Been using lawnchair since forever, I try to avoid closed source apps as much as possible, so Nova was never an option for me.

The play store says lawnchair isn’t available because it was made for an older version of Android… The versions on F-Droid are 2 years old too …

Just wish it would get more development.
The last Alpha is from August 8 and even then the current iteration is a shell of what Lawnchair was during the V2 Alpha days

Consider using Neo Launcher. It’s open source and actively developed and is basically what lawnchair aimed to be.

is there any launcher out there which has got offline OCR support in recents like the Pixel Launcher? The custom rom I use(EvolutionX) does have launcher3 as its default(basically identical to Pixel launcher in every aspect, just without that Select/OCR in recents menu, and its got a bit more customisability since it’s open source), but being able to select images/text right from the recents menu without having to connect to the internet was something that I found to be a really powerful tool. miss having it handy whenever I needed it…
