Reviewing the best minimal Android launchers in 2024, testing my favourite alternative setups to the excellent Niagara. For productivity and performance, here's the top 5 launchers to download for your phone including Minimalist, AP15, Yasan and KISS.

Let us know your own choice for the best Android setup in 2024 down below, and I'm hoping to round up the ones I like the most soon!

Niagara is still one of my absolute favourite launchers thanks to its minimal but genius layout. You get fast access to the most important apps, with the others buried away in a cascading menu.

However, I've also got a lot of love for AP15, which does away with icons and replaces them with straight text. This helps to limit distractions, with surprisingly deep customisation, making it one of the best productivityfocused launchers in 2024. It's similar to Minimalist, which costs a hefty chunk these days, but absolutely free!

For the top new minimal launchers in 2024, Yasan is a solid choice. This AIled effort slaps just nine icons on your Android phone's desktop, based on the time of day and your browsing habits. And I'm also still a fan of the slick and simple KISS launcher.

Those are my picks for the top free and premium minimalist setups, let me know how wrong I am below!
