Niagara Launcher is great. I used to use Nova, but found myself only using one home screen page and only like one widget. Niagara does take some getting used to, but I also suggest giving it a try.
I can echo this. I used Nova for close to a decade, and everybody talked about Niagara so I tried it a couple of times but it didn't stick. I guess it took three tries for me, because I realized that the one-handed navigation for any app, the ability to easily find things alphabetically, and the fact that I could have my home screen apps pinned to the top of the list all make it way cleaner
I can echo echo this.
Once you figure out how Niagara works and all the little shortcuts you have available, the workflow is so quick and easy to use.
I've tried going back to default launchers and they just feel bloated and disorganized by comparison
