If you're looking for a minimal launcher, a fine option just revealed itself on Reddit

One of the best things about Android is that you can easily replace your stock app launcher with something more fitting to your workflow, whether that's a launcher that mimics the look of Windows Phone, or leans into minimalism like AIO. And minimalist launchers aren't something new; we've had plenty, from long-lost launchers like Lightning Launcher to modern options like Olauncher, and today I found another to add to the list, thanks to a post on Reddit by the developer. The launcher is called ClearMind, and I'd say it even beats Olauncher at its own minimalist game, as this sucker is as lean as Nestlé's cuisine.
