I’ve been using Before Launcher and requested the feature a few years back. They said they wanted to support it eventually.

I’ve tried a handful of alternatives and they all seem to lack this capability.

    What are some of the ones you’ve tried and how do you define minimal?

    I use action launcher but I guess that does quite a few things… I haven’t changed my setup or layout in about 7 or 8 years!

      Tried these ones: Olauncher, Oasis, minimalist phone, Indistract, Minimalist Launcher, Productivity Launcher

      I think it’s a relatively defined launcher category at this point. Typically they’re monochrome and text-based. Often have features to limit notifications and track phone usage

          I tried it out. Seems like a nice one and does have backup & restore! But it’s not minimalist as described above. I didn’t see an option to hide app icons
