Having been someone who has always android and stuck with the launchers that came with phones (HTC, OnePlus, Pixel), I one day decided to change the icons on my home screen. That's how I discovered Niagara and paid for the pro version. Love it! Thanks very much.
I like how Niagara, also working on productivity. It always nice to have a good balance of visual changes ( customisation ) and digital wellbeing. Good work Peter, i think we r on the right track ❤❤
Thanks for the good news 👍 As a screen reader user, I thought you might like to mention that you have received an email from Acessible Android, where we have reported the various bugs in Niagara Launcher 😊
I will always love Niagara launcher but i have to say that i really dont care about the well-being features and would rather have more customization options. I would pay extra money if you added a color picker as a theme option instead of it randomly picking from the wallpaper.
Thanks for the feedback. You can currently select from several colors extracted from the wallpaper and some set colors. You can change the color used by going to Niagara settings > Look > Theme color. -Tam
I have been using niagara since it was first released and it was the first launcher I stuck around with instead of switching to another shiny thing a month later. Its been almost 4 years now. Thats for all the work! I hope the finances are in order for you guys because I feel bad for getting the pro version for a steal more than 2 years ago. That little money has given me so many features over the years. Best perchance ever!! Is there a way I can donate more money to the project? I would hate to see this financially un viable for you guys
Thanks for the kind words. We want to reward our early adopters, that's why running subscriptions stay at their original price regardless of any price increase. We really appreciate you wanting to support the development even more 💙 At the moment, there is no way to donate, but we might add something, since this is not the first time we get this request :) Again, thanks for your support! - Tam
Please add both wellbeing nonsense and more customization nonsense. Well, klwp is already great with Niagara but the br screen function is a bit finicky, might be klwp problem though.
The battery consumption per app listed in the device settings is inaccurate for launchers since most things that run in the background while the launcher is in the foreground are counted towards the launcher. The same is applicable for widgets. Battery consumed by displaying widgets is counted towards Niagara Launcher. Please check if the battery consumption is similar to that of other third-party launchers and report back if the difference is big. -Tam
I love rhe usage breaker! Please also make it so that the choosen apps will close after a selected time automatically and also a pop up when opening rhe app which will ask if I really want to open it 🙏
Please add "Double tap to lock". I use big phone and it is hard to bring down the thumb to Niagara logo to lock the phone and I don't prefer to use lock button too much.
@NiagaraLauncher Thanks for reply. May be its just me but tapping on alphabets to lock have 2 problems. First, when I unlock phone again I get to see alphabets only and I need to go back for home screen. Second, again its too narrow space for big hand people like me. Double tapping anywhere on screen is much better option in my opinion.
Do you mean that the widget stack doesn't loop when reaching the end? That usually happens when you have an accessibility service enabled that's acting as a screen reader. In this case, we explicitly disable the feature since it would cause issues with those screen readers. There were very few cases where the launcher went into that state even though the users said they didn't use a screen reader; we aren't sure yet what's triggering it but I'm guessing the system is misreporting something there.
@@amarnadhmadugula6111 yes, unfortunately, as we couldn't reproduce it, there wasn't much to say. It definitely sounds like a system issue, where *something* is reporting as an accessibility service while it shouldn't..
Yep, Niagara Launcher started as Peter's side project during his studies, and then all of us joined one after another because the idea was awesome! The average age in the team is 25 :) - Tam
Niagara Launcher has always been my favorite for its simplicity and functionality-been using it for 3 years, including 2 years with Pro! In the AI era, integrating AI for smarter personalization and productivity features would be a game-changer. I'm a backend AI Python developer and would love to collaborate on this.

niagara lifetime subscription has been my most expensive subscription ever, but without a doubt, its the best one
Love Niagara launcher! All the best for the Niagara lquncher team in its future endeavours!
No matter what, I'm always circling back to this.
There's this weird battle between "customisation" and "wellbeing" people in the comments 😅
What we really want is wellbeing customization
What we really want is customization wellbeing

Usage breaker is really innovative. Glad that you took time to implement this.
YES Ive been struggling with my youtube addiction for the longest time ever! Thank you Niagara team, cant wait for the new features!
Having been someone who has always android and stuck with the launchers that came with phones (HTC, OnePlus, Pixel), I one day decided to change the icons on my home screen. That's how I discovered Niagara and paid for the pro version. Love it! Thanks very much.
The backup feature is simply crucial. Thank you for the implementation
Finally, Backup & Restore feature
This the only launcher that's worth paying for yearly, 💕😊
Congratulations on graduating & standing up the business, gentlemen.
I love Niagra Launcher but have drifted away in recent years. That usage breaker is so good! Time to hop back in! Congratulations on graduation!!
I asked for this feature one year back. Thank you Niagra❤
Hope those changes don't mess up the best launcher of all time.
I'm so thankful for backup feature. Was wondering the same as I was thinking of upgrading smartphone.
Even tho I don't like subscriptions, Niagara is so good and helpful that I can't help but pay for it!! It's too good 😂❤❤ love you guys!! 💕
Congratulations on being able to do this full time now!
Congrats on finishing school, looking forward to seeing what you guys can do with more time. Excited for backups as well!
backup is peak, also just buying Niagara pro before the price increase made me feel like I've saved some money for myself
I should've bought it before it's first price increase
😔 I think it's $30 now

been using Niagara launcher for 5 years+
I hope I can continue for rest of the life.

@NiagaraLauncher thanks, I did know that, and it is nice, but sometimes it simply doesn't give me the color I want. That's all
Your English is very good for someone who does not speak it as a first language! Also...America loves bureaucracy too! 🤣
The only launcher I trust!!

We're now full circle
This launcher is consuming so much battery. Is there any solution for this?

Muito bom 🇧🇷
please add wellbeing instead of customisation nonsens ;)
Digital Wellbeing already provides usage breaker in my device.😅
I love rhe usage breaker! Please also make it so that the choosen apps will close after a selected time automatically and also a pop up when opening rhe app which will ask if I really want to open it 🙏
Saudações do Brasil!
Soli Deo gloria!

We already support double-tap to lock.

Please restore the widget stack navigation ive been asking this for while but your team isnt responding? What is this? Didnt expect this from you
Calm down mate, they probably can't answer all email/inquiry.

@@Maxr1998X Yeah it's not working even if I Stop the accessibility they've replied me months ago that they'll check it out but no update after that
@@SoulDuckling126 ok bro thanks 👍

Maybe built in backup-restore feature finally
Good guess 😉
What is new now 😊😊😊😊😂😂 eagerly awaiting
Maybe fix the bug where the apps on main screen will launch a different app than the one being touched. Or the bug where it's laggy
A no, I changed devices before the 😅 backup.
Exelente lo aprecio
LETSGOOOOOOOOO 🚀
May be dont limit swipe on alphabets.
I Actually love the minimalism of this launcher NEVER overcomplicate it please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wao
please add customisation instead of wellbeing nonsens
Perfect! I don't see any importance in the well-being stuff
I have been told a year ago the pebble icon shape would be added.
Why not both? Tbf Digital Wellbeing is already a built in feature from Google/Android itself.
Wellbeing is usually done as an add on. Niagara does everything better than other launchers, so it will probably do wellbeing better too.
Stop this nonsens. It already has lot of customisation. It shouldn't lose it ease of use and minimalism.
Whats with the nonsense comments??

You've got that backwards ;-)
Need wellbeing!
@@vvill-ga naaaa we Don't
I can't find any need or use for it. Ever. If you do need it. You may have issues a launcher could never solve.
