Can someone tell me why an Android launcher should have Internet access…? Been on the hunt for a new launcher but am not installing software which I fail to see having to use the net to operate…just like keyboards…another one that has me scratch my head

    They might need access so that widgets can work?

    I use Lawnchair which is FOSS rather than some company scraping data (like Nova which was bought by an analytics company and is being shut down)

      I’ve been holding onto OG Lawnchair faaaar too long. I wish the updated version would land on official F-Droid already.
