Early version: this app is still being built and tested. Things may change or break. Trying it and telling the makers what you find is a big help.
This comes straight from Yagni Launcher’s own GitHub page, and it’s free. Need help installing?

About this app
Yagni Launcher replaces the home screen your phone came with. It does the things a stock launcher does, but the whole app is about 2 MB instead of the usual tens of megabytes, so it opens quickly and leaves your battery alone.
The name comes from a programming rule, "You Aren't Gonna Need It". If a feature isn't genuinely needed it doesn't go in, which is why the app stays small while others grow with every update. It was written from scratch rather than forked from an existing launcher, and there are no paywalls and no trackers.
This is still an alpha build, so expect bugs and missing pieces.
