I’ve been using Neo pretty much since Nova was sold to the ad company. I definitely wish it had more active development, but it’s been a good enough replacement for me.
It was the first launcher I found that also has the feature to set a folder to launch a specific app on single tap and show everything in the folder with a swipe up. I didn’t realize how much I relied on this with Nova until I tried other launchers that didn’t have it.
It’s called cover mode. If you open the folder and press the 3 dots to the right of the folder name on the bottom you can toggle it on. It just uses the first app in the folder as the primary app/icon for the folder.
Neo Launcher has development stagnation, but otherwise it’s very feature close and an influx of users might get more dev attention.

That was a nice feature.
Oh wow, I started using neo recently as a Nova replacement and didn’t know it has this. Great news!

I feel the same way. I like folders but don’t want to see them. I’ll try Neo Launcher.
