Alias for apps

Feature Request

Sometimes apps are named in a weird way to find them quickly using Niagara Launcher (e.g. MyVodafone, MeinDm,…).

Some apps are relying on their original app icons for context (e.g. Bosch Flow) so that the name is not exactly self speaking.

Providing an Alias for the app name and finding it under that alias in the Niagara Launcher would greatly improve the flow of use. For example I could scroll to “V” because I renamed “MyVodafone” to “Vodafone” which would feel much more intuitive.

    You can already rename apps, you then just don't see the original name the anymore. I renamed “MeinDm” to “Dm”. You sure could also change it to “D MeinDm” to somewhat keep the original name and still have it show up under “D”.

    To change the name of an app, give it a long press, and then tap the Name
