"Switch to Niagara Launcher" popup

Bug Reports

Hello!

I don't know how many years I've been using Niagara Launcher now. I love the way it offers to navigate my apps. To be honest, that's all that I use it for: As an App drawer. I place the icon in the middle of the screen on my default launcher. When I want to open an app, I click on the Niagara icon and there's my app drawer. There's always been this annoying message on top of the screen reminding me to set Niagara as my home screen. It's not beautiful, but I could live with it. Today I woke up to see that the newest update contained a bug - at least I don't know what else to call it. Everytime I open Niagara, it now shows a pop up above everything else, trying to force me to set it as my default launcher, which it is not and never will be. I cannot access everything on it until I click “I am unsure”, then “Not now” and then “I am unsure” again. Three taps, just to access my favorite app drawer. I mean WTF? Is this really necessary? Do I have to look for a new launcher/ app drawer after five years now? Please, please unroll this super annoying feature or be sure to lose me as an user.

Best Regards

    Hey Marco!

    Please try the secret command /suppress-set-launcher-prompt (by typing it into Niagara Launcher’s search bar and pressing enter, or by clicking on this link). Afterwards you should no longer be prompted to set Niagara Launcher as your default launcher.


    The use case to use Niagara Launcher solely as an app drawer is not officially supported (the popup is intended to resolve issues for users that use Niagara Launcher as their main homescreen and works as intended), but the above secret command should hopefully make it possible 👌
