    I feel the same. I like having my desktop with easy to reach commonly used apps, and a few widgets, such at a Google calendar widget and my keep notes. And I want all the things in the exact spot I put them, so I can build muscle memory to go where I want. The dock is not so necessary as long as I can have enough icons on the desktop. And then I want an app drawer, where I can divide it into tabs, one for regular apps and one for games.

    The closest I could find are either:

    Lawnchair launcher, but it’s missing the drawer tabs (it has folders though)

    Pear Launcher, it has everything, but unfortunately it doesn’t remove the games from the main apps tab when I add them to a games tab…

        Same here - I heavily rely on drawer tabs, and it’s a very under-implemented feature across all of the competition.

          I wasn’t able to figure out how to do drawer tabs in Octopi. Can you help me figure that out?

            Sure. Open the app drawer, long press an app and there’s a weird icon towards the bottom of the list with a plus symbol that’ll let you add a new tag.

            After you’ve done that you can long press on the tags at the top to add/remove apps in bulk.

        Pear Launcher has them but calls them “App Groups”. But as I said, the missing piece is to hide them from the main tab when they have been added to another tab
