Blank home screen after unlocking

Periodically,after unlocking (usually after a little.time has passed since the last unlock), the launcher shows only a blank screen with wallpaper and a weird drop down arrow where the Google at a glance widget is placed. Scrolling the apps, or swiping up/back restores launcher elements. See before and after screenshots attached.

Add a call and text button beside the contact in search

Adding a call button and a text button beside the appeared contact will be really helpful for contacting people quickly. Currently on tapping the appeared contact name, opens the contact details then you have to tap the call or text button. So it is 2 clicks away. Adding the requested feature will make calling or texting possible in just one click. A possible solution attached:

Icon Pack Studio API / Individual icons editing

Icon Pack Studio supports editing individual icons. The action is triggered from the Edit Icon menu in the launcher. The IPS team has a description of how to use this feature with Smart Launcher and Nova. In this Reddit post, the developers stated that Niagara doesn’t support it. So I’m asking you to please add this support. Thanks in advance.

overflow indicators on folders with many elements

For folders with many items its impossible to see if there are more items than visible. Is it possible to add an optional indicator? suggestions: 1; add gradient. add a contrast gradient on the bottom if items are hidden. add gradient on top if items are hidden 2: add an arrow up/down if items are hidden. could ofc be any symbol. a dot is clean and if placed near top/bottom border informs well. if you are in the middle of the folder and it overflows both directions just show both indicators. 3: scroll bar. i personally am not a fan. but it does solve it....

Feature Request

Double tap to turn off

I want a feature where if you double tap an empty space you turn off the phone because a lot of people i know need this feature because their power buttons are broken and want to switch to a new launcher but cant because the launchers lock this behind a paywall. My parents wont pay for niagara pro and my phone is a discontinued model so i cant turn off the phone and have to wait for the screen timeout to turn off my phone.

Horizontal Align the Favorites

I'm right handed, so it's easiest for me to reach the bottom and the right of my phone. I also like the visuals of a horizontal row of icons at the bottom, which look like a Mac OS tray of icons. It also clutters my background wallpaper less, since it occludes an easily cropped out bottom rather than half of my wallpaper which is hard to crop out, with more precious space taken in portrait mode. Most wallpapers have dead space built into the visuals at the bottom too.

Custom Images as Folder Icons in Niagara Launcher

I'd love to see a feature in Niagara Launcher that lets users use their own images or icons for folders (or app groups). Instead of only using the default icons or emojis, it would be great to select a custom picture - for example, a photo, logo, or minimalist symbol. This would make personalization much more flexible and help users create truly unique setups. It would especially appeal to people who care about design or like to build themed homescreens (e.g., monochrome, Material You, retro, etc.). Ideally, you could pick an image directly from your gallery or even use an icon pack. Example: A music folder could use an album cover as its icon. A fitness folder could show a custom gym or workout symbol. Overall, this feature would make Niagara not just elegant and minimal, but also more personal and expressive.
