Open-source launcher without drawer? (lemmy.ml)

Is there an iOS-styled launcher that is open-source and conforms to Material You? I find drawers a little bit inconvenient.

An iOS styled drawer that is styled according to Material You? This seems contradictory.

Are there any open source iOS launchers at all? I haven't found any.

A FOSS alternative to dynamic island at least is Smart Edge from F-Droid, but it doesn't work so well, and isn't exactly what you're looking for.

Just don't open the drawer if you don't want the drawer - doesn't that make the most sense versus looking for something with few features? Never look to Apple for the right answer - that is always a good place to start.

Nova launcher lets you customize how the app drawer is opened - so you can turn off gesture opening via one of the other options. Nova is a great launcher, I switched to the paid version a couple of years back and found it to be my favorite. I just wish they'd launch Nova 8 which has been in beta for 2 years already.
