Nova Launcher is back with a second unexpected update in as many weeks
 

TL;DR

• Nova Launcher’s fate looked uncertain as of September, with no original developers left to work on it.
• Last month, a surprise update arrived supposedly based on previously prepared code.
• This week it’s followed by a new update, including bug fixes and stability improvements.

Earlier this year, fans of the popular Nova Launcher found themselves waking up to some bad news. Back in September, developer Kevin Barry shared that he had finally left Branch Metrics, the firm which acquired the launcher in 2022. While that looked like the end of the road for Nova Launcher, just last week users started noticing a new 8.1.3 update hitting their devices — and now it’s already being joined by a new release.
