I use KISS Launcher, so it’s just a giant searchable list os apps

Folders for things I use daily. For everything else I just search.

I use Niagara launcher, so all of my apps are in a single scrollable list.

This isn’t a screenshot of my own phone, but this is essentially what it looks like. There’s an A-Z list on the right that you can use to jump to a specific letter, or just scroll down the full list on the left. You can keep a small list of favorites at the top. It does support folders, but I don’t use them.

I have everything in folders on my home screen, I don’t like swiping

I have three folders in the home screen so it can have Safari and look balanced. For apps not in the folders I use search.

One page of favourites, then search-based for other apps.

I find it more practical to seperate by things you uses frequently vs things you use occasionally. Frequently used things get a place on the home page where it’s easy to get to, everything else is dumped into a few broad catagories.

I have 4 folders, “stores(&bank stuff)” “games(&entertainment)” “utilities(&misc)” and “work”.

It’s all sorted alphabetical.

Neither - I use KISS, which means a click on the first letter of an app brings every app starting with it, ordered by frequent use. With 6 shortcuts at the bottom I’m good, never more than 2 clicks away from anything.

I have my 15-ish most used apps on my home screen. Anything else I access through the main app list. No folders or anything. But I do try to keep the number of apps on my phone low. I refuse to install a dozen store-bound savings apps and all that crap. I prefer mobile sites over apps anyway so my adblocker functions.

No folders. I gave up on that a long time ago. It is too much maintenance to organize everything and it doesn’t really help you find things that much. I just scroll through the alphabetical drawer of all apps to find what I need.

Use Macrodroid’s Drawer (slides out from left side) and Folders from Jina Drawer.

Jina can work with folders and tags to automatically sort apps.

But that’s how my brain works, I need the structure to find stupid apps with terrible names.

I only have widgets on my home screen, but only for stuff i deem important enough (Auxio, Breezy Weather & Clock). I have my important apps for which i don’t have an appropriate (and fitting) widget (Signal, Element, Firefox, Obsidian) in my dock organized using folders based on category. In the app drawer i use Lawnchair’s caddy layout, which sorts my apps based on their category. Despite this i mostly just use the search bar for looking for apps.

One screen of my most frequently used apps, no folders, and spotlight for everything else. It invariably surfaces whatever I’m looking for with just the first letter, so I don’t see the point in cluttering my phone with extra screens and folders.

I find it far easier to swipe to themed screens, each with a combo of widgets and apps.

I have one folder for car parking apps and so on, which I use less often.

I use single screen and custom dock app. I don’t like people seeing what apps I have and I like seeing my wallpaper.
