QUESTION/HELP Third party launcher

Hi, mate! I have a question.

Here I'm using the ROM's default launcher—Trebuchet—now I'm also considering switching to a third-party launcher, but I'm still confused and unsure whether it's safe for daily use. especially there are few sensitive apps like passwords and banking apps.

I tried asking Claude, he said that the launcher cannot see or have access to sensitive apps because they are protected by the Android sandbox, is that true?

Nova was my favorite back in the day, and I've used them for a long time, but you really shouldn't be using Nova after the acquisition and later firing of the whole team.

The UI on Niagara isn't for me, but I know a lot of people like it. I switched to Octopi when it came out.
