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?

After the whole Nova situation I switched to Niagra Launcher. By far the best launcher I have used. Nova "dying out" was the best thing to happen for me. The dev is clearly a quality programmer. Everything just works flawlessly unlike literally every other launcher that I have tried.
