Swedish firm Instabridge has acquired the renowned Android app, Nova Launcher, with plans to revitalize its development and maintain its legacy features. Nova Launcher will stay compatible with modern Android versions while prioritizing stability and feature maintenance.
Instabridge's Strategic Plans
Instabridge aims to sustain Nova Launcher's core strengths: performance, flexibility, and user control. The company is considering sustainable business models like paid tiers and ads. Nova Prime, however, will remain ad-free, with Instabridge ensuring any ads in free versions are non-disruptive.
Investment in Features and Privacy
Instabridge pledges to invest in Nova's performance and customization features. The company is also evaluating open-sourcing and emphasizes data privacy commitments, ensuring minimal data collection without selling personal data.
