Branch.io, which owns Nova, laid off more than 100 people, including most of the Nova Launcher team. It’s now down to just the original founder, Kevin Barry.
Nearly the entire team working on Nova Launcher, one of the biggest names in Android homescreen replacements, has been laid off. The team is now down to just one full time developer: Kevin Barry, the launcher’s founder. Barry said development will continue and that he will remain in charge of the project.
Nova has been a standby in the Android Launcher community for years, offering a highly customizable twist on the platform’s standard home screen options. The app was acquired by Branch, a mobile analytics company, in July 2022. Branch is now laying off more than 100 people across the entire company, including the bulk of Nova’s team, according to Cliff Wade, Nova Launcher’s customer relations lead. There were previously “around a dozen people” working on Nova, Wainwright said.
