I just released Dialect, a free and open source Android launcher where your home screen is a T9 phone dialpad.
Type digits like an old feature phone to filter your installed apps and launch them. Press 3, then 4, and Discord comes up, since D is 3 and I is 4. Each key press narrows the list, and Enter launches the top match.
It has full TalkBack support: key labels read like a real phone dialpad, Enter announces exactly which app it will launch.
1.0 is out now, fully open source, on GitHub. Feedback, bug reports, and contributions welcome.

I've tried pairing my Meta glasses to an iPhone for the first time, having only paired them to Android thus far. The Bluetooth audio lag when connected to an iPhone Air is so much worse than when connected to a Galaxy fold.
