Problem Description
Currently I have to use the Apps category in the settings app to access apps in my Private Space, and if I want to lock/unlock my private space, I have to launch the AOSP launcher and lock it there.
Proposed Solution
Support Private Spaces in at least the same capacity as AOSP Launcher, that is at the bottom of the app drawer there is a window for unlocking the private space and then it's apps are accessible, and they have a special icon to indicate the apps are inside the private space.
Alternatives Considered
Currently there is no other FOSS app that can manage private spaces in any capacity as far as I know, though maybe Shelter could gain this functionality instead. The launcher would still be more convenient.

hope this is useful information for the devs
Would also love this, have to have 2 launchers installed just to use this currently
Currently the functionality to interact with Private Space / Work Profile is buggy on my phone, with a floating button on the bottom left to close apps on the app drawer that ends up doing nothing besides blocking apps on the drawer. Also is it a good idea to make it so you can search for something like "Private Space" or similar / custom phrase to launch it as well?
