Insular, a FLOSS fork of Island, allows you to isolate privacy invading Android apps and prevent them from running when you don't want them too. (f-droid.org)

You can install any APK using Insular after installing, and it'll go to your "work profile" which is supported by most launchers. I'm using Lawnchair v2, and work apps have their own tab in the app drawer.

You can also clone apps to the work profile by just going to the app and searching through installed apps
