Ratings and reviews

So far, the app has been wonderful. It helped reduce my screen time drastically, and i love the simple design. The only thing I've noticed that i dont like is that when i go to search for an app, it will open the app before i even finish typing or press enter. That's not even that bad, though. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants to get away from their electronics for a bit! I find myself reading, drawing, and studying much more, and im enjoying it.

Great app for cutting down on screen time and a reasonable alternative to going the dumb phone route. Keeps all your essential apps close at hand while creating just enough friction to really cut down on bad smartphone habits. Also makes your UI a lot less interesting, so you can stay focused and get in and out of your phone without being sidelined.

Super simple minimal launcher. Home screen becomes a text-only list of the few apps you choose. All other apps are in a text-only app drawer. I've been enjoying the optional daily wallpaper. So far it has mostly been soothing nature scenes. That may be part of the magic - the pretty pictures are a momentary distraction from the urge to click or scroll.
