About this app

umbra is a minimal, private launcher. it is built so it can't phone home: no account, no telemetry, no cloud, no ai. your home screen is yours. a distraction-free, minimalist home screen built for focus and digital wellbeing.

a calm home
· a vertical list of favorites, folders with glyph icons, a vertical dock, and one page of widgets.
· curated wallpaper surfaces and hand-picked palettes, with lock-screen wallpaper control.
· monochrome icon theming with an accent tint and a contrast outline that holds on every app icon.

search that actually finds things
· fuzzy search across all your apps, plus concept search: type "finance" or "games" and get the apps that fit.
· settings shortcuts, an inline calculator, and a web-search row when you do want the browser.

attention tools
· friction before the apps you choose to slow down on, so opening one is a decision and not a reflex.
· a home that changes through the day, so morning isn't midnight's feed.
· a home that stays quiet by default: labels off, opt-in notification dots, one page.
· and the whole screen can drop to grayscale when you want it.

private by architecture, not by promise
· zero accounts, zero telemetry, zero data collection. the play data-safety label reads "no data collected" because there is nothing to collect.
· notification dots via opt-in notification access. content is read in memory and never stored or sent.

what umbra will never do
· never a subscription. umbra pro is a one-time purchase: pay once, own it forever.
· never an account, never analytics, never ads, never a server holding your data.
· never an upload. your layout, settings, and usage stay on your phone, and system backup is disabled on purpose.

umbra pro unlocks premium themes and curated surfaces, plus unlimited favorites, dock apps, and widgets. the free tier is fully usable: 7 favorites, 4 dock apps, 3 widgets, and every privacy feature included.
