About this app
Lyft Launcher is a minimal Privacy-focused Android launcher designed to reduce phone usage by removing everything that makes your phone addictive.
● No icons.
● No colors.
● No animations.
● No endless customization.
Instead of visual stimulation, Lyft shows you time, text, and intention.
Your home screen becomes a dashboard of your life — not a feed engineered to steal it.
Modern smartphones are not tools anymore.
They are stimulation machines disguised as tools.
Every icon, color, vibration, and animation is designed to:
● trigger dopamine
● encourage impulsive opens
● erase your sense of time
Most launchers make this worse by adding more features, more visuals, and more novelty.
Lyft does the opposite.

What Makes Lyft Different
Lyft is built around three principles:
1. Time over content
See your year, month, and day as physical progress grids.
Time becomes visible, finite, and impossible to ignore.
2. Text over visuals
Apps appear as plain text.
No icons. No imagery. No sensory hooks.
3. Friction over convenience
Distracting apps require a pause and breathing before opening.
Not blocked. Just slowed down enough to make you think.
