About this app

Your phone, but calmer.

Yin Yang is a minimalist Android launcher built to reduce screen time, stop doomscrolling, and clear the clutter. A distraction-free launcher with a calm home screen, gentle awareness tools, and the essentials you need, one swipe away.

🏠 Home Screen: Minimalism, made beautiful

• Grayscale icons, black and white themes, and clean typography for a non-distracting interface. An e-ink launcher made for paper-like screens.
• Edit Look: restyle home, drawer, and My Space with a live preview
• Two home layouts: clock-first Classic, or a minimal text launcher with your apps as a quiet list
• Clocks, fonts, icon packs, and static, dynamic, or live wallpapers, with light, dark, or auto themes
• App drawer your way: text-only or icons, A to Z sections, recent apps. Hide apps you'd rather not see.

🌿 Mind Space: Less screen time, more focus

You set the boundary, the app holds it.

• Pause before you scroll (Mindful Pause): A calming breath before distracting apps open. A soft moment to ask: do I really want this scroll? Six in ten pauses end in a walk-away.
• App timer (Mindful Timer): Give the apps that eat your screen time a shared daily budget, then open each one for a session you choose. When time's up, a gentle cooldown.
• Focus Mode: Hide everything except the apps you allow. Start anytime, or set schedules. Soft sessions let you leave early. Strict sessions hold the line.
• App blocker (Mindful Break): Block a distracting app for 1, 3, 7, or 30 days, a real digital detox. It stays visible but faded, with your reason and the date it comes back.
• Screen time tracker: Daily screen time, pickups, and what you reach for after each unlock. Plain data, no report card.

🧠 An ADHD launcher that lowers the noise

• Grayscale, clutter-free screens lower visual noise. Three predictable pages, so everything lives where you left it.
• Notes, to-dos, and calendar one swipe away: the external memory your brain should not have to be.
• Gentle pauses catch autopilot app-opens.

📌 My Space: A productivity launcher with widgets

Widgets that earn their place. Every essential, none of the noise.

• Built-in widgets for Notes, To-Do, Calendar, Weather, App Folders, quotes, Screen Time, Steps, Hydration, and Music
• Third-party Android widgets like Google Calendar, Spotify, and Google Keep, in color or monochrome

💚 Generous free tier

No forced subscription. Free: themes, both layouts, static wallpapers, app drawer customization, breathing guides, Mindful Pause and Timer for your top distraction, soft Focus sessions, and a curated set of My Space widgets.

Accessibility Service
Yin Yang uses Android's Accessibility Service for two optional features, and nothing else. Double-tap to lock: detects your double-tap gesture on the home screen and turns the display off. Mindful Timer: notices the moment a monitored app comes to the foreground so your session timer starts right away. Both are off by default, and Yin Yang works fully without enabling Accessibility. We never read screen content, notifications, messages, or any other personal data, and nothing is collected or shared. You can turn it off anytime in Android Settings.

Ratings and reviews

I started wanting to give this 2 days to fully experience it. It bleed into several weeks using it and I became very comfortable with it. I like it a lot. My few complaints are the unfair decision of some of its features behind a pro subscription like the mindful timer or blocking features. But the basics are covered, they work great. However, I've decided to delete it due to a notification of how high consumption this launcher is as a precaution. Would try again.

Updated perfect. they added a simple line icon pack that changes with the theme. I have been on the fence about paying $30 for lifetime but I knew I wanted it after that release. keep up the good work. Original Almost perfect. I think the only thing it's missing for myself is the ability to set icons. it would be cool if I could change icons. it would be cooler if I can change them with the theme so I can do a black white setup. this is still my main launcher now.

I like it in general, but I'm not paying $30.00 for a launcher, and definitely not a subscription. It's not a subscription app. I'm also very angry that the developers think I should pay them to use my own wallpapers on my own device, that's absurd! Already looking for a replacement. They should've asked for a one time payment of $10.00 instead.
