Minimal Detox Launcher: Focus

Minimal Detox Launcher is a calm, text-first home screen that helps you use your phone less and focus more. It swaps busy icon grids for a clean minimal launcher and adds a gentle pause before the apps that eat your time, so digital detox becomes a daily habit. Set it as your default Home app and the Home button always brings you back to a quiet screen: the time, your tasks and only the apps you need. Everything else is one swipe away. ★ A CALM, MINIMAL HOME SCREEN Long-press the clock to switch between home looks: • Classic: clock, a friendly greeting, today's open tasks and your favorite apps as a simple text list • Zen: just the clock and the date. Tap the clock when you need your apps • Essential (Pro): your key apps as plain text tiles • HUD (Pro): battery, screen time, distractions resisted and a focus button at a glance • Board (Pro): a dot clock over a week calendar, a music card, a mini widget and four favorite apps as lettered circles Choose a clock face in digits, dots or Roman numerals, and show this week's days under the date. Tap a day to open your calendar. Apps you mark as distracting are drawn dimmed, so they stop calling for your attention. ★ MINDFUL APP GATE Mark the apps that steal your time. Before one opens, the detox launcher shows a short pause: • Breathe with an animated ring • Solve a quick sum that gets harder the more often you open that app today • Or simply wait a few seconds (you set the length) You see how many times you opened it today and, with usage access on, how many minutes you spent in it. Then you choose: "Not now" takes you home, "Open anyway" lets you in. Every time you step back is counted as a win. ★ PROTECT YOUR LIMITS Turn on Protect and any change that loosens your detox, like removing an app or switching the pause off, asks for your screen lock first. ★ FOCUS TOOLS • Focus timer (Pomodoro) from 5 to 90 minutes • Guided breathing, with a mindful pace and a slower focus pace • Daily task list, shown on your home screen • Mood journal (Pro): how are you, really? • A simple calculator ★ BOARD MINI WIDGETS (PRO) The Board look has one active card you can change any time: Snake on a dot grid, rock paper scissors against your phone, battery level in dot digits, today's screen time or a coin flip. ★ WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who picks up the phone "for a second" and loses an hour • Students and remote workers who need deep focus time • People taking a digital detox or cutting down on social media • Fans of a clean minimal launcher with no icon clutter ★ HOW TO USE IT 1.
