Dumb Phone (dp)

helps me a lot with my addiction to the phone. Works great, looks great, worth the subscription 😎

I don’t use this to reduce my screen time, I use it to make my phone minimalistic, just how I like it. The app is very beginner friendly, easy to use and highly customizable

This is a great tool. I used it with my second phone, but ended up using this app on both.

This app makes me use my phone differently. I’m not bombarded with badges, colors. It minimalistic look resonates with me and I find it calming. I’m not overwhelmed by the screen - I choose what I want on it and have it at my fingertips. Adding color filter B&W makes it even more impactful. Thanks Michael for making this app! All the best 😎

Setting up it is impossible. There is no any understandable guide for setting apps.

Simple, smart, elegant way to get your phone off your back.

I took off a star because I would like a smaller widget size to add to the main screen-and perhaps some font/text options?

I’ve been wanting to switch to a true dumb phone for a while but have a hard time with the idea of not having (good) access to maps, notes, a good camera, banking apps, Spotify, etc. This app helps solve the problem! I’m much less inclined to get distracted by all kinds of notifications or other distractions when I pick my phone up now, and when I do, I do it with intention. The main screen alone makes my phone much less addictive without the colourful apps and notification bubbles. Detox mode is incredibly helpful as well - completely hiding those distracting apps so they don’t come into view in the App Library or spotlight search. Used in conjunction with an app like opal or freedom (apps that completely lock you out of certain apps during a set schedule or after a certain amount of time) this app will help you take back your time and attention and truly use your phone as a tool again.

Reduces screen time and distraction but annoyingly changes background colors frequently requiring manual intervention.

Thank you so much! After using the dumb phone app, I noticed a significant change in my habits. I feel much better without sacrificing the access to the useful and powerful phone I need at times. Initially, I was considering getting an actual dumb phone, but this app allows me to have the best of both worlds.
