Dumb Phone (dp)

App molto utile, semplice ed efficace. Se il tuo obiettivo è ridurre l’uso del telefono, è perfetta. Molto gentili e veloci i contatti con il team per la richiesta di nuove app.

Smartphone for dumb people and dumb phone for smart people ;-) I was waiting for such an app to exist, it make my phone so much sleeker and more design while stopping me from flipping the home screen for my dopamine shot. The fact that you can also rename your apps on the list enables a bit of poetry and humor. Micheal is also a great developer attentive to feedback and proportions. Thank you very much!

App is great, but why do I have to pay

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.

Great app with clean interface and lots of easy customizations.

Does what it says. Honestly wish I didn’t have to pay to simplify, but that’s the world we live in I suppose. The most distracting thing in the world is also the tool we use for so many things it’s insane. These phones are designed to keep us on them. Let’s keep using it as a tool and not be used ourselves.
