PRODUCTIVITY · iOS
less phone. more life.
a calm, text-based launcher that replaces your colorful home screen and makes every app you open an intentional choice.
scan to installan iphone app can't install on a desktop — point your camera here to open it on your phone.
THE IDEA
a tool, not a slot machine
a bright wall of icons and badges is built to pull you back. dumbphone turns your phone into a quiet, monospaced list of just the apps you chose when you were thinking clearly — so opening one is a decision, not a reflex.
quiet by default
monochromatic, no rainbow pickers, no ads, no tracking. it is a self-directed wellness tool that lives on your phone and asks for nothing in return — not your account, not your data, not your attention.
EVERYTHING INSIDE
more than a list of words.
a calmer home screen
replaces flashy icons and badges with a clean, monospaced list of app names.
a profile for every moment
work, evening, sleep — switch your launcher as your day changes, with a tap.
launcher widgets
the launcher lives on your home or lock screen; buttons open apps directly.
pause the apps that pull you in
open a paused app and get a calm moment first — a breath, a delay, or a block.
schedules that run themselves
a profile turns on by time of day, including an overnight wind-down.
private by design
everything runs on your device. no account, no ads, no tracking, no SDKs.
SEE IT
work. rest. focus. repeat.
A LETTER FROM THE MAKER
i built dumbphone because my own phone kept winning. i did not want to throw it in a drawer or buy a separate device — i just wanted it to be quiet.
so it is a plain list of words instead of a wall of icons, the apps i actually chose, and a calm pause before the ones that pull me in. it runs entirely on your phone, no ads, nothing leaves your device.
