This app mitigates my usage by making things not catch the eye. If the desire is there to scroll or hop on something, just seeing words really throws the barrier of "what are you doing? Stop it." Its not perfect but for someone looking to minimize digital interaction without commiting to a dumb phone, it's the perfect middle ground or stepping stone.

Exactly what I needed, coming back from my flip phone to a Jelly. It helps to have that simple layout so I can keep my basic tools on hand without the visual temptation to jump into apps I don't need to bother with on a daily basis. Dumb phones and menus like this help with mental overload and distractions that keep me from getting to a phone task, getting it done, and getting back off that screen.

Great app but not 5 stars only because of inability to keep weather info (Android/Google) on screen. If that widget was the only exception to the minimalist list of aps, this could be a lot more useful. Getting a weather app to pick from its list format, as alternative, is not a workaround either if you don't want to share your data with another app you wouldn't otherwise need if you were able to just enable the already-device-ready widget (Google's).

Hi, showing weather requires using a weather service which is always paid. Showing it for free means paying for it from our own pockets for a million+ users, which indie developers like me cannot afford to do. I hope you understand. Thank you for using Olauncher.
