Focus Launcher
Home screen
* The clock and one section next to it (your next events, or today's screen time), with a single line between them. A ring that shows the battery, or a plain clock, are one setting away.
* Up to five apps, as words. Phone and camera in the corners.
* Tap the clock to open an app of your choice. Long-press almost anything to change it.
Every app, one swipe away
* A plain list with a search that understands names, initials and typos.
* Apps installed in the last 24 hours sit on top.
* Sort A to Z, by most used or by most recent. With a work profile, personal and work apps get their own tabs.
* Rename apps, hide them, pin them to the home screen.
Limits that hold
* Social media apps and games get a daily allowance (30 minutes by default). Any other app can have one too. Mail, browsers and messengers are never limited automatically.
* When the time is used up the app locks. You can still get in, but only after a pause and only by saying so, and Focus keeps asking before every visit for the rest of the day.
* How often you went past a limit is counted and shown back to you.
A weekly look back
* Once a week, one screen: how long, which apps, what time of day, how often you pushed past a limit. Then a single question, and one line to write for next week.
Private by construction
* No internet permission: nothing can leave the phone. No account, no ads, no analytics.
* Usage access is used to count screen time. The optional accessibility service only learns which app is in front, so that it can lock it; it cannot read the screen.
* Calendar access is optional and only used to show your next events.
