Hearth: Minimalist Launcher

Hearth is a minimalist launcher for Android: a calm, cozy home screen that helps you cut screen time without a strict digital detox. It swaps pages of icons for a clean list of the apps you actually need, then adds a little magic for the season: soft snow, twinkling Christmas lights and a countdown to the big day.

A CALMER HOME SCREEN
• Big clock, date and your favourite apps as simple text. No icon clutter, no badges shouting for attention
• Swipe up for every app with instant search. Type two letters and the app opens
• Swipe down for notifications, left and right for camera and phone (or any app you choose)
• Hold an app to rename it, hide it or give it a mindful pause
• Works with work profiles

SEASONS THAT FEEL LIKE HOME
• Hearth: pine green, candlelight, soft falling snow and a garland of twinkling lights
• A countdown under the date: "13 days until Christmas", then "4 days until New Year"
• Pumpkin for Halloween with a harvest moon, bats and fireflies
• Frost, Cocoa, Harvest, Midnight fireworks, Sakura petals, Rosé hearts, Terminal
• Ink and Paper when you just want black and white
• Hearth Pro can switch themes with the seasons, all by itself

MINDFUL, NOT PREACHY
• Add a mindful pause to the apps that steal your time. Opening one starts with a short breathing circle and asks how long you want to stay
• Choose 5, 15 or 30 minutes and Hearth sends a gentle note when your time is up
• See how many times you opened it today, and your total screen time on the home screen if you like

LIGHT ON YOUR BATTERY AND YOUR PRIVACY
• Effects only run while you're looking at the home screen, and rest on battery saver
• No ads, no account, no analytics, no tracking. Your settings never leave your phone
• Optional features (screen time, notification dots) are off until you turn them on
