A life changer It dawned on me recently that my phone's main screen looked like a gaming platform with weird distracting colourful icons. I'm not a youngster, I want a phone that's practical, under my rule, I love that I can rename apps via their function, change Waze to Navigate for example... I add categories after some app names, e.g. games, so by they all appear in a search. The search option to open apps is great. I will gladly donate, but this is free and no ads. Functions perfectly.

At first the minimal interface felt jarring. The transition from bright lights to monochrome and the absence of icons took some getting used to. However, as I have adapted to it, I found that it made me more intentional about my phone usage. I only see the notifications when I check for them, not a barrage as happened previously. Thank you for your great work!

Nice UI, the best minimalist UI I have used so far. But there needs to be an option to "skip" to a new background. The random daily backgrounds are really cool, and very good quality pics, but sometimes you get a really bad one, or one that I don't want to be stuck looking at for the whole day. This app would be 5 stars if there was an option to skip the current background and have another randomly selected

Thank you for your input. That sounds like an interesting feature to implement once I have the resources to do it. Due to the fact that for now this is a one man project, I do not have the capacity to explore this as I need to focus on other more crucial projects. This is the best I can do for free. I hope you understand. Have a great day!
