seriously... just because there's something out there more expensive it doesn't make this is reasonably priced. you're literally paying an app to tell you how to use your phone. you're paying for a service that every single brain is more than capable of doing without forking money over to a stranger. are you employed there because thats a FUCKING RIDICULOUS TAKE ON THE MATTER?

@minimalistphone Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your feedback - there are some very affordable options, e.g. 1year of full version for roughly the price of one lunch (depending on your location). Considering the time you save by not being on your phone this is extremely good value. Also, minimalist phone is more than a launcher - it has several features to reduce the screen time - such as in-app time reminder, app blocking and hiding, notification filter and a monochrome mode.

Hello there! Unfortunately this does work for most of the people. Sure you will then have no addictive apps on your phone, but you will miss all the useful apps such as your favorite messanger, maps, spotify and so one. This makes most people eventually go back to smartphone. Also if you install minimalist phone instead of buying another phone you don't produce any new electronic trash.
