Overview
A minimalist Android home-screen launcher built around intentional phone use — replacing app icons and notification clutter with a clean, text-only interface.
What I built
- A text-only home screen replacement with a large clock/date display
- Up to 20 pinned favourite apps as text labels, organized into folders
- Full app list on swipe-up with instant search, filtering, and sorting
- Sticky notes with optional reminder notifications
- Countdown timers, a to-do list, and daily habit tracking on the home screen
- On-device 7-day stats view for habit/to-do completion (no data uploaded)
- Focus mode with a distraction pause before opening flagged apps
- Biometric app-locking, daily unlock count, screen-time awareness
- 7 themes including true AMOLED black
- Full backup/restore as a single file
Technical notes
Fully on-device — no analytics, ads, or tracking. The only optional network call is for the weather line, which is off by default.
Outcome
Published to the Google Play Store under Nesture Labs.
