About
Essentials turns your Home Screen into a calm, simple list of the apps you actually need. No icons, no badges pulling at your attention: just the names, in clean type. Tap a name and the app opens.
FREE
• Your apps as a plain list of names in a widget
• White or Black widgets, with a matching wallpaper so they blend into your Home Screen
• A quiet scene in your Dock: a tree line, a skyline or hills
• Only the word is tappable, so you open what you meant to
• Optional pause before opening an app, to break the habit of opening it without thinking
• Text size, spacing, letter case and alignment
ESSENTIALS PLUS: ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
• Slate, Paper and System colours, and the whole app follows your colour
• Your words in the Dock: write your own lines, with a new one every morning
• More lists: for work, evenings, weekends
• Automatic switching: lists follow your Focus or the time of day
• Companion widgets in the same style: Date, Calendar, Reminders, and Weather powered by Apple Weather
• Every font, weight and text colour
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your lists stay on your iPhone, and the developer never receives your data.
