## What is Kelso?

Turn your iPhone into a phone again.
Kelso transforms your iPhone into a distraction-free, minimalist experience, so you use your phone with intention, not impulse.

Replace addictive app icons, notification badges, and dopamine triggers with a clean, simple launcher that shows only what you actually need.

KEY FEATURES

Break the scroll loop
Every unlock shows only your essential apps, no colorful distractions, no App Library rabbit holes. Just your phone, working for you.

Build your Minimalist Launcher
Add Kelso widgets to your Home Screen for a seamless, clutter-free setup that actually feels calm to look at.

Choose what stays
Pick the apps that matter. Everything else fades into the background, one tap away when you need it, invisible when you don't.

Make it yours
Light or dark mode, custom wallpapers, text styles and themes. A phone that looks as clean as it feels.

Detox Mode
Block and hide non-essential apps using Screen Time's powerful engine. Your rules. Your focus.

Context-aware launchers
Create separate launchers for work, leisure, and night time. The right apps, at the right moment.

Control Center shortcuts
Switch launchers instantly from Control Center. No digging, no friction.

Less phone. More life.
Download Kelso and reclaim your attention.
