Minimizit is it. ### 5/5 — BESTEST APP EVER *2025-02-19, version 2.0.4* It helps so much that I don’t have to scroll to the next universe to get on Snapchat ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-02-12, version 2.0.1* Simple and effective ### 5/5 — my favorite minimalist launcher app *2025-02-07, version 2.0.1* This app had the most customization options for fonts, additional apps, & sizes! the only feature i'm missing is a fully transparent background (some other apps have it via uploading a screenshot of the current wallpaper). Thanks to the very kind and responsive dev!! ### 5/5 — One of the more intuitive apps! *2025-01-06, version 1.5.2* I have tried a few apps that are centered around making my phone a “dumb“ phone. Most of them do not allow as much user customization as this one. This app is catered to these user down to the detail, with a very responsive developer that made using this app a fantastic experience. I would recommend this app to anyone looking to monitor their own habits and potentially reduce them. ### 5/5 — Great Minimalist Launcher! *2025-01-06, version 1.5.2* This is so fluid and simple.

Apps are not added to list ### 1/5 — Don’t work! *2025-02-12, version 2.0.1* I’m so sorry for you, I really wanted to try this app, but it’s just don’t work! I can’t even open it 🥲 I hope you can fix it soon and get better ### 1/5 — Bugged out *2024-10-11* I paid for a subscription for this App but it constantly isn’t working properly and keeps prompting me to need to purchase a subscription to be able to use it. Very disappointing. **Developer response:** Hi, I’m really sorry to hear about the subscription issues you’ve experienced. While the review shows for the latest version, it’s possible you may still be using an older version of the app where this issue was present. This issue was specifically fixed in version 1.2.1, so please ensure you’re fully updated to the latest version. If the issue persists, don’t hesitate to reach out at minimizitapp@gmail.com or via the support option in the app—I’m here to help and get this resolved for you. ### 2/5 — Stopped working *2025-02-25, version 2.0.4* My app stopped working, can’t open it anymore and I paid for a year subscription. ### 5/5 — BEST APP *2026-06-30, version 2.3.2* This is by far the best minimalist app. You can tell the developer has really thought of the design and interface, very easy to use! 10/10 ### 5/5 — Easy to use and Free enough *2026-06-02, version 2.3.2* Most minimal launchers give a free trail and then require you to pay to use the basic features. This one allows you a very simple but limited free version. Fortunately I only needed to include a handful of apps so this is perfect. If you are looking to list 5+ apps you will need to upgrade. Very happy so far! ### 5/5 — The easiest dumb phone set up! *2026-05-16, version 2.3.2* Love this app, the concept is simple yet powerful to decide which apps you truly want to have access to, minimise your screen time and specially, reduce the automatic impulse to clear those annoying red dots on my phone and use it in a more intentional way. The app includes several changes to the iOS settings to reduce the clutter on your screen. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-11-06, version 2.3.2* Love this it really takes the shiny bobbles away. Monthly price is around the same as my iCloud sub but it’ll add up, I wish there was a one-time purchase option ### 5/5 — Very good alternative to more well known apps *2025-09-12, version 2.3.2* Perfect for what I’m wanting to use it for ### 5/5 — High quality and straightforward *2025-08-12, version 2.3.2* Exactly what you want out of these apps: clean and functional interface, simple to implement. Premium plan is fully optional and extends usage to a larger suite of apps - definitely the best option thus far. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible!! *2025-07-26, version 2.3.2* This app does it all. Set up is easy. Clean, easy workflow. Use this dumb phone app before any others. - I really appreciate how it makes my phone such a boring place to be and the clean look make me avoid clicking on any apps unless I am looking for them. - So worth the small fee of $3/month. - the checklist feature is so helpful! No more losing my paper lists. - the reoccurring task app is such a good reminder tool for checklist items that come every week. Bottom line, this is the best app of its kind. Thank you for helping me get my life organized and time back. My phone is finally a tool, not a burden. ### 5/5 — just what i needed!! *2025-07-20, version 2.3.2* idk yall this app just scratches an itch in my brain when it comes to app design. everything is so intuitive. the set-up process is really seamless and they do a fantastic job coaching you through any snags. if you have a question, they have an answer ready and accessible. overall super impressed!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-04-23, version 2.3.0* Love the design of this one over others. Perfectly flexible and fits in with my other changes made to my phone as well. ### 5/5 — My favorite app of all time *2025-03-30* Good minimal and free --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
