StayMinimal: Dumb Phone Mode

StayMinimal turns your iPhone into a calm dumb phone: one tap pauses the apps that pull you in, and your Home Screen shrinks to the few you actually need. Pick a mode (Focus, Study, Work or Sleep), choose which apps to pause, and start. StayMinimal uses Apple's Screen Time to pause those apps on your iPhone until the session ends. When you want your phone to stay simple all day, switch on Minimal Mode. No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything you set up stays on your iPhone. MINIMAL MODE (DUMB PHONE MODE) • Essentials only, for as long as you choose. Everything else stays paused until you switch it off or your end time arrives. • A text-only launcher widget for your Home Screen: the time, the date and your essential apps in a clean list. Black in dark mode, paper in light mode. • A step-by-step guide to build a minimalist Home Screen, plus a matching plain wallpaper. FOCUS SESSIONS • Four modes, each with its own app list and length: Focus, Study, Work and Sleep. • Open a paused app and you see a quiet screen with a short quote, not the feed. • Optional strict mode for the days you don't trust yourself. SOUNDS • 16 ambient sounds, including rain, ocean, forest, coffee shop, library, brown noise, lo-fi and calm piano. • Mix up to four layers and save the blend for each mode. SLEEP • A bedtime schedule that pauses distracting apps every night. • Wind down with Sleep mode and your favorite sound. PROGRESS • Streaks, focus hours and a calendar heat-map. • Your Screen Time before and after StayMinimal, worked out privately by iOS on your iPhone. • A share card to post your streak and focus hours. ALL OVER YOUR IPHONE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Control Center toggles and Siri: "Turn on Minimal Mode in StayMinimal". • A smart reminder timed to when you usually focus. • Four themes: Calm Dark, Paper, Midnight and Forest. HOW STAYMINIMAL USES SCREEN TIME StayMinimal uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) framework so you can pause apps on your own iPhone. You give permission once and choose every app yourself. iOS keeps your app list and usage private; StayMinimal cannot read it and never sends it anywhere.
