Focus Easy is a quiet launcher for iPhone. Pick the few apps you need, give them a page of their own, and open each with one tap. No badges, no icons calling for you, no account. Your apps in plain type The launcher shows your apps as big, plain names. Tap one and it opens. That's the whole idea. Contexts for your day Make a set of apps for each part of your day, such as Everyday, Work and Evening, and switch between them in a tap. Focus Easy can suggest the one that fits the time of day. A widget for a quieter Home Screen Put the Focus Easy widget on a Home Screen page of its own, in small, medium or large. Each widget follows your current context or shows one you pick. Works with Focus Pair the widget's page with an iOS Focus, and it's the only page you see while that Focus is on. Add the Focus Easy filter to a Focus, and Focus Easy switches to the right context, then back again after. Any app Add the apps on your iPhone in a tap. Apps with no link, such as Phone or Camera, open through a shortcut you make once in the Shortcuts app, and Focus Easy shows you how. See what you reach for Usage counts the apps you open through Focus Easy over the last week. It doesn't read Screen Time, and the counts stay on your iPhone. Calm by design Ink on paper, in Light, Graphite or Black, with one accent that marks the context you're in. The accent also sets the app icon. A matching plain wallpaper lets the widget melt into its page. Private No account, no ads, no analytics and no network. Your apps, contexts and counts stay on your iPhone.
