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. One app on the Lock Screen Add the One app widget beside the clock and reach the app you use most without hunting for it. Pick the app, or let it follow the first app of your current context. Works with Focus and Siri 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. Or say "Switch to Work in Focus Easy", and use the same action in Shortcuts automations. 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. Plain to look at Black type on a pale page, or pale type in Graphite or Black after dark. A single colored dot marks the context you're in, and the icon on your Home Screen takes the same color. A plain wallpaper in the widget's shade lets the list sit straight on the page. Private No account and no ads. Your apps, contexts and counts stay on your iPhone. Anonymous diagnostics, such as crash reports and which screens you open, help fix problems. They never include your apps, contexts or counts, and you can turn them off in Settings. A tip, if you like Focus Easy is free and has nothing to unlock. If it helps you keep your Home Screen quiet, you can leave a one-time tip in Settings: a Dawn, a Morning, a Noon or a Summer. Tips go through the App Store and change nothing in the app.
