Focus Easy vs Quiet

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, no ads, no analytics and no network. Your apps, contexts and counts stay on your iPhone.

Quiet turns your iPhone into a calmer phone. Your Home Screen becomes a short list of names instead of a grid of bright icons, and the apps that pull you in get a breathing pause before they open. A LIST, NOT A GRID • Pick the few apps you want within reach: they appear as a clean text list in Quiet and in the Quiet widget. • Tap a name in the widget and the app opens directly, with no detour through Quiet. • Choose from the apps on your iPhone, search for more, or add any other app with a shortcut. • Small, medium or large text; left, center or right. Names in one size, evenly spaced. • The time and date above your names, if you like, and a line saying what is paused until when. QUIET WIDGETS • Clock: the time, the date with a calendar, a dial, the time in words, or the time with your next event. • Calendar: the date and what comes next, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. • Progress: today, the month, the year or the next 40 years, in dots. • Weather: now, hourly, the week, or one sentence, from Apple Weather. • A Widgets tab shows every widget and how to add it. • Black, white, your phone's look, a warm grey, or a plain wallpaper from Quiet that the widget melts into. A BREATH BEFORE THE FEED • Choose the apps to slow down with Apple's Screen Time. • When you open one, Quiet asks you to take a breath first. Then you decide: close it, or go on to the app. • Breathe First: a moment, 15 seconds, or as long as you choose, up to 3 minutes. Then the app stays open for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. • Never: the app stays off during the hours you choose. • Pause profiles: Evenings, Sleep, Work Time or your own, each with its apps, hours and strictness. • What for? Before you go through, Quiet asks why: reply to someone, something specific, bored, habit. Your answers show up in your report. • Pause for an Hour from Control Center, Siri or Shortcuts, and a Focus filter that turns the pause on with your Focus. • Rules for apps: give any app its own breath, Never, or its own daily limit. • A heads-up a minute before an app closes again. • "The pause is working": Quiet checks itself and puts Screen Time right in one tap. STRICT MODE • Loosening any rule takes a 30-second breath, and during your Never hours the rules hold until the hours end. • Cap Open Anyway at 3, 5 or 10 a day; after that, the apps wait until tomorrow. • Optionally, keep apps from being deleted while Strict Mode is on. THE HOURS YOU GET BACK • Every week Quiet compares your screen time with your usual day before Quiet: "9 h back this week. That's 2 evenings." • A plain count of the times you went past the pause, by day and by app, and what for. Facts, not verdicts. • Your trend, week by week: the hours back and how often the pause came up. • A streak of days within your goal, with a month calendar. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your Screen Time data never leaves your iPhone. Apple's frameworks keep it on the device, and Quiet has no account and no server of its own. • No ads. HONEST PRICING • Free: your text list, the list widget on black and a pause for one app. • Quiet subscription: every widget and background, longer breaths, Never, profiles, rules for apps, Strict Mode, any number of apps, the honesty report, the streak and the trend. • Yearly or monthly with a 3-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The paywall shows the exact amount and the date of the first charge, and Quiet reminds you the day before your trial ends. • If you cancel, nothing on your phone gets locked: your list and your calls stay exactly where they are.
