Dimm is a calmer way to open your apps. Instead of a grid of colorful icons, Dimm gives you a widget that's just words: a clean, text-only list of the apps you actually use. Tap a name and it opens. That's it. Quiet by design. Yours to shape. • TEXT-ONLY WIDGETS: App names, the date, the time, a greeting or your own words. No icons, no badges, no noise. Small, medium and large sizes. • LAUNCH ANYTHING: Pick from a catalog of more than 1,000 apps, or add any app that opens with a link. Tap to open, straight from your Home Screen. • STYLE IT YOUR WAY: Choose the font, color, alignment and spacing. Match your wallpaper, or disappear into it. • IT SWITCHES ITSELF: Put a layout on a schedule or pin one to a Focus, and Dimm shows the right apps for the moment: morning, work, wind-down. • A CALM MAIN SCREEN: Choose a Main Screen layout and opening Dimm shows it full screen, ready to launch from. • PRIVATE BY DEFAULT: No account, no tracking, no analytics. Your layouts and apps never leave your device. Dimm Pro, a one-time purchase, unlocks unlimited layouts, scheduled switching, every font, custom colors, matching wallpapers and a custom launch splash. The free version keeps a starter layout plus one of your own, forever. Calm by design. Private by default. Questions? team@snowyghost.com
