SELECT is a hyper-minimalist launcher app designed to free you from home-screen information overload and "choice fatigue". It was built to reduce cognitive load and improve daily efficiency for people with ADHD and anyone losing time to app hunting or notification surfing. ■ Why "minimalist"? The average iPhone home screen has 80+ apps lined up. "Wait, where was that one?" "I tried to open this, but got distracted by something else..." These "tiny decision fatigues that happen every time you look" quietly chip away at a day's worth of focus. SELECT solves this by surfacing only the apps you actually need right now in a widget, so you can: ・stop hunting ・stop hesitating ・stop having unnecessary icons enter your visual field ■ Designed around ADHD cognitive patterns The developer is openly an ADHD-diagnosed person and built this for their own daily-life ergonomics first. Individual experiences vary, but ADHD users and their families have found the following points especially helpful: ・Limited choices: each tab shows only the "do-it-now" apps, capping information processed at one glance ・Mode switching: switch entire app sets per situation ("Out", "Work", "Night"), making it possible to physically hide social apps during focus time ・Minimal app-to-app jump: tile tap routes directly to the target app via Shortcuts — SELECT itself never appears on screen ・Text mode: hide icons entirely for a pure text list, cutting visual noise even further * ADHD is a medical diagnosis. This app is not intended as treatment. It is positioned as a daily-life efficiency aid for users who self-identify with these traits. ■ 5 tabs to organise life scenes ・Receive: things that come to you (email, messages) ・Record: things you write or save (notes, photos, calendar) ・Communicate: things you broadcast (social, calls) ・Settings: device and service preferences ・Enjoy: entertainment (video, music, games) Create a mode that hides the "Enjoy" tab to fully shut out distractions during work hours. ■ Key features 【One-tap launch】 Tap a tile and the target app opens directly — SELECT never gets in the way. 【Bulk operations】 Select multiple items → Delete / Move / Copy. Drag-to-select works the same way as Apple's Files app. 【Per-mode display preferences】 Each mode owns its own "show app icons" and "hide Enjoy tab" toggles. Focus mode and leisure mode become fully separable. ・Light / Dark / Match-device widget colour ・Designed to remain readable under iOS 18's "Tinted" Home Screen mode ・App artwork keeps its original colour even when the system tint is applied ・Multiple modes (scene-specific home screens) ・Sub-categories (folders) ・iCloud sync (auto-syncs across your Apple devices) ■ Best for ・People overwhelmed by too many apps on the home screen ・ADHD users who struggle with searching or get distracted easily ・Anyone who wants to hide social media from view during focus time ・People who switch app sets between scenes (Out / Work / Night, etc.) ・Minimalist or digital-minimalism enthusiasts ■ Pricing ・All features are free to use ・Ads appear below the editor and when you switch tabs ・Buy "Remove Ads" once to stop seeing ads (not a subscription) ・If you got the app while it was paid, you won't see ads ■ Languages Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic ■ Privacy ・No account needed. Your lineups are stored on your device and in iCloud (if you use sync) ・Firebase Authentication (anonymous) is used to count users, and Google Mobile Ads to show ads ・No analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) ■ Requirements iOS 17.0 or later, iPhone / iPad (Large home-screen widget supported).

Made for people who live in their calendar and think faster than they tap. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add in one line — "dentist tuesday at 3pm", "lunch at noon", "gym friday 7am" • Let it find the time — "block 2 hours of deep work friday" takes your first free gap • Change things in plain words — push it later, move it, make it shorter, rename it • Clear a stretch — "clear friday afternoon" empties it in one step • Undo anything — every change reverses instantly; deletes ask first • Save your usuals — define "gym" once, then just type "gym fri" • Keep a todo list — "todo buy milk" adds it, "todo! call landlord" puts it first, "done buy milk" ticks it off • Your week on the lock screen — a Shortcut draws the week's events and your todos onto your wallpaper • Quick Add widget — open straight into the command bar from your lock screen • Type or speak it PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your calendar stays on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProUser at none against SELECT's 2. ProUser also leads on ads (none vs shown). SELECT's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
