@kjosephabraham Hey. Few basic features were requested to bring it to parity with competitors.
But users really enjoyed the widgets - "Years left to live", "Day/ Year in progress" and "Daily quote".
Here is the roadmap incase you are interested - https://insigh.to/b/lite-minimal...
@owenfar I wanted to price it at a rate, I would be comfortable buying it myself. š
Congrats to the Lite team on the launch! This looks like a sleek and efficient way to streamline app access. Are there any customization options for how the launcher looks or functions?
@vietpham Hey. Yes totally!
You can change the font, text size, number of apps, color, spacing, etc. It will give a real time preview of how the widget would look.
@tinypixel_ Just love this! š Finally an app that wonāt suck us into the black hole of endless scrolling. For the price of a coffee someone can reclaim their life! ā
Great work, Himanshu!
@shadmannazim Thank you.
Yes that was the idea behind the pricing.
Should be a no-brainer to buy it if someone sees value.
This idea is interesting. Minimizing the apps on my phone can reduce the time I spend on them and save me time, but I think there's a problem: if I'm addicted to one app, I will quickly find it anyway.
@sebastean_wu Lol true. If its somewhere there on the phone, then there is no getting away.
Try uninstalling the app for 30 days if possible. Would be a good detox.
Hey Himanshu,
would it be possible to make apps open right away without opening firstly Lite for couple seconds?
@illia_kyrychenko1 Hey. Currently it is not possible.
A widget can only open its app first, post which any next action can be done.
In our case, it opens the Lite app before redirecting to the launched app.
However if you turn on "Reduce motion" and "Prefer Cross-fade animations", this tends to look better.
I understand its not a very launcher thing to do, but gotta play within the rules of the Apple ecosystem.
@tinypixel_ yeah I got that there a problem from apple side, so no problem, thanks for open response, have a nice journey)
Lite sounds like a fantastic solution for those wanting to reduce distractions without ditching their smartphones! Love the affordable price and the focus on reclaiming time for meaningful activities. Great job, @tinypixel_

@klar_braune Thank you.
Lowering the barrier for more people to join the digital detox movement.
Great idea, I think lots of people would benefit from a cleaner screen to launch apps from. Keep up the good work.
@marcus_friberg Thank you.
Wanted to give this same feeling of relief to others.
Launching soon!
@tinypixel_ congratulations on your launch. what was the motive behind this app launcher?
@star_boat I know right!!
Unlock the phone to check time, and 1 hour later you realise you haven't seen the time yet.
Let me know how it goes for you.
hey @tinypixel_, kudos on the launch of Lite; minimalism is having a moment and you're on the pulse with it. even without using it, i can tell itās cleverly thought-out and priced just right, noting the balance amidst the sea of pricey competitors.
@abhaytalreja Thank you.
Money shouldn't come in the way of becoming a digital minimalist.
Hey Himanshu,
I'm curious about how you decide which apps to include in the launcher. Is it completely user-customizable, or do you offer suggestions based on usage patterns?
It might be interesting to add an optional feature that tracks and visualizes the user's screen time reduction over time. Have you considered something like that?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Hey.
If a user is unable to find their app among the 200+ listed, they have the option to search for and add a custom app directly from the App Store within the app.
We track this on mixpanel - to see which apps people couldn't find, and add that to the supported apps by the end of the day. (That's almost 5-10 apps on a daily basis š
)
On visualising screen time - that's a great idea. I should create a widget out of it probably.
That's a fantastic idea! A minimal app launcher for iPhone sounds both sleek and efficient, perfect for streamlining the user experience. It's interesting how simplifying access can significantly enhance usability and aesthetic appeal. Keep exploring this concept; it has the potential to really resonate with users looking for simplicity in tech. Well thought out!
@borja_diazroig No. not yet. I think screen time and number of phone pick ups would be a good comparison.
Planning to add that as a widget to visualise and see the trend before and after.
@ayush_tomar2 Yup. Totally agree!
Self control has become a myth as more and more addictive apps are being launched.
