Barephone is a minimal launcher for Android that lets you see only the apps that you choose. Select just 5 apps to see on the home screen and choose a few additional apps in the app drawer. It lets you hide all the distracting apps and make it a little harder for you to open them. It has a dark theme too!
Hello Product Hunt 👋
I'm a 14 year old developer and this is the first Android app that I'm publishing on the Play Store.
Do try it out! I look forward for your comments and suggestions 😊
@anharx Nice concept BUT i just downloaded it and have the following to say:
- the 5 icons are not centered or even spaced evenly on my phone (Galaxy Note 9), no idea why
- icons a bit too small on large screens (they should be resizable IMO)
- I cannot add the "dialer/phone" app. It does not show up in the app list.
- no icons in the app drawer is a big negative for me since it takes me longer to find the app I'm looking for (icon = instant recognition.) I was thinking this would be a cool launcher for my grandma but without icons, it would be pretty useless
Not meaning to sound harsh by saying any of this, just my honest feedback, hope it's useful!
@anna_0x Thank you for trying out Barephone and for your detailed feedback.
This is a really early version and I'll definitely keep working on improving it by including these suggestions.
