3 screens with everything you need on unlock. No more endless switching between apps, use social media less and supercharge your productivity.

Hey Product Hunters, we are really excited to launch and share Ratio with you! We have been working hard the past couple of months with our outstanding community and beta testers (you guys are amazing) to finally deliver it to you as well! Ratio is a minimal and distraction free Android launcher that is aiming to boost your productivity and clear up cluttered mobile screens. The same screen that is seeking your attention and time 5 hours a day. Imagine if Superhuman and WeChat had a baby :) My cofounder @mladen_hoyss1 and I started tinkering with Android home screens with one mission, to help people use their phone less without compromises. We see smartphone hazing / excessive use of social media as one of the most severe problems in our social lives. Consumer apps incentivised by eyeball economics have mastered the art of indulging us on their screens beyond whats useful or healthy. We find measures to block, ration or shame usage as extreme and unfruitful. We believe there could be an alternative; social media and smartphones can offer amazing connectivity and social life if used and accessed well. We at Blloc believe in merging mindful UX and minimal UI design into our product so you can get to be the best version of yourself. And this is why we created Ratio. As long-standing iOS users we saw an opportunity in the flexibility of Android to build the perfect mobile experience: a clean UI, no distraction, no time wasted and getting stuff done fast. Ratio consists of 3 essential screens designed to give you what you need at a glance: Information, Apps and Messaging. - Access core functionalities on unlock - The Root 🌥 Weather 📝 Notes 🗓 Calendar 📰 News 📹 Youtube 🎧 Spotify and more... - Your app drawers - The Tiles A new and calmer way to organise your apps and find them easier. Every app shows usage time under the title to give you quick awareness of time spent and help you build positive habits. - A messaging hub - The Tree 65% of phone usage is messaging. A lot of Social networks utilise messages to get you back on their endless feeds. We extract and aggregate messages from all platforms into one screen, giving you control and connectivity without dependancy. The tree will save you the tedious time you spend switching between apps to check and reply to messages. We fully integrated with our API independent solution sending and receiving text and media on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger. We have SMS (launching soon), Twitter, discord and Slack in the pipeline.

@mladen_hoyss1 @adhambad @saalex Thanks Samuel, let us know how it goes, and some onboarding tips : http://howto.blloc.com/

@mladen_hoyss1 @adhambad Congratulations on the launch! It looks and feels great.

@adhambad @vukicevic Thanks a bunch Vlad! 🚀

@mladen_hoyss1 @adhambad Reads like a dream, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with my mobile -- a Huawei P20 Lite. Any idea why?

What's not to love: It works brilliantly; feels clean, minimalistic and focused; looks awesome, and has features that are nowhere else (such as the much anticipated tree which is apparently coming out tonight (at the time of me writing this)) As a software developer, I'm looking forward to the release of the SDK which will allow me to make custom cards, but the ones they have are already useful and well-implemented. Good job Blloc.

@minion3665 Thanks for the support and stay tuned for the SDK! 😁

@minion3665 thanks a lot 🙏

I've started using Blloc Ratio in May & downloaded the APK & right away it was visible that the product shows immense promise. I've played with it for a bit & sadly deleted it after a couple of weeks but just downloaded it again today and it's the bomb! The progress is incredible, Root & Tree are much improved since my last visit, the auto-categorizing is amazing & don't get me started on all the customization options. I would like to see the BllocDesk app return in the future & maybe add support for multiple search engines (I'm a DDG user in general) but for now all good - continue with the great work guys! 💪

@blendorwhat wow that is such a heartwarming thing to read, thanks a lot on behalf of the entire team 🙏 For now we are 100% focused on Ratio itself, making the Root richer, the Tiles more productive friendly and the Tree as functional as possible, on top of improving the overall app's performance. If you want to catch up with everything that changes in each update, everything is listed in Ratio Settings if you press the version number, as well as here: www.blloc.com/updates

@blendorwhat we actually really believe in BllocDesk and closing the full circle on a productive experience on the laptop as well. We have all the mechanics in place to re-launch pretty quickly, but as we went for Electron on building it, it was a but of a struggle to have it work stable and consistent that we decided to focus our resources on Ratio 4. This will change soon and integrating the Tree upwards to a desktop is super trivial compared to the other way around ;)
