Stop opening apps on autopilot. A calm text home screen with hold-to-open pause.
Ever unlock your phone to check one thing and look up 40 minutes later? Hushome is a dumbphone launcher that makes your home screen calm again.
Your essential apps stay one tap away, written as plain text. No icons, no red badges, no colors pulling at your attention. Everything else waits behind a small square. To open it, you hold the square for 20 seconds. While you hold, a line fills around the square and a countdown asks one question: do you really need it now?
Let go, and Hushome counts one impulse skipped. Keep holding, and all your apps open as usual. Nothing is blocked. You stay in control, you just get a moment to think first.
WHAT YOU GET
• A minimalist text home screen: clock, date, battery and up to 7 essential apps
• Hold-to-open barrier with a visible countdown (5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds)
• A count of impulses skipped today and this week
• A home screen widget for today's count, if you keep a second launcher page
• Share your week as a clean paper-style card
• Paper (light) and Ink (dark) themes
BUILT TO BE TRUSTED
• No blocking and no Accessibility service. Your keyboard, camera and work apps always work.
• No usage-access or notification-access permissions
• Switch back to your previous home screen in one tap, any time. Uninstalling works like any other app.
• Every feature is free. No account, and your data never leaves your phone.
• Work profile and dual (clone) apps show up in your app list
HOW PEOPLE USE IT
Set it as your default home app, pick the few apps you truly need (phone, messages, maps, your bus ticket), and live with it for a week. Many people see their screen time drop because the distracting apps are simply out of sight.
A calm dumb phone experience without buying a second device. Digital minimalism and digital detox, on the phone you already have.
Hushome shows ads only inside its own dashboard and settings screens, never on your home screen.
