Your social apps stay locked each day until you phone someone you care about
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
A free way to make your phone duller on purpose, with app timers and a weekly review, and no network access to worry about.
Focus is an open-source Android launcher that replaces icons and colour with black-and-white text. The home screen shows a clock, calendar and five chosen apps; social media and games get timers, 30 minutes by default; a weekly review shows where your screen time went. It supports work profiles, has optional music controls and notes, and declares no internet permission. GPL-3.0, Android 8 and up, installed as a 1.3 MB APK. Made by Chaitany Patel.
