“Clarity comes when you focus on less

In a world full of distractions, it’s getting harder to stay focused. Our phones can often be a major source of these distractions, but can we use them to be less distracting? Could it be possible for our phones to be less distracting?

Well, I want to introduce you to the Flow Minimalist Launcher, a less-distracting app designed to help you stay more focused. This app is available both on iOS and Android. In this review, I will discuss its unique features and how it can help you with your daily tasks and boost your productivity.

The Features

Focus Mode

The Focus Mode is a game-changer. When you tap on it, a menu appears, allowing you to set a focus time of 25 minutes, 45 minutes, or 1 hour. During this period, the swipe-up gesture to access the app drawer is disabled, minimizing distractions. However, it’s worth noting that you can easily stop the timer, which might tempt you to stray from your task. So, think twice before hitting that stop button.

To-Do List Widget

If you’re like me and need to keep track of daily tasks, the to-do list widget is really handy. You can quickly jot down your important tasks for today or tomorrow, and they’ll be right on the ‘My Feed’ page of the home screen. You can swipe it on the left side if you want to clear the list. Yes, It’s very simple and effective way to stay organized.

Digital Detox

This feature was a personal request of mine, and I’m excited to see it in the app. Digital Detox helps you be more mindful of your app usage. When you open a distracting apps, a 5 to 10-second animation pops up, prompting you to pause and think about whether you really need to open that app. It’s a simple but effective way to stop mindless scrolling.

Screen Time

Keeping track of how much time you spend on your device is important, and Flow Minimalist Launcher makes it easy. The screen time feature shows you today’s usage compared to yesterday’s, giving you a clear view of your habits. It’s a gentle reminder to help you stay aware of your screen time.

Hide Apps and Hide App Icons

You can also hide distracting apps in the Customization Settings of the launcher. Plus, if you want to hide the app icon on the home screen, you can do that too. Isn’t that cool? 

Other Features

You can explore more features once you install the app, like customizing icons, editing favorites from the home screen, and more. Since it’s designed to help us stay more focused, you might want to support the developer by getting the premium version. The great thing is you can pay for a lifetime subscription.

Conclusion and Recommendation

The Flow Minimalist Launcher is beautifully designed, and I really loved its (UI) user interface. You can see the attention to detail, and it’s obvious a lot of thought went into how users interact with it. They’re also open to suggestions for future features, which is great.

If you’re looking for a launcher that not only looks good but also helps you stay focused and productive, I highly recommend giving Flow Minimalist Launcher a try. 

Again, big thank you to the developer of this app, Ankit
