What is Haven: Minimalist Launcher?
At the gym, social media disappears. After 9pm, only calls get through. When temptation strikes, opening a blocked app takes 100 deliberate taps.
You didn't set a timer. You didn't remember to turn on a mode. Haven just adapted.
Haven is a free Android launcher that replaces your icon grid with a plain text app list — no icons, no badges, no color. The environment changes automatically based on where you are and what time it is. Distractions require real effort to access.
KEY FEATURES:
🛑 100-Tap Friction Gate
Blocked apps don't lock — they require 100 taps to open. Enough of a pause to make the impulse conscious. Not enough to feel like a punishment.
🛡? Focus Havens
Custom zones that automatically filter your apps by location or time. Set it once. It runs quietly in the background.
• Location Havens: At the office, library, or gym — distracting apps simply aren't there. • Time Havens: Deep work hours, study blocks, sleep — the phone matches your context.
🧠 Text-Only Home Screen
No icon grid. No notification dots. Just your apps, listed by name. Nothing designed to grab your attention.
🔒 Privacy First
Location and usage data never leave your device. Ever.
📊 Screen Time Tracker
See your daily usage directly on your home screen.
🗂? Widgets That Work For You
Weather, time, screen time — above your app list. Information you actually need, nothing to mindlessly tap.
Turn your phone into a tool, not a trap.
Free. No ads. No catch.
Perfect for: ADHD, students, professionals, digital minimalists.
