Classic Launcher: Simple Phone

Make your Android phone simpler, easier to read and less distracting.

Classic Phone Launcher is a minimalist launcher with large buttons, T9 search, Senior Mode, Kid Mode, Focus Mode, speed dial and emergency shortcuts.

GET STARTED

1. Open the app and choose Classic, Senior, Kid or Focus Mode.
2. Allow Contacts only if you want contact shortcuts and favourites.
3. Follow Default Launcher Setup and select Classic Phone Launcher as your Home app.
4. Use the bottom Back, Home and Apps controls to move around the launcher.

NAVIGATE YOUR PHONE

• Home returns to your current launcher profile.
• Apps opens the searchable app drawer with installed applications.
• Call opens phone actions for quick dialing.
• Contacts shows contacts stored on your device.
• Favourites manages speed-dial shortcuts.
• SOS opens the emergency confirmation screen.
• T9 Search lets you find apps using classic phone keypad letters.
• Settings opens profiles, language, privacy and launcher setup.

CHOOSE AND CHANGE A LAUNCHER MODE

Open Settings → Manage profiles, then select a profile:

• Classic Mode provides familiar controls for daily use.
• Senior Mode offers extra-large buttons, readable text and high contrast.
• Kid Mode uses a caregiver PIN and a selected-app allowlist.
• Focus Mode provides a distraction-free launcher, schedules and a local focus timer.

Editing a profile does not activate it automatically. Select the profile you want to use from Manage profiles.

CUSTOMIZE EVERY PROFILE

Go to Settings → Manage profiles → choose Classic, Senior, Kid or Focus. From the profile dashboard:

• Theme changes colors and home-screen layout.
• Apps chooses visible apps or the Kid/Focus allowed-app list.
• Behavior changes profile options such as text size, battery display, keypad sound and call confirmation when supported.

The Minimal layout shows a clean clock, battery and essential-app list.

KID MODE AND APP BLOCKING

1. Open Settings → Safety & privacy → Caregiver access and App Blocking.
2. Create a caregiver PIN.
3. Open Manage profiles → Kid → Apps and choose allowed apps.
4. Enable Kid protection if needed.
5. Follow the clear disclosure before optionally enabling the service in Android Accessibility Settings.

Optional Accessibility-assisted blocking checks only which app package enters the foreground. If it is not allowed, the launcher returns to Home. It does not read screen text, messages or typed content. Android limits consumer launchers, so blocking is best-effort rather than an absolute kiosk guarantee.

FOCUS MODE AND TIMER

Open Manage profiles → Focus to choose essential apps and protection options. Use Focus Schedule to set automatic focus periods. Open Focus Timer to start a local digital-detox session. Return to the profile dashboard to change or disable these options.

EMERGENCY, LANGUAGE AND PRIVACY

• Emergency: Settings → Emergency and SOS.
• Language: Settings → Language, then choose system default or a supported language.
• Analytics: Settings → Share usage analytics to turn collection on or off.
• Privacy details: Settings → Privacy and about.
• Change launcher: Settings → Default launcher.
• Leave the launcher: open Help and feedback for instructions on selecting another Home app.

PRIVACY-FRIENDLY AND ACCESSIBLE

Contacts, favourites, PIN settings and launcher preferences stay on your device. Classic Phone Launcher does not create an account or upload your contacts. Kid Mode disables ads and analytics collection. Contacts and notifications permissions are optional.

PREMIUM

An optional one-time Premium purchase removes ads and unlocks premium themes. Core Android launcher, calling, contacts, SOS, Senior Mode, Kid Mode, Focus Mode and accessibility features remain available without a subscription.

Make your smartphone simple again with a classic phone launcher designed for seniors, families, focus, accessibility and everyday productivity.
