Description
Reclaim Your Focus. Simplify Your Life.
Drowning in a sea of colorful icons and constant notifications? MINIMAA is a minimalist launcher that turns your smartphone into a tool for intentional living instead of a distraction machine — inspired by digital minimalism and the "dumbphone" movement, without giving up your smartphone.
Trusted by 12,000+ users who've swapped a cluttered home screen for a calm, distraction-free one.
🌑 WHY A MINIMALIST LAUNCHER? Most launchers are built to keep you scrolling. MINIMAA is built to help you stop. By replacing colorful icon grids with a clean, text-based interface, it removes the visual triggers that drive mindless phone checking — so picking up your phone becomes a choice, not a habit.
🚀 KEY FEATURES • Minimalist Black & White Interface — an inky, OLED-optimized design that saves battery and reduces eye strain • Text-Based App Drawer — navigate by name, not icon clutter, with fast search and alphabet scroll • App Blocker & Digital Detox Tools — hide distracting apps, block distracting websites, and add friction before opening them • Focus Tools — a built-in Pomodoro timer and guided mindfulness breaks • Customizable Home Styles — five distinct layouts, from a bare clock to a full widget dashboard • Privacy-First by Design — zero ads, zero trackers, zero data collection; everything runs offline, on your device • Lightweight & Fast — a tiny footprint with no lag, even on older phones • One-Time Purchase — no subscription, ever
🧠BUILT FOR • Digital minimalists looking for a calmer, more intentional phone • People managing ADHD, autism, or sensory overload who find a low-stimulation screen easier to focus with • Anyone doing a digital detox or trying to cut phone/social media addiction • Productivity-minded users who want to spend less time searching and more time doing
Download MINIMAA and start your digital detox today.

Accessibility Service API Usage
MINIMAA includes optional features—Focus & Gestures (App & Web Blocking, navigation shortcuts, and Double Tap to Lock)—that utilize Android's Accessibility Service API.
When enabled, this service performs the following functions: • Web Detox & App Blocking: Reads the active application package name and browser URL address bar in real-time to detect when a user-defined distracting app or website is opened and displays a focus prompt to block access. • Navigation & System Actions: Receives gesture triggers (like double-tapping on the home screen or executing motion shortcuts) to perform corresponding system actions, such as locking your screen or going Back/Home.
Privacy and Data Safety: • No Data Collection: The service only reads the active app package name and the browser's address bar to determine if a block is triggered. It does not record keystrokes, personal details, or other screen content. • No Data Transmission: No accessed data is stored, collected, or transmitted. All processing happens locally on your device. • Fully Optional: These features are completely optional. The Accessibility Service is not enabled by default and can be turned off at any time in Android system settings.
MINIMAA is not an accessibility tool for users with disabilities.

Comments on MINIMAA: Minimalist Launcher for Android
★★★★★J Guthery· Aug 16, 2026
The only new launcher of consequence I have come across in the last 10 years. I've used alternative launchers on Android since 2012. There are three that stuck out for me. Nova, no longer an option. Smart launcher and Niagara, full paid version for years. Minimaa has now taken over the home screen of my s25fe Galaxy. Beautiful work, Dev! Would love to see alphabet on screen at all times as option. With adjustable text and brightness/opacity. Keep up the amazing work and simplicity!

Love it for what it provides as a minimalist launcher. It felt easy to switch from traditional launcher. Only request I have is to add a favorites section to the app drawer, so I wouldn't need to scroll to the bottom to open certain apps, or to quickly get to apps that I can't fit on the home screen

It just gets stuck on the setup page for me. Pixel 10 pro. No option to refund the app even though it's broken. Shame would have liked to try it :(

To download MINIMAA you must pay a small one-off fee, but once you have installed MINIMAA you find yourself prompted to choose one of three expensive subscriptions! If you are persistent you can ignore these subscriptions, but then you find that you're inside an app called MINIMALIST! When you then try to set up MINIMALIST, you are prompted to agree to more permissions than is required by any other launcher I have tried. All of this has induced a warranted lack of trust, so I am uninstalling.
