Everything else waits in a simple app drawer. No feeds, no badges, no grid of icons asking to be opened.

A QUIET HOME SCREEN • Pin the few apps that matter and launch them from plain text labels • Keep the clock and date in view, with optional tap actions • True black for OLED, a warm paper light theme, or your own wallpaper • Set text size and alignment until home feels like yours • Rename any app so labels stay calm — "Photos" instead of a brand name

FIND APPS FAST, THEN LEAVE • Swipe up for one alphabetical app list with instant search • Type a few letters and launch — no folders, no scrolling walls of icons • Keep one app group with unlimited members on home for free (Work, Kids, Travel…)

OPEN LESS, ON PURPOSE Fewest is built for focus and digital minimalism — the calm of a dumb phone, without giving up your smartphone. • Fewer, the built-in reflection screen: optional open counts, counted on your device and never sent anywhere • Mindful Pause (Premium): a three-second breath before selected apps launch from Fewest. Continue when you mean it, or choose not now • See how many opens the pause caught this week, and let go of apps you no longer use

KEEP SELECTED APPS PRIVATE • Hidden apps (Premium): keep chosen apps off Fewest's normal app list • Exact Launch (Premium): a selected app stays off Fewest's list and search until you type its full displayed name exactly • Privacy Lock (Premium): Android asks for your fingerprint or device PIN before a selected app launches from Fewest. It does not lock launches started outside Fewest • Private Space support: where Android exposes it, apps in an unlocked Private Space are available from Fewest; while it is locked, Fewest does not reveal them

LOCAL BY DESIGN Launcher data stays on your device. Fewest makes no network requests for launcher features and has no developer backend, no ads, no analytics SDKs, and no account — the app does not even request Android's Internet permission. Optional purchases are the one limited exception: they are processed by Google Play Billing, which shows the price and handles payment.

ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION The core launcher is free: the quiet home, app drawer and search, themes, text size and alignment, renaming, optional open counts, Private Space support, and one group. Premium is a single optional one-time purchase through Google Play — never a subscription — and unlocks Mindful Pause, Hidden apps, Exact Launch, Privacy Lock, unlimited groups, and a second world clock.

MADE FOR • Digital minimalists who want a distraction-free, quiet home screen • Anyone doing a digital detox or cutting screen time without buying a second phone • Privacy-conscious Android users who want launcher data kept local • Fans of simple, clean, text-based launchers

Fewest. The period means enough.
