## Description

Quiet is a minimalist home screen replacement built on a single idea: your phone should work for you, not against you.<br><br>Instead of app icons, notification badges, and suggested content, Quiet shows you a clock, the date, and a short list of the apps you actually use. Everything else is one deliberate swipe away.<br><br>What Quiet does:<br>• Replaces your home screen with a clean, text-only layout<br>• Shows a large clock and date — nothing more by default<br>• Lets you pin up to 20 favourite apps as plain text labels, organized into folders<br>• Opens a full app list on swipe-up, with instant search, filters, and sorting<br>• Sticky notes with optional reminder notifications<br>• Countdown timers, a simple to-do list, and daily habit tracking, right on your home screen<br>• A 7-day stats view of your habit and to-do completion — calculated on-device, never uploaded<br>• Focus mode with a distraction pause before opening flagged apps<br>• Hide apps behind an optional biometric lock<br>• Daily unlock count and screen-time awareness<br>• Optional weather and next-calendar-event lines — off by default<br>• 7 themes, including a true AMOLED black<br>• Supports double-tap to lock your screen<br>• Back up and restore your entire setup as a single file<br><br>What Quiet does not do:<br>• No app icons or icon packs<br>• No news feeds or suggested content<br>• No analytics, no ads, no tracking<br><br>Quiet stores everything only on your device. The one optional exception is the weather line (off by default) — see the privacy policy for exactly what it sends and to whom.
