Tably: Minimal Launcher

Tably is a minimal launcher for a calmer phone. Your home screen shows a clock and the few apps you choose; everything else waits in tabs you name. The apps you open most slowly lose their color, and when it's time to focus, a Pomodoro timer is one tap away — right on your home screen.

No ads. No account. No feeds.

- A HOME SCREEN THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY -
A large clock over your wallpaper and up to nine apps as clean text. FOCUS sits beside SEARCH at the bottom of your home screen. Tap the time for your alarms, the date for your calendar. That's it.

- TABS FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE -
Put your apps in tabs — Work, Social, Travel, whatever fits. Swipe up to open your tabs and swipe between them. Hide the apps you never want to see. Sort any tab into color-coded categories, and collapse the long ones to a single row. Auto-organize sorts everything into tabs in one tap. Drag tabs to reorder, tap a name to rename.

- THE APPS YOU OPEN MOST GO QUIET -
Set icons to Quiet with use, and the apps you open most today slowly lose their color. No pop-ups, no lockouts — just a calm, visible signal of where your attention goes. The color comes back at midnight. Long-press any app to see how many times you've opened it today.

- FAST, HONEST SEARCH -
Start typing and Tably matches first letters, initials and fragments — "wsp" finds WhatsApp. Before you type, search lists your most used apps today with a count next to each. 36× on a social app? You decide what that means.

- FOCUS, RIGHT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN -
Tap FOCUS, pick your focus and break lengths and how many sessions, and start. The clock turns into a countdown framed by the whole cycle, with the time of your next break and when you'll be done.
• During focus, only the apps you allow (up to four) stay on your home screen, and search is off. On a break, everything comes back.
• Breaks start on their own. The next focus session waits for you.
• Every break in a cycle is the same length, and every cycle ends with a break.
• Double-tap the timer to pause. Ended a session by mistake? Undo puts it right back.
• Silence everything turns on Do Not Disturb for focus and hands it back for breaks — it never touches quiet you set yourself.
• When a session ends, the screen wakes up, with an optional chime.

- AWAY FROM THE LAUNCHER -
One Focus card follows the whole cycle in your notifications and on the lock screen, with Pause, End, Skip break, +5 min and Next. A Quick Settings tile starts, pauses and resumes a cycle. Focus keeps its time through restarts and reboots.

- STATS WITHOUT THE NAGGING -
This week against last week, a calendar of the month, all-time sessions, focused time, streaks, and how many sessions you finished without pausing. Only finished focus sessions count. No badges, no reminders, no streak nudges — and no stats on your home screen.

- MAKE IT YOURS -
• Six accent colors
• Icons: Color, Muted or Quiet with use
• Drawer columns, row spacing and labels
• Four home layouts (Standard, Ruler, Frame and Mono), with the clock in numerals or words
• Light or dark break screens
• Works with any wallpaper
• English, Polish, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Ukrainian

- BACKUP & RESTORE -
Export your tabs, apps and settings to a file and restore them on a new phone.

- PRIVATE BY DESIGN -
No accounts, no ads, no sync. Your usage counts and focus history are kept on your phone, and travel only inside your own Android backup if you use one. Anonymous analytics never include app names or anything you type, and both analytics and crash reports can be turned off in Settings.

- WHAT TABLY ASKS FOR -
Exact alarms, so a five-minute break ends on time. Notifications, for the Focus card. Do Not Disturb access, only if you turn on Silence everything.

Tably is for people who want their phone to be a tool, not a distraction. If you've ever wished your home screen was simpler — and that focusing didn't need another app — this is for you.
