Ease - Dumb Phone

Give your iPhone a simpler Home Screen, with the useful apps you still need. Ease combines a text-based launcher, screen time controls and calmer social websites in one place.

YOUR ESSENTIALS, FRONT AND CENTRE

Build a launcher widget around the apps you choose. Rename entries, change their order, and adjust the font, text size, spacing, alignment and colours. Start with a few essentials and make the layout your own.

Ease guides you through adding your widget and hiding other Home Screen pages. You place and arrange the widget yourself; Ease does not replace iOS or uninstall your apps. Some app-opening connections need additional setup.

SET YOUR OWN BOUNDARIES

Configure time blocks around your routine and daily limits for selected apps or categories. Choose the apps you want available and adjust your rules as your needs change. App blocking requires Screen Time permission and an activated protection plan.

Start a Focus session when you want time for one thing. Without activated protection, Focus is a timer only and does not block apps. Borrow offers settings for short access to one app, with availability depending on your rules. You can turn your rules off or back on when plans change.

CALMER SOCIAL WEBSITES

Open Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, TikTok and Facebook as websites inside Ease. Depending on the platform, choose filters for supported feeds, Reels or Shorts navigation, recommendations, comments and like counts.

Filters apply only to websites opened inside Ease, not to native social apps. Options vary by platform, and website changes can affect results. Some content may remain accessible through direct links. Social websites may require an account with the relevant service.

MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR DAY

Review your recorded calm days and weekly check-ins, then adjust your setup around what matters to you. Begin with a simpler Home Screen or one routine you want to change. The launcher does not require Screen Time access.

A little less phone. A little more room for your day.
