TimeAware is a home launcher that turns your smartphone back into a tool you use on purpose. It clears the distractions off your home screen and keeps only what you actually need — no busy wallpaper, no wall of widgets, just a calm screen every time you unlock.
Why go dumbphone
Every time you unlock your phone, a feed or a headline catches your eye and the minutes quietly disappear. TimeAware reduces those triggers by stripping the home screen down to a plain list of apps. It brings the deliberate simplicity of a dumbphone to the smartphone you already own.
Simple to set up
Install it, then set TimeAware as your default home app. Choose the handful of apps you actually use, and see the day's screen time at a glance right on the home screen. Everything works offline, and no account is required.
Who it's for
It fits people who keep finding they've scrolled for an hour, who want to focus on study or work, or who want to try a digital detox. It's for anyone who doesn't want to give up their phone, just change how they live with it.
