thanks for watching! make sure to check out some of my other videos :)
I was listening to the beginning of this video with a broken set of headphones and couldn't hear you talk because the left side it broken.
Your voice audio is only coming out from the left ear and music on the right
oops :(
play it on speaker ?
it's an error brother but it still being good content 🎉
@@reysuon my iPhone, in portrait mode it sounds fine. I suspect that’s due to the speakers being closer together. When I turn my phone to watch full screen, it’s more noticeable. Using headphones, I have to turn on the mono accessibility setting to watch the video. 😅 YT may let you do a video replacement with fixed audio?
That aside, I agree this is killer content! I had wanted to do this last year but could t find a good way to do it. Thanks for this more in depth video!
When I flipped my phone one way the audio got strange but then I flipped it the other way around and it fixed the audio so maybe try that.
This is awesome. I started using a feature phone last year, but had to keep my smartphone around for all the little things that businesses and banking require smartphones for these days. This is a great way to have the best of both worlds!
I've been looking for something like this for YEARS! Thank you so much
One of the first helpful videos on productivity I have ever seen on YT. And I watched so many already haha
Glad it was helpful!!
I also watched some other `turning into a dumb phone' videos. I want to say, I like your setting the best. I have tried both blank spaces and opal. They are amazing! Immediately boost my productivity no kidding!
Thank you thank you!! I’ve struggled with this for years and can’t wait to get my time back from so many distractions!!
This is brilliant, I've toyed with the idea of a dumphone for a long time and instead just tried to get on with self management but this seems to be a really good compromise. Can't wait to try
Thank you so much! I have been trying to do this for years!! Great job
I really just applaud you on showing people exactly how to do this stuff! I've tried to make my phone more minimalist before, but some of these apps are pro level. I can't wait to set all this up.
Thanks for the tutorial! Super helpful!
Thanks for going through the effort if setting that up and sharing how to do it. I’d like to do it too but I procrastinated too much already today 😂
thank you dude! i realy wanted to have an in depth tutorial for this :)
you're welcome!!
This was great! Thank you!
If anyone has trouble with blank spaces, mine wasn’t showing up as a widget, I deleted the app and reinstalled it and it worked just fine after that
Thank you so much for this! I bought a flip-phone a few months ago and it was brutal, great video!!! Implementing now 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
life changing video bro, thanks a lot!
This is super helpful! thank you!
That’s the content I signed into RUclips for. Can’t wait for the video on other productive apps within that setup
I already made the video! Go check it out on my channel
amazing video, thank you so much for this
great video man, the audio is coming out of my left ear but still great haha
Thank you so much! I was debating getting rid of my iphone and buying a sunbeam, but I decided to use what I already have. Thank you for the step by step tutorial!
Thanks, this was really helpful!
thanks for this tutorial it really helps me and I really want to see the video about those apps that you say they don't distract you
It's so strange... I had your voice in my left ear and your background music in my right ear, when I wore headphones to listen in... Thank you for the setup video!!
Thanks for the vid! I’m excited to do this to my iPhone. When you get a chance, I would be interested in the other video of the most useful iPhone apps that don’t distract you.
Thank you so much😩 I was so close to buying a dumbphone. Im saving so much money by doing this
Thanks for this video!
I actually had to add a shortcut to change my wallpaper as well because your wallpaper doesn't automatically change when you go between light and dark mode. Other than that we are rockin and rollin and on our way to being more productive! Thanks Reysu!
This is great!! @trevorhendrix I’ve been looking for this! What shortcut sequence did you use to change the wallpaper?
@@Damiansanchez19 I had this problem as well!! I set the white paper as my default wallpaper in settings first. Then, swipe down to access dnd mode but instead press and hold it to access dnd settings. Then in those settings, set your customized screens as the dark wallpaper your saved in photos, and the home screens the ones you have already set up. I hope that made sense/helps!!
Hey just a piece of advice, u can choose in every focus mode a filter where u can choose different settings and one of them is dark mode. Is in the bottom part of the focus mode.
Thank u so much for the content! Have a nice one!
just adjusted my phone, lets see how this goes ! Appreciate you
Thank you! Very useful
This video is amazing!
Thanks for the game changing video. I thought I might let you know I worked out how to make a much longer free text goals list for the lock screen. In your other video, you had a quote and yearly goal using the widget feature, and when I implemented this I realised its only has room for a few words. To set up a list of my monthly goals on the lockscreen (I prefer monthly, instead of annual) I took a screenshot of the blacked out blank screen from spaces, I added this to the freeform (app), I used the any text (app) to write the list of goals I have and format into the same font you use, then copied this to freeform. I had to stuff around a bit with spacing and sizing to make it look similiar then I saved it as a PDF to files (app). I opened the file, took another screenshot and then add that as the lock screen wall paper. Looks great and next month will probably only take me 5 minutes to update... I wish iIdidnt have to use freeform, as its not the best for this, so I'm open to any improvements anyone has...
This is great, I need to find the Andriod app versions and do the same thing.
U find something on Android ?
10:45 screen zen also is great
My left ear thoroughly enjoyed this. Audio issues aside, great video, just a minor mistake!
won't happen again. Thanks so much for watching
@@reysu No problem dude! Loved the video nonetheless
Thanks man this is great
No problem!
I recently did this on my Android using a custom launcher, and was wondering how other people do it. Cool to see iPhones can do it too!
Plus, that look is just so good after being used to the general layout for so many years.
subscribed. would love to see a video on your tracker apps
Dude thank you!! Was about to buy a light phone but this is exactly what I needed
Love the content man. What was the habit tracker app you had been using in the other vid?
it's called habit kit!
ty king @@reysu
18:44 Request!! for a video of iPhone track apps that does not distract!!
Ur videos is just like the saying “modern problems require modern solutions” keep it up!
I would actually love a video on tracking apps too :)
awesome content man. just one thing, on a stereo device, your voice go trough left, and music trough right. just that
Loved the video! (btw, if someone find this useful, you can also set up an automation to set the colour filter when the bed time starts)
Ooh!! how?
How do you do this ?
Great video and setup. I’m thinking of switching to android soon. Any way you can do a similar video for Android?
Hi!, thank you. Mine kind of jumps to Shortcuts before opening any app. Also, I reduced motion but this is still happening. Is there a solution for this?
that version of the Jazz 3 pick is the best!!!
Yes it issss
Blank should have multiple customizable widget for a paid app. When in work focus mode I’d want different app access but I want the personal work boundary otherwise.
If you select 6 apps, but you add 12, the additional 6 show up on the blank widgets
Thanks a lot!
my left ear loved this video
Great video! thank you, I have difficulties to remove gray background of the dock on bottom of the home page even I remove all app :/
try switching to dark mode
Very lovely, and smart.
fire music, my right ear enjoyed it a lot
Keep in portrait mode
activate both parts of your brain
Hey, every time I click one of the app names, it opens the blank app and then the selected app. Is there a way to by-pass this so I don’t have the blank app constantly open in the background?
Sounds quality 👍🏻
thanks
is it available for android or is there anything similar?
Your content is amazing!
(One thing that I find unnecessary is this "peace" at the end - everybody's saying it, I think you're such an original creator, you can come up with something more memorable!)
Ahah! GREAT FEEDBACK
This is great thank you!
One question - when I click the apple apps that use shortcuts I still see the shortcuts screen briefly before switching to that app (i turned on reduce motion). Any idea why it does that?
Same any fixes anyone?
Same here
Struggling with this as well, I’m kinda mad that he didn’t mentioned it anywhere in this and his other video as well
Oh damn, blank space is subscription. Might consider it if it was a one-time purchase
There is a lifetime subscription for $22.99 USD
Great Video, thanks for your effort to Show this! Could you Tell me how you managed it to make the Dock not visible? Thanks in advance!
you have to use the wallpaper
Are there any good alternatives to the blank spaces app?? Great vid btw
Cool vid. I like your ideas, I just can't get the space for frequently icons at the bottom of the page to match in color to the blank spaces widget. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
just figured out what was wrong for me, the reason could be because your phone is either in light or dark mode. When in light mode, it matches with the pure white wallpaper, so you need your phone in dark mode
my left ear loved this, anyone else?
Yeah that was a little frustrating, but good video nevertheless
2:07 right here, what settings are required to get the blank app widgets to change from light to dark mode and vice versa? I setup the shortcut automation for the background, but the app widget remains in light mode even when the wallpaper changes to dark.
try updating the app
same for me
I still have the issue
the widget worked for me after doing an uninstall and then a reinstall
Just the greyscale has been enough for me the last few days to massively reduce my interest. I also set my screen saver to the basic apple logo to remind me I’m holding a computer that just wants to melt my brain and mine it for information. The stubbornness kicks in when I see it but not sure how long it’ll last.
Got all these settings on now and it’s looking calmer.
I am unable to get from adding the widget to having the six apps I choose to show up on the screen. The page with the apps listed does not show up. What am I missing?
I love the idea of 1 hour social media a day.
What app do you use to remove blue light on iphone at night? I was unable to find a good one and currently just use apples built in night mode
Edit: i just got to the part u mentioned it in the vid nvm haha
thanks for sharing this.
maybe the answer is obvious, but how do you access the phone after removing it from the dock?
Same way you access any app, you can swipe all the way over to the collection, or search for the app, or, add it as one of the options in your spaces set up.
Can you also make a video for android phones, please? 😊
I’m struggling with my phone swapping between both of the backgrounds I downloaded (light and dark)
Automations u explained well so I got that down when I’m in and out of DND but the background won’t change with it :/ any help?
Is there a Gabb Phone with a notes app that can transfer notes from the phone to a pc via a USB plug? Also can the phone be purchased without buying a plan? I'm looking for a pocket sized device just for notes that is completely self reliant and doesn't need internet or an e-mail. Something strictly for taking notes. Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Is there a way to do greyscale with zoom without it actually magnifying?
How did you get the text for your apps to change to white or black based off of the light or dark mode? The adaptive setting in blank spaces only seems to change the widget, not the text color
Great video, but how do you make your dock transparent? I’ve tried many times but I couldn’t make it work
Anyone figure out how to do that as well? I’m still having a hard time with it
@Reysu could you please help with this?
You have to use dark mode, then the colors match
how do you make the right side bottom zoom/greyscale?
Opal is not necessary. You can block the apps on the phone setting (screentime) and skip the part where you have to connect it with your Appel-Id. You just need a friend who you trust with your code
Any way to add an app thats custom? Want to add my app for local bus and tickets is that possible though its not in the apps list?
How do you put that folder at the bottom of the Home Screen?
Is there anyway to bypass Opal? I know in ios settings under screen time you can turn such apps off. Wonder if this is a different kind of app where you can't do that. I know with clear space you can turn it off. Thanks!
have someone else set up your screentime password
My reduced animation still shows shortcut before going to the intended app. Has anything changed in the last month? On an iphone11 ios 16.1.1
Same, haven’t found a solution, only automations seem to have the option to disable it
I wish there was a way to do this without apps
Should allow to add a wallpaper for motivational quotes n texts u want reminding off
Thanks! Just a quick question. Black spaces says some apps like reminders need to be imported to shortcuts to open and I still get shortcuts opening even with reduce motion. Is there any way to fix this?
Is there still no fix for this problem @Reysu? Seems there are many people having this problem
you can use assistive access, this is the best method that i have ever used. but i couldnt get it to how can i on/off silent mode when i using asstive access
I just don’t like the UI :(
me too, thats why i am using assistive access hahaha. but still i couldnt find how can i turn on/off silent mode.@@reysu
What habit tracker are you using in your widgets?
thanks for the video. how do i add an app that isn't in the list?
theres a button on the bottom, you just have to make a shortcut that launches it
Is there a way to make the phone change wallpapers as it automatically switches appearance (light/dark) based on time of day? For instance if it changes to light mode in the morning, make it switch wallpapers to the white background and vice versa.
Yes, you have to do that in automations
Haha did your keyboards letter markings distract you too much? 😄
Not sure if I’m missing something to make switching dark/light mode to work: do you have the text colour change as well as the widget colour or is it some gray that works for both?
Also how to make the wallpaper change colour from light to dark too?
Doo you mind doing something for android??
Amazing video man! Anyone know how to get rid of the the shortcut screen that pops up when I press for example clock or any app that you have to mak a shortcut for?
you have to go to settings accessibility and turn on reduce motion
@@reysu I tried it and still shows up... :/
@@liquid5684turn off shortcut notifications from screen time
when I double click the side button it doesn't show color filters and zoom, how do I activate it?
Every time I turn on the zoom shortcut for grayscale, my iPhone keeps zooming in. How can I prevent this from happening?
Olauncher seems to be the nearest equivalent on Android.
how did you enable pressing volume button and power button to show the color filter?
Press power button 3 times
16:32 bro is putting up world record averages 💀
lol I was using that phone as a clock
Is there a way to set this up where if I click an "app" from the home screen it opens a folder with several apps. For instance, I use 3 lanuage apps, but I really don't want all 3 taking up space on the Home Screen. Would rather just have something labeled language, that lets me access either 3.
This would be a great feature
The lowest amount of zoom it will let me do is 1.2x. How can I have zoom on to get the grey scale without having to zoom in? Thanks
I was stuck on the same issue. However, if you triple click with three fingers, with zoom enabled, you bring up a “zoom menu” with a slider that you can adjust to no zoom.
Hope that helps if you were still stuck!
