Probably the first app I've seen an ad on youtube for that is even mildly interesting
Me too! It's 20€ per year, but that is like nothing. I think that I will buy this.
@@Andrew_the_Astrophileit's just too much for me
@@Andrew_the_AstrophileOr you can do a one time purchase which isn't much more expensive
@@HyperMusic13 Why do people spent the most of their time working?... to have money and time to enjoy the rest of their life! This is retiring in a nutshell. You pay a fair amount of money to have more freetime and to boost your mental wealth.
@@Andrew_the_Astrophile it's too much there was limited free access earlier but now they removed it.. its fully paid there are many apps to use similar to this..
I Uninstaller minimalist because it's fully PAID now
A minimalist phone review... By the minimalist phone channel. Doesn't seem biased at all
its not really biased its just someone who likes minimalism and is reviewing a phone that is minimalist because lets be honest most people wouldn't even give this phone a first glance. things are made and targeted to certain people this is the case for this phone.
@@pattycarljacksonits not even a phone. Its just a custom launcher for android lol
@@pattycarljacksonplus, this is an ad video, not a review. It was uploaded by the developers to sell their app
What is the channel supposed to do? Offer something that is out of line with their intended target? Throwing around the word "biased" inappropriately.
What are they supposed to do? Tell me kid
Much love! Stay true to your beliefs guys. Been a HUGE help in making me live more deliberately.
Keep going in your digital detox journey! 🙂
im here to help swipe left and then go to the minimalist settings ( you'll see a small settings icon below the search bar ) and then from there you can delete the app or change the screen
like and make this comment popular so more people can see it
😭😭😭😭😭thank youuu
Hi. I recently bought minimalist phone subscription. All the money is worth it. But I am facing one issue. In settings, *Automatically set matching lock screen background *
Despite enabling the above option, my lock screen remains the old one. I want launcher given lock screen interface as shown in your video at 00:01.
Pls help me.
Just use a basic keypad phone for call & text.
Hello there! Unfortunately this does work for most of the people. Sure you will then have no addictive apps on your phone, but you will miss all the useful apps such as your favorite messanger, maps, spotify and so one. This makes most people eventually go back to smartphone. Also if you install minimalist phone instead of buying another phone you don't produce any new electronic trash.
I've been using this app for almost two years on two different pixel phones. Now I use it on my Xiaomi F21 Pro. Totally worth the purchase. It's done wonders for my mental health. I'm on my way to just using a full-on feature phone now, just deciding on the light phone or Punkt phone.
Why you are not buying a feature phone then ? Really curious, weighing the two options.
@@jain-wt2ou I would say that I've been weaning myself off of over a decade of smartphone habits. So my f21pro with the minimalist phone app has been a great transitioning device. I also want to have an aesthetically pleasing feature phone which are a bit pricy haha
Been using this for some time, a really good launcher
Can confirm. It's actually quite excellent.
Does it save battery life
it just doesn't open in mine and asks for premium or i cant use it
There's a buying option for 8 hundred for life time which seems expensive , my question is that with newer versions of Android releasing every year , will the app too update to keep its features working properly ?
I like it but dont want to pay it
Same 😭
@@cayos_corner isn't it only 14 dollars for a year? If so you guys are some brokies. Even if you're. Teenager that amount is nothing if the app is actually good.
@@gustavogomez7331 ay bro its free here
@@xtrex9044 where?
@@chronicconsumer India but it's trial version ig
I used the app it's awesome one thing i would say is just let people use the app for 7 days without any process of registering (which you guys have rn) let them try it and then ask for the payment.I'm telling you what i have personally observed the app is good but people don't know it is good until they try it
And second thing ,the ad that you guys promote on youtube in that the girls say "3 ways the minimalist phone help you save time"well the problem with me was for 5 months i thought it was literally a phone that you need to buy(I'm sure alot of people thought that) rather then an app that you can install so would say clarify that in your ad.
How do i disable it?
i have the same question
I need a minimalist phone set up where I can still have access to my bank acts, Coinbase, stock market, phone, messages, maps , music, notes, camera, things app, calendar, date time & weather.
An iPad or laptop for bigger screen productivity.
This app only requires one payment of 25 dollars. That may sound like a bit of money to some, but then there's the light phone 2 for 300 FUCKING DOLLARS.
That's even more than niagara launcher pro
Yh bruh
seriously... just because there's something out there more expensive it doesn't make this is reasonably priced. you're literally paying an app to tell you how to use your phone. you're paying for a service that every single brain is more than capable of doing without forking money over to a stranger. are you employed there because thats a FUCKING RIDICULOUS TAKE ON THE MATTER?
Thank you for your feedback - there are some very affordable options, e.g. 1year of full version for roughly the price of one lunch (depending on your location). Considering the time you save by not being on your phone this is extremely good value. Also, minimalist phone is more than a launcher - it has several features to reduce the screen time - such as in-app time reminder, app blocking and hiding, notification filter and a monochrome mode.

True, it’s still cheaper than buying a minimalist phone
sir can i use it on my 1 gb ram tablet ?
Bought it ans love it.
How to delete this app???
It's difficult I had a tough time. Go to display settings in this app and switch to default wher the icons will show up again. After that go to settings and app and uninstall it. The problem is this app hijacks your freedom 😂
Does it support minimization of apps?
It's not available in KSA
please bring sorting of favourites and folders 🙏🙏🙏.... Great App btw 👍
Hi! We can help with that. Few quick tips: organize your important apps by adding them to personalized folders for quick access. For this, Long press on the app > Add to Folder > Name the folder > Add folder to favorites and access it on the home screen. Alt: do a quick search in all apps: Settings > Home screen > automatically open keyboard. BR, mp!
Fand diese App so genial. Leider gibt es sie nicht auf iOS.. 😢
I purchased it fully but i have a doubt. Does it save battery life and if i buy a new phone, how can i access it since i did a one time purchase.
Hi! Thankyou for reaching out to us! It is not a battery saving application. You can easily transfer your account to the other phone by simply logging in to the Play Store with the same gmail account and Download minimalist phone. Like this, you would not have to pay twice and would also have to set the permissions again. For further question, you can reach out to us at hello@minimalistphone.com. Your minimalist phone team! :)
I love it
My phone (motorola e20) doesnt allow me to use app overlay. How can i fix this?😁
If it doesn't allow it then I assume it just doesn't work on your phone.
Hello. Please contact us at hello@minimalistphone.com together with the description of your problem and we will try our best to help you. Best regards, minimalist phone - the app for focus and productivity
Sir, I'm a pro user and i have spoted an issue,
- When blocking an app like for example youtube although you can't access it through the main icon you could still open youtube by clicking on an link, I have blocked RUclips for 1 month but here i'm scrolling on it mindlessly.
Hello, Thank you for reaching out! Can you go to minimalist phone settings (gear wheel on page with all apps) -> In-app time reminder -> Precision mode and turn it on? You can just follow the on-screen instructions.
I just turn on the focus mode when I need to remove distractions
Make free limited version available man that was good days ago
how do i disable it?
The full screen display settings don't work on this app. How do i fix it??
Hello, could you write to the tech support at hello@minimalistphone.com ?
I really want to use it and would pay for it but I don't have option to pay from my country 😢
Do you do a one off payment so you own it permanently or do you have to keep paying monthly 🤔? I'm from Australia by the way too.
Hello there! There are 3 plan options in the app: monthly, yearly, and for everybody who doesn't like subscription also a one-time purchase option. All 3 with trial.
@@minimalistphone Awesome cool, good to know. 👌
Best 800Rs (approx 10 USD) I have invested this year
Hi brother... Is it worth paying 800 bucks
800 rs for life time is nothing, we usually spend money in worst way, so 800 for life time is nothing @@lingaprabhumyilsamy5263

You can also go to minimalist phone settings (gear wheel on page with all apps) -> More -> Exit to uninstall the app.
Can someone guide me how to setup

I can't set it on Default can somebody help me please

I changed my phone and now i cant use the free version anymore why?
Hello. We have switched the app from freemium to paid with free trial few months ago but we kept all previous users on the freemium version so that they can keep using it.
However, as there are no accounts on minimalist phone, if you reinstall the app or install the app on new phone you will start with the paid version as everybody else.
Man ,why did you make it paid 😢
Is there a version for iphone?
iOS does not support custom launchers so no
Unfortunately iOS doesn't allow this level of customisation so there is no iPhone version available or planned. For now it's only for Android.
Do you have an app for iphone?
Hello,
Unfortunately iOS is not available for now but we are planning it to offer it in App Store.
Does it works on Android tablets ?
Hello, minimalist phone is suitable also for tables except of Amazon tablets that are not compatible with the app.
Waiting for a complete launcher so that I can change my phone look completely
This is a complete launcher. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us at hello@minimalistphone.com
I liked it, the only problem is that it asks for money 😢
You need to consider how much your time is worth. There are some other very affordable options, e.g. 1year of full version for roughly the price of one lunch (depending on your location).

Is this drain phone battery?
Hi! No, it is not going to drain your phone's battery. Quite the opposite, it will help you to save it.
The Russian government blocking Instagram and then playing cat-and-mouse with VPNs helped me with screen time. Obviously that was their only goal.
How do i delete the minimalist app
Just search settings and go to Apps and then you can search minimalist phone and delete it
@@Paula.HP. i pressed uninstall but it wouldn't work but i went to home screen and removed the minimalist phone from my home screen and then deleted it
@@ccherry4 are u still stuck there?
@@stonks6284 no I deleted the app I just went to settings and removed it by pressing something but I forgot what it was but yes I’m not stuck anymore

94% out of how many people ? 4?
94% of people out of 4? That sounds pretty painful. Jokes aside, the sample size was cca 1000 users at that time.
I just installed it and I'm gonna buy it. Thank you.
What are you buying and what does it cost?
@@quesadilla692 for 25€ you can buy the entire app. Otherwise it's 5€ a month. Def worth it. I notice the changes in a day already!
@@manupgroup shit I can't afford that lol
@@quesadilla692 lmfao here parents won't even give a dollar of online money
@@quesadilla692 it's not worth it. relying on an app to tell you when you can use your other apps is going to dull your brain. paying for that is even more pitiful.
We can make our mobile screen to black and white by making bedtime schedule for whole day and turn off all the notifications. What's the best deal in purchasing this app....?
Hi! Thank you for your feedback! With these settings, you do lose access to all of the addictive apps, but also to all useful apps such as maps, transportation apps & banking apps etc. People eventually return to their smartphones. With minimalist phone, you instead learn how to control your own screen time better - especially with those addictive apps.
@@minimalistphone One thing I can tell you that I was an Instagram addict. But I just uninstalled it and it's been 70 days and my screen time is reduced completely. I'm back to normal without Instagram. So here the point is it's your will power to resist from addiction. Even this app doesn't work if a individual doesn't have will
Is it safe
Yes, it is. To clarify the situation around data collection, minimalist phone has no access to your photos, files, messages or the text you type (with the exception of precision mode) and this data is also *not* collected.
Besides that, our privacy policy explicitely states that we do *not* sell user data to 3rd parties.
It is only available on Android
Yes.
Well what's the app name?
minimalist phone :)
@@minimalistphone I'm really sorry i thought there were other names on it
Or just buy a button phone at this point
HI! Thankyou for your feedback! With a flip phone, you do lose access to all of the addictive apps, but also to all useful apps such as maps, transportation apps & banking apps etc. People eventually return to their smartphones. With minimalist phone, you instead learn how to control your own screen time better - especially with those addictive apps.
@@minimalistphone as a person who has cash and knows about where i live i Still dont see a problem
the entire "digital detox" stuff imo doesn't actually work. we have devices for a reason and for each of us its different whether its for school, work or personal or all of it we can put the social apps in folders and off the main screen to keep them out of site and keep the important apps up front so we can stay focused more on that and do what we need then put the phone away or just have self control which I don't get why most of you don't have.
If you want a minimalist phone, why don't you just buy a GSM Nokia phone? It only does call and text and maybe snake game? This is stupid
Hello and thank you for your opinion. If you start using a simple Nokia phone, you not only loose access to all of the addictive apps, but also to all useful apps such as maps, Spotify, your local transportation app or your banking app. This usually makes people go back to their smartphones. With minimalist phone, you instead learn how to control your own screen time better - especially with those addictive apps.

@@no_name4080 they dont know what they want. Maybe it's a good thing that they waste their money on rubbish ideas like this.
I'm not exactly sure but someone said this could be a malware app. I don't disagree after the response from this team, it was absolutely atrocious. they didn't even say its not. they said it's "safe and regular" which is not admitting that it's on a malware app. if it wasn't a malware app, they would say it's not a malware app instead of using vague language and then immediately telling someone if they don't like it they can delete it... like a child who doesn't get his way. massive redflags. not to mention you're literally paying an app to tell you not to use your apps. do yourself a favour and exert self control on a daily basis instead of relying on apps to do so for you.
Hi. No, minimalist phone is not a malware.
