Dumb Phone (dp)

Unfortunately, actual “dumb phones” have to sacrifice all the quality apps people still need with their homegrown operating systems. The Dumb Phone (dp) app lets you shut out the distractions while keeping easy access to your most important apps. While Apple doesn’t make it easy to customize your aesthetic, this app totally breaks the mold and gives you the closest thing to a minimal phone possible. I’ve nearly removed all app icons in replacement of lists. I’m not longer searching my pages for something to do. It’s brilliant. Yes, it takes some getting used to. Yes, you’ll learn how to set new apps up. Yes, it’s not at all like how you organize traditionally. But isn’t that the point. Put in a little effort to protect your mind and you’ll reap the benefits of not being tied to your phone. Lots of customization available still. And you can always create a page of apps if you need to on top of the text-based app links. If you’re looking for a minimal skin for your iPhone, this is it. Developer is awesome and super responsive to adding new apps and making improvements as well.
