Hey Hunters! 👋🏻
So, here's the deal: I love my iPhone, but man, it was seriously eating up my time. I’d pick it up to check one thing, and boom—45 minutes gone in a black hole of apps. 😅
I thought about hopping on the dumb phone trend (it’s a thing, trust me), but ditching everything just didn’t feel right.
I realized what I really needed was a middle ground. A way to keep my iPhone but make it less… well, distracting. There are some great solutions out there, but most of them come with a hefty price tag—around $25 to $30.
So, I built Lite (https://www.getlite.app)! It’s a super minimalist app launcher that turns your iPhone into a distraction-free zone. Best part? It’s just $2.99 for life. Simple, affordable, and effective. 😉
Now, imagine all that time you reclaim—spending it in nature, hanging out with loved ones, or finally picking up that hobby you've been putting off. Sounds better than scrolling, right?
Cheers to less screen time and more real life! 🌿

@tinypixel_ Huge congratulations on the launch! Wishing you allthe success in the world. What feedback have you recived so far?
@kjosephabraham Hey. Few basic features were requested to bring it to parity with competitors.
But users really enjoyed the widgets - "Years left to live", "Day/ Year in progress" and "Daily quote".
Here is the roadmap incase you are interested - https://insigh.to/b/lite-minimal...
@owenfar I wanted to price it at a rate, I would be comfortable buying it myself. 😉

Congrats on launching the Lite App Launcher! 🚀 A minimal, streamlined solution for quickly accessing apps is perfect for users who value simplicity and efficiency. Looking forward to seeing it enhance the iPhone experience!
Hey Himanshu,
I'm curious about how you decide which apps to include in the launcher. Is it completely user-customizable, or do you offer suggestions based on usage patterns?
It might be interesting to add an optional feature that tracks and visualizes the user's screen time reduction over time. Have you considered something like that?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Hey.
If a user is unable to find their app among the 200+ listed, they have the option to search for and add a custom app directly from the App Store within the app.
We track this on mixpanel - to see which apps people couldn't find, and add that to the supported apps by the end of the day. (That's almost 5-10 apps on a daily basis 😅)
On visualising screen time - that's a great idea. I should create a widget out of it probably.

Great idea, I think lots of people would benefit from a cleaner screen to launch apps from. Keep up the good work.
@marcus_friberg Thank you.
Wanted to give this same feeling of relief to others.

hey @tinypixel_, kudos on the launch of Lite; minimalism is having a moment and you're on the pulse with it. even without using it, i can tell it’s cleverly thought-out and priced just right, noting the balance amidst the sea of pricey competitors.
@borja_diazroig No. not yet. I think screen time and number of phone pick ups would be a good comparison.
Planning to add that as a widget to visualise and see the trend before and after.
