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...
Congrats to the Lite team on the launch! This looks like a sleek and efficient way to streamline app access. Are there any customization options for how the launcher looks or functions?
@vietpham Hey. Yes totally!
You can change the font, text size, number of apps, color, spacing, etc. It will give a real time preview of how the widget would look.

Hey Himanshu,
would it be possible to make apps open right away without opening firstly Lite for couple seconds?
@illia_kyrychenko1 Hey. Currently it is not possible.
A widget can only open its app first, post which any next action can be done.
In our case, it opens the Lite app before redirecting to the launched app.
However if you turn on "Reduce motion" and "Prefer Cross-fade animations", this tends to look better.
I understand its not a very launcher thing to do, but gotta play within the rules of the Apple ecosystem.

Lite sounds like a fantastic solution for those wanting to reduce distractions without ditching their smartphones! Love the affordable price and the focus on reclaiming time for meaningful activities. Great job, @tinypixel_

@marcus_friberg Thank you.
Wanted to give this same feeling of relief to others.

@tinypixel_ Just love this! 😍 Finally an app that won’t suck us into the black hole of endless scrolling. For the price of a coffee someone can reclaim their life! ☕
Great work, Himanshu!
@shadmannazim Thank you.
Yes that was the idea behind the pricing.
Should be a no-brainer to buy it if someone sees value.

This idea is interesting. Minimizing the apps on my phone can reduce the time I spend on them and save me time, but I think there's a problem: if I'm addicted to one app, I will quickly find it anyway.
@sebastean_wu Lol true. If its somewhere there on the phone, then there is no getting away.
Try uninstalling the app for 30 days if possible. Would be a good detox.
