Show HN: I developed an app to dumbify your phone (apps.apple.com)

I created an app that allows you dumbify your iPhone with a lot of cool features. You can edit your app names to customize each view, you can edit the url scheme to enter apps at specific points, or call specific people, look up your favorite websites all from your home page! You can also add emojis to the app views and change the color of the background. A very open app with a lot of power if used right. Updates are on the way too!


Thanks! I got a new phone and decided not to restore the countless apps I collected, so I'm very deliberate with apps, downloading one at a time, but the iPad collected quite a few, so it will be a good test or Limpio once I upgrade the OS. (requires 17.4)

Of course, I really should delete unused apps as part of the setup.

Note to ios users: Many apps "disappear" from the AppStore after time, but are downloadable under your "purchases" menu if you bought them (even for free).

"Normal" searching on them returns nada.


Hi HN, I was spending too much time on my phone and wanted a way to reduce my screen time without getting rid of my iPhone. So, I developed Limpio, a lite phone mimic for the iPhone in an attempt to bring control back to the apps that are actually important.

Let me know what you think!

Kenny
