Ask HN: Android launcher or that supports a dumb phone profile?

3 pointsQuarterReptile2 comments

I'm looking for a way to set up my phone with just phone, texting, maps, and spotify, while still being a reboot or reload away from having distracting apps like amazon and a browser, so there's a decent bit of friction between myself and mindless distraction. Is anyone aware of a solution for this?

Evie launcher works beautifully for me. Might not be restricting enough for your taste though.

I checked it out, but I didn't see any way that it helps. It actually seemed worse than Nova in that there is a feed screen (read: endless scrolling distraction) if you swipe right.
