I thought I had heard that term before. Found the following article in my bookmarks describing how to make your phone more boring and less usable on purpose. Not the same topic, still highly recommended. https://nomasters.io/posts/dumber-phone/

Also, I really like to use this minimalist launcher from time to time: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jkuester.unlauncher/

I use a similar launcher: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/fr.neamar.kiss/

I have a lot of the features tweaked or disabled. The way it is configured, it basically acts as a static list of a few apps I use most, with a search bar to access anything else.

I find this setup to be more straightforward than the normal icons+folders type of launcher. I have handed my phone to other people who have never used it, and they have no problem finding things because you can just search.

Thanks for suggesting Unlauncher! I'm giving it a try now.

Seconded!
