    Every other launcher on F-droid is one of these “minimalist” launchers. And they’re completely useless insofar as your phone ceases to be boring and minimalist as soon as you open an app. We’re addicted to apps not home screens.

      One thing that really works to make apps less interesting sensorially is to turn the screen grayscale. For anyone who feels addicted to their phones, you can set this in the accessibility settings in android

          Sad to hear that. Grayscale helped me a lot, both on mobile and desktop. It’s alsoimportant to try finding interesting things like hobbies, to fill the gap left by the phone, or we end up coming back to it, because nothing else seems interesting. I struggled a lot before finding a tech usage time that I feel like not harmuf to me, and even so, I have to be constantly observing if I’m not becoming addicted again
