The initial Dumb Phone Make home screen, showing an analog clock and a settings button

01 / OVERVIEW

What it does

A quiet home

No notifications, feeds, or unread badges—only the tools you choose to add.

DIRECT / REFLECT

You decide which tools open immediately and which deserve a short pause.

A moment before opening

REFLECT links pass through one short prompt before continuing.

Stored on your device

Your links, theme, and launcher history stay in the browser instead of being uploaded.

02 / STATUS

Current status

  • Works in iPhone Safari and as a Home Screen PWA
  • ICON / LIST, DIRECT / REFLECT, and pre-launch prompts
  • URLs, Apple Shortcuts, and a FOCUS note
  • 1× / 1.5× / 2× clock, seven languages, three themes
  • Export / Import and an offline PWA shell

03 / BOUNDARIES

Limits and boundaries

  • It does not replace the iPhone Home Screen.
  • Only launches made through DPM pass through its prompt.
  • External links may open in a native app, a browser-like view, or on the web depending on the device and destination.
  • It cannot guarantee every native app or Shortcut launch.
  • The native iOS version and StoreKit payments are not complete.
  • It is not treatment for addiction and does not guarantee better focus or productivity.

04 / PRIVACY

How data is handled

There is no analytics, advertising SDK, location access, cloud sync, or personal-data upload. Settings live in browser Local Storage and can be exported, imported, or deleted by the user. Once an external link opens, that destination's policies apply.

05 / MODEL

Core features stay free. Planned payment is visual only.

MONO is free. POCKET LCD and RETRO PHONE are planned as one-time JPY 220 theme purchases. All three can be tried in the current Hosted Preview, but no payment or ownership is created.
