Reviews
I really love this app! I was considering getting a simpler phone but still needed to use certain apps. This app made my smartphone much simpler and less distracting. Its clean interface design really makes the phone "boring." I love its app list and simple, easy-to-use interface, and you can easily block notifications from certain apps. I've been using the free version for three months and recently upgraded to the paid version. Definitely great value for money.
This launcher is excellent, providing a more focused user experience. I purchased the full version because I believe it will continue to be developed. I primarily wanted a clean launcher like Niagara, but I love its style and the design of its sidebar widgets. It would be even better if it allowed adding widgets to the Oasis home screen so I could use my Samsung Reminders app instead of the one that doesn't sync. I'd also like to add a notes widget that way. Thanks!
A beautiful, thoughtful, and minimalist launcher. I especially love the Oasis widgets and clean interface. It significantly reduces my screen time. The app interruption feature is fantastic—that little hurdle really makes you think twice before opening those distracting apps. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to use their phone more rationally.
This launcher has completely transformed how I use my phone. The Focus Mode is perfect for work hours, and I love that it maintains a minimalist aesthetic while offering high customization. The complete lack of ads is also a pleasant surprise. Customer support is also very responsive. I've been using it for six months now, and it's become an integral part of my digital well-being.
