Less phone.
More life.

A calm, text-based launcher that replaces your colorful home screen and makes every app you open an intentional choice.

THE IDEA

A tool, not a slot machine

A bright wall of icons and badges is built to pull you back. Instead, tregua turns your phone into a quiet, monospaced list of just the apps you chose when you were thinking clearly — so opening one is a decision, not a reflex.

Quiet by default

Monochromatic, no rainbow pickers, no ads, no tracking. It is a self-directed wellness tool that lives on your phone and asks for nothing in return — not your account, not your attention.

EVERYTHING INSIDE

More than a list of words.

A calmer home screen

Replaces flashy icons and badges with a clean, monospaced list of app names.

A profile for every moment

Work, evening, sleep — switch your launcher as your day changes, with a tap.

Launcher widgets

The launcher lives on your home or lock screen; buttons open apps directly.

Pause the apps that pull you in

Open a paused app and get a calm moment first — a breath, a delay, or a block.

Schedules that run themselves

A profile turns on by time of day, including an overnight wind-down.

Private by design

Your rules and the apps you block stay on your iPhone, or in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync. No account, no ads, no tracking.

SEE IT

Work. Rest. Focus. Repeat.

A LETTER FROM THE MAKER

I built tregua because my own phone kept winning. I did not want to throw it in a drawer or buy a separate dumb phone — I just wanted it to be quiet.

So it is a plain list of words instead of a wall of icons, the apps I actually chose, and a calm pause before the ones that pull me in. No ads.
