Simple Zen
Turn your iPhone into a dumb phone
Simple Zen turns your iPhone into a calm, single-purpose tool. It replaces your noisy home screen with a minimalist launcher that shows only the apps you choose, tracks the time you reclaim, and starts focus sessions — even by tapping a physical NFC tag. 100% on-device and private: no account, no tracking, no analytics. And it's a one-time $3.99 — no subscription, ever. Make your phone boring on purpose, and get your attention back.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Simple Zen because I kept unlocking my phone for one quick thing and resurfacing 20 minutes later, somewhere I never meant to go. I didn't want a new phone — I wanted my iPhone to stop fighting me for my attention. It replaces the noisy home screen with a calm launcher: only the apps you choose, a quiet layout, and a "Real Life Today" view so you see the time you're getting back. The part I use most is focus sessions — you can even start one by tapping a physical NFC tag, which turns "put the phone down" into a habit instead of willpower. Two things I care about: • 100% on-device — no account, no tracking, no analytics. • One-time $3.99. No subscription. Buy it once, it's yours. I'm an indie dev, and Simple Zen is the one I most wanted to exist for my own attention. I'd love your honest feedback — what would make you keep a launcher like this on day 30?
