About this app

A minimalist launcher that helps you use your phone less.

Yin Yang replaces your home screen with a clean, simple one, in grayscale or full color. Built in: a short pause before the apps you choose, daily app limits, focus sessions, and a clear view of your screen time. Your notes, to-dos, and widgets sit one swipe away.

Because Yin Yang is a minimalist Android launcher, these tools are there every time you pick up your phone. That makes it a distraction-free launcher that helps you reduce screen time and stop doomscrolling. You can switch back to your old launcher anytime.

šŸ  Home Screen: A clean, minimal launcher

• Grayscale or color: start with calm grayscale icons, or switch to full color, tints, and third-party icon packs
• Two home layouts: clock-first Classic, or a minimal text launcher with your apps as a quiet list
• Clocks, fonts, and wallpapers: static, gradient, dynamic, or live, with light and dark themes
• E-ink ready: an e-ink launcher with black and white themes and clean typography for paper-like screens
• App drawer: text-only or icons, A to Z sections, recent apps, and Work Profile apps with a work badge. Hide apps you'd rather not see.

🌿 Mind Space: Less screen time, more focus

• Pause before you scroll (Mindful Pause): A calming breath before the apps you choose open. A moment to ask: do I really want this scroll? Six in ten pauses end in a walk-away.
• App timer (Mindful Timer): Give the apps that eat your screen time a shared daily limit, then open each one for a session you choose. When time's up, a cooldown keeps it closed.
• Focus Mode: Hide everything except the apps you allow. Start anytime, or set schedules. Soft sessions let you leave early. Strict sessions hold the line.
• App blocker (Mindful Break): Block a distracting app for 1, 3, 7, or 30 days, a real digital detox. It stays visible but faded, with your reason and the date it comes back.
• Stricter blocking: Pause, Break, and Focus also hold when an app opens from Recents or a notification.
• Screen time tracker: Daily screen time, pickups, and what you reach for after each unlock, for your eyes only.

šŸ“Œ My Space: Notes, to-dos and widgets, one swipe right

Yin Yang doubles as a productivity launcher with widgets: calendar, weather, app folders and your Android widgets sit next to your notes and to-dos, so your home screen stays clean.

• Third-party widgets like Google Calendar, Spotify, and Google Keep, in color or monochrome

🧠 An ADHD launcher that lowers the noise

• Grayscale screens lower visual noise, and notes, to-dos, and calendar sit one swipe away, so nothing has to live in your head.

šŸŒ™ A digital detox on your terms

Set it up as a dumb phone launcher: the Minimal layout keeps a short text list of the apps you choose, and everything else waits in the app drawer. A minimalist phone that still has the apps you need, for a phone detox and digital minimalism at your own pace.

šŸ’š What Pro adds

Pro is a yearly or lifetime upgrade. It adds the full clock, font, and live wallpaper collection, icon packs, Pause and Timer on more apps, Strict Focus, Mindful Break, and every widget.

No ads, ever. Download Yin Yang Minimalist Launcher and use your phone less, starting with your home screen.

Accessibility Service
Yin Yang uses Android's Accessibility Service for two optional features, and nothing else. Double-tap to lock: detects your double-tap gesture on the home screen and turns the display off. Instant detection: notices the moment a monitored app comes to the foreground, so Mind Space tools step in right away. Both are off by default, and Yin Yang works fully without enabling Accessibility. We never read screen content, notifications, messages, or any other personal data, and nothing is collected or shared. You can turn it off anytime in Android Settings.

I like it in general, but I'm not paying $30.00 for a launcher, and definitely not a subscription. It's not a subscription app. I'm also very angry that the developers think I should pay them to use my own wallpapers on my own device, that's absurd! Already looking for a replacement. They should've asked for a one time payment of $10.00 instead.

Thanks for the honest feedback, Felicia. I understand why that felt frustrating. Update: All static and custom wallpapers are now free for everyone. No Pro needed. Would love for you to give it another look šŸ™‚

This app is pretty good but there are two bugs that NEED to be fixed, the first one is where I keep going back to my regular home launcher even if I put yin yang launcher as my default home launcher, the second one is when you put mindful timer and the overlay is stuck on my screen even if I start the session.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve looked into the launcher reset issue, and it seems to be related to Vivo/Funtouch OS. You can Google **ā€œVivo Y27s third-party launcher keeps revertingā€** for the relevant settings, or email me at **support@yinyanglauncher.com** and I can provide the steps.

the app keeps getting frozen in the home page the icons dissappear and the launcher stops responding and only works after i force stop it from settings. this keeps happening every 5 hours from past 3 weeks. i really liked this launcher because i can customise my wallpaper which a lot of minimalist launchers dont let you do

Sorry about the freezing, that's frustrating. Quick fix: long-press the home screen and tap Restart Launcher to bring icons back instantly. To stop it recurring, please email support@yinyanglauncher.com so we can look into your setup. Glad the wallpaper freedom is working for you 😊
