Tired of phone notifications? Check out this new mobile application to help you out

The app’s monochrome interface

Constant notifications popping up on the screen, the distracting, interminable scroll on Instagram, and the impending doom of procrastinated tasks seems to be a common experience. The Minimalist Phone app taps into this very generational problem. The trick is not a restriction, but a change in user display.

The app tweaks your colourful user-interface into a basic black-and-white text-based interface. It is almost a throwback to the old DOS screens, with the apps listed in a row. With the freedom to set a time-limit on the use of the apps you choose, or to completely block other notifications, this might be a detox we all need.
