0:26 Why I Do It
2:40 How To Do It
Did anybody notice, that he did not even consider adding the phone app. Probably the last thing, that people nowadays do with their "phones"
Just setup my phone to match. This is so sick!! Was super keen on buying the 'lite phone' but just wouldn't be able to survive without maps, camera etc. This is such a great alternative. Appreciate the vid :)
Brilliant! Adding friction to things that distract us, and at the same time making it easier to consciously do things that serve our goals. Thanks for sharing this very powerful tool, Tim!
Absolutely!
Another thing is to switch on monochrome mode, really helps reduce screen time. Great tutorial btw keep it up!
This video is so good! Thank you Tim, I'm pretty good at staying off my phone but I'm going to try this out and spread the word. 😊
coming all the way from Botswana 🇧🇼 this is very helpful for me ❤️ i hope you post more and more videos like this 🙂
i did this from another set up months ago and it's really life changing. Also having a cellular apple watch helps. My screen time is now around 2 hours from over 6.
Great idea! I am currently using Opal for my distraction free discipline journey sort of thing.
Thanks Kim, I have followed your previous screen and it helps me so much.
Always waiting your new video about your new etsy shop ☺️
Etsy update coming soon!
Subbed from the focus mode switcher video, I appreciate the time and effort it takes to try out all these methods, you've got my sub!
Appreciate it Gianni 🙏
Apple Notes is powerful in its simplicity.
I've gone astray from it as well.
Notion has been my go-to since then.
And Things 3 is super cool too.
Can't get too distracted by software.
Content creation and consistent frequency matters most.
Sometimes simple is better....and Apple Notes truly fits that description. For me, Notion is more to organize my life, be it university, free-time, work or my interests
I cut it from the roots and just got the apple watch and forgot about the phone. I'm only missing to take notes, but you can write and see task. You can take calls handsfree and after a month it feels more like a watch, the battery last all day even two days, I just wear it 24/7 and the wake up alarm is the most comfortable I've ever try.
Do you use the one with sim ?
@@dsdsdsdsds375 I use the Watch SE 2º gen GPS+Cellular that allows you to install esim, you need an iphone with ios 15 (if I remember well) if is your phone you can enable all the apps, music, and wallet on the watch, (and forget the phone at home). In my case my phone was outdated so I use my wife's iphone and I installed a second esim there, BUT I can't use wallet, nor mostly apps, just phone, messages, task, fitness etc.
@@dsdsdsdsds375 The iwatch SE 2º gen GPS+Cellular, it uses esim.
Can’t wait to do this !
I have an old iPhone I’d like to prep for my mom who is scared of all the buttons so this would work out pretty good
Thanks buddy. That’s a good trick. I will remove the apps from the home screen and I don’t need this list. Just removing them and add black wallpaper will be enough for me. I hope so.
What an interesting concept! 😊
Hey! How does your Memory Log shortcut work? I love that Storyworthy book too but have struggled with interacting with spreadsheets on the phone.
I had a similar setup for awhile, but ended up going with a blank screen with 4 “invisible” shortcuts in the dock (Headspace, Apple Music, Phone, and the brick app). I just pull down and search for any apps other than those in the dock. And I use the Brick to keep myself on track.
Amazing. I think I’m gonna try this for a month
Hope you like it! :)
Great video ! 🎉
Thanks for watching :D
Love this! Can’t figure out how to do your hidden shortcut widget, though. 🤔
If you drag a shortcut widget on top of the existing blank spaces one it will create a smart stack. Hope that helps!
@@TimKoa yup that did it. 👍🏼
Do you just use Things or do you use a calendar?
What do you do if you need to search something up quick on chrome or downloaded a specific app for a job or task?
I really like this idea! Thank you for sharing! Technology is to help us, not hinder us, this is a good way to reduce unnecessary addictive habits of checking and burning time on smartphones. I struggle with this greatly as UA-cam is my weakness. I’m visually impaired and rely on technology to help me access my world, it allows me to see things I can’t see with just the aid of glasses, but I it’s also my entertainment, which has gotten out of hand.
Can you do a short breakdown on the memory log
How did you add the hidden shortcuts folder? the folder itself is self explanatory but how did you have it hidden at first and then have it drop down?
Thanks for sharing
what chair and keyboard do you use? @Tim Koa
can you do a tutorial on how you use your notes app?
The pro subscription what does it add?
I love the idea of this but I think I'd need more discipline to keep to it. I like the idea of having this on a work focus mode to stay focused too!
Do you know what generation/iOS your phone has to be to use widgets like this?
I use ip se 2 (2020) ios 17. The widget didnt showed up. How come? Any idea? 😢
I was never super addicted to my iPhone or iPad while using it because I find other things to do and I don’t use social media anymore
just get iPhone SE. it's basically a lite phone with all modern iOS goodies.
I am too used to using the search bar, (swiping down) or swiping left to the App Library, this approach does not solve these 2 issues, does it?
I find this home screen and deleting apps is enough friction for me to not use them. If you need something more hardcore, you could use an app like Opal to completely block access.
Lifetime user of strong and such an underrated app
I love your wallpaper. Can you share the source of
It's the Blank Spaces app
Whats your wallpaper?
This looks slick, but I found blank app a chore to deal with. the app is also functioning differently from what was shown here. I have given up, LOL
How did you hide the search/ Home Screen pages dots at the bottom?
You have only one page then it delete
Hey bro, how to remove dock on homepage which is usually used for message & phone?
THIS!!! I can’t find it anywhere on how to remove
Get rid of all the icons on your iPhone, take a screen shot and import that screenshot into the app!
@@bryanotte5517now i know, if you want to use plain white wallpaper, you need to turn off dark mode, and when you set your wallpaper, turn off blur,
But, if you want to use dark mode, you need to download grey wallpaper from the app, you cant use black wallpaper, and also dont forget turn off blur
The wallpaper on mine doesn’t blank out everything
Did this months ago with the same app, and for the very same reason. Lite phone is way overpriced so I stripped down the iPhone's interface and aligned my list to the right for one-hand use. That extra friction involved in getting to any other app through my library was enough to break the compulsion to always be on the stupid thing.
Umm.. subscribed!!
Isn't there something similar built into the OS... a simplified screen for "old people"? Not sarcastic. I thought I heard about a feature like that.
im running to pay 120PLN! 😆🥳
Seems like this app has already changed? I can't access Notes or Apple Maps with it. Love the concept though.
Same here. I can’t get it to add notes.
Same here 3:56
same, it also wnats to add all apps to one widget, wooooof
Do you have an alternative for free ? Nice video too
What kind of monster uses Apple Maps….?
Just kidding!!!!! 😅
Getting wrong directions is part of the fun!
I always use Apple Maps.. i’m hoping it will get more popular eventually.
04:50 The Blank Widget isn‘t there, dies anyone know How to fix that?
Same 😢
@@farera182 I fixed that by resetting my phone😭
I resetted my phone and now it‘s working😭😭, but I had another issue with Widgets and just restarted it and it worked
@@farera182so try restarting your phone it might work and pls reply if it does
Just change the launcher, bruh.
How did you hide the dock?
Got to switch on Dark Mode under display settings 👌🏻
@@HeathClarkstill doesn’t work the dock shows
I had the same issue, I just kept screenshotting and cropping to just to dock and setting that as my wallpaper. Kept doing it over and over until it matched. Trial and error but eventually got to a light grayish tone

Doesn’t work for me. Spark does not work and things3 can’t be found. Nice idea.
Zaddy! Sorry, can't help it.
Tried it. My Blank Spaces widget is black. I can't get it the same colour as the background. I also don't know how you added the hidden widget at the top with shortcuts. More explanation was needed in this video.
You'll have to turn on dark mode on your phone when using the dark wallpapers. The extra widget is just the shortcuts widget. To make it hidden, drag it onto the top blank space widget to create a smart stack. If you need more help with creating shortcuts, I made a video here: ua-cam.com/video/J1kvuv9wEb0/v-deo.html
Hope that helps!
there is no such thing as making an iPhone a lite phone. swipe right -> app library. swipe bottom -> spotlight and have quick access to any app.
jailbreakable devices can disable these things, an iPhone 7 for example is always jailbreakable and has tweaks to disable those
I wish I could disable the App Library that’s so annoying
true, but it’s extra steps to take to get to those apps, which i find puts me off going on the apps
@@CHARITYSHOPPOP it's literally a swipe right
He deleted all apps though
So dont you phone people on your phone?
Phoning is so 2009. 😅🤷🏽♂️
i thought the iPhone already was a ‘Lite ’ version of other smartphones
Great, so I will unsub you and a lot of others UA-camrs that I always see. Limiting subscribing or following content creators can also help reducing watch time/media consuming.
While true, his videos are the type I would like to promote in the algorithm. Instead of a lot of the trash out there.
If you're not getting value from these videos anymore, I actually agree! I appreciate the sub while you were here 🙏
It’s like you purposely tried to miss the point.
The point isn’t to become a Luddite and stop watching UA-cam altogether. The point is to be more conscious of the time you spend on your phone, and he’s sharing one way to do that.
Another way to not waste your time: actually understand the point of the videos you watch instead of leaving sarcastic comments that reveal you missed the point entirely
PS for the algo baby!
I just purchased the one-year version, but I can't access Notes or Apple Maps with it. I love the concept, though. Any help would be appreciated. @TimKoa
That's an overpriced "lite" phone you have there. It's like buying a Porsche and driving 50km/h all the time. 😆
