Dumbify

Horrible stupid app

I love this app so far, and yesterday it worked flawlessly. This morning when I went to open an app it opened the shortcuts app first and then went to the one I wanted

The biggest issue I’ve noticed is that when you click on an app, it goes through the shortcut and that delays opening the app, creating a barrier to open the app. I like that it made my phone more minimalist, I wish there was a way to make it more seamless.

Does not work with IOS 26

This app is hot influencer GARBAGE. DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AS ADVERTISED!

No way to actually block most apps or App Library. Waste of time . I want my money back

I have been enjoying using this app to remove clutter from my Home Screen but there’s a bug with the app launch shortcut. Since the ios26 update, some of the app shortcuts don’t work correctly. Eg: when you use the messages launcher, it opens up a new message which is not usually what I want it to do. iOS26 also makes the widget not blend in. Not sure if that can be changed but that’s another thing. Otherwise I love it!

Saw this app in a YouTube video and immediately bought it. Been wanting a way to make my phone more direct and less cluttered. Works beautifully, have it to where everything is extremely simple and ofc if there’s apps I need less often I can just open them from the top etc. Color customization would be nice. Offer the base colors (grey and white) but allow the widgets to be any color and then provide the accompanying background for them. I really want solid black and army green. Thanks.

Was going great until the iOS 26 update. there are borders visible around every widget on the new dark mode. an update is required to include a new way to properly blend into the background of the Home Screen along with a new tutorial showing how to do it.

I like the vibe but coming in after iOS 26 has a couple distinct disadvantages, particularly in the new look of widgets having an unremovable/uncustomizable border that defeats the seamless look of the home screen. That, plus opening some apps automatically goes to a specific page (messages always goes to creating a new message rather than just opening your threads list; settings always goes into “Apps” directly into Dumbify’s allowed access). So there’s definitely some more annoying stuff than just the intentional barriers one wants to put in place via the app’s purpose itself. All that said, overall a helpful app for minimizing - and honestly, good for learning to build tolerance for exceedingly shallow frustrations lol
