MinimalSF

Fast, minimal, monochrome home screen. Type to launch. No ads, no tracking.
Version: 1.2.2
Added: 16-10-2026

MinimalSF is a lightweight black & white home screen built for speed. Start typing and the app you want opens - often before you finish the name.



Type to launch



  • Keyboard is ready as soon as you're home

  • One match opens on its own after a short, adjustable delay

  • Press enter to open the top result; results are ranked by best match

  • Custom keywords per app (e.g. "wa" for WhatsApp) and hide apps from search



Gestures



  • Double tap, long press, and swipe left / right / up / down

  • Open an app, call a contact, run an app shortcut, open a specific app screen, toggle the flashlight, open the camera, control music, lock the screen, open notifications or quick settings

  • Saves "add to home screen" shortcuts from other apps, including Activity Launcher



On the home screen



  • Large clock (tap for alarms) and date

  • Optional screen time for today, with your top apps

  • Optional now playing bar: tap to play/pause, swipe to skip

  • Inline todo list



Make it yours



  • Fonts: monospace, clean, your phone's font, free Google Fonts, or import a .ttf/.otf - plus bold

  • Font and clock size, 12/24h clock, search bar at the top or bottom



Private



  • No internet permission, no ads, no analytics, no tracking

  • Everything is stored on your device



Optional features need permissions you grant yourself: accessibility (only used to lock the screen), notification access (now playing bar) and usage access (screen time). Font downloads use Google Play services when it's installed.
