Hi, where else can I upload this image to illustrate what I mean?
This is UI on my nothing phone. I see a major benefit for my everyday mental wellbeing to not have my phone shooting at me with all colors, and instead being “just a good interface”.
There might be some issues with icon recognition and speed of access, but since that’s your device and your icon placement, you eventually getting used to it. In exchange you receive a clean UI which doesn’t overload your receptors, which is a very important thing for the device you look at often.
Weather widget in the middle often shows calendar events, but I don’t discolse that for privacy.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
I do something similar on my phones. The screen turns on to a blank page with just the time and alarm/media playback information.

To access my applications I swipe left. I’ve made the icons monochrome and removed their names so I rely on search to find and open the app I want. This makes app launching less of an addictive reflex and more of a conscious decision each time.

What’s that Clock widget and what icon pack areyou using here? That’s not Articons is it?
It’s the Orbit clock in the Kvaesitso launcher (one of the stock options). And yes, the icon pack is Arcticons, although I also use Alembicons to create icons for apps that aren’t currently supported by Arcticons.
Ah, no wonder the clock looks familiar. I’ve use Kvaesitso before. Thanks.
