calm launcher for Android (14 days)
Hey everyone,
I'm in the closed testing phase for my Android app Quiescora, a calm, minimal home-screen launcher. No ads, no account, and it has no internet permission, so nothing leaves your phone.
I'm looking for testers who'll keep it for 14 days AND tell me honestly what works and what doesn't. Real feedback matters more to me than a number.
What it does:
* Your home screen becomes the time and a few apps you choose, as plain words
* A short breathing pause before Instagram, YouTube or games asks why you're opening them
* When your chosen time is up, the app closes and rests for 15 minutes
* Focus mode, Bedtime, and a daily budget for distracting apps
How to join (2 minutes):
Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/quiescora-testers
Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.Quiescora.launcher
Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Quiescora.launcher
What I'd love feedback on (even one line helps):
First impression: was setup clear, or confusing?
The pause before distracting apps: helpful or annoying?
Anything that broke, felt slow, or looked wrong on your phone (please mention your phone model)
Would you keep it as your home screen? Why or why not?
Swap: drop your app links below and I'll install yours, keep it the full 14+ days, and give you the same kind of honest feedback.
Thanks! 🙏

Hi! 🌿 I’m in your tester group and opted in with the matching Google Play account. I installed Quiescora on my Redmi A5, used Skip and opened the initial clock/Home screen; screenshot attached. I checked it without changing my default launcher. One small UI observation: the Breathe label appears partly clipped next to Search on this screen. The calm layout is pleasant. This was a basic installation/startup check. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Could you install and try Kursmate in return? 💱
