Oasis - Minimal App Launcher

After using this app without purchasing the premium, This launcher offers a unique take on minimalism with its focus on quick app access through three designated slots, two of which are customizable. While the core functionality is appealing, some design choices hinder a truly streamlined experience. Swiping gestures are used extensively in the free version, which goes against the minimalist goal of reducing interaction

This looks like an amazing launcher, but the free version has massive unusable paid version widgets etc that seem not to be able to be removed so basically it's an ad for that one and hence for me a waste of space having to look at unusable widgets. The full version cost is excessive given that it's a minimalist launcher. Having said that, it might just be the best minimalist launcher I've seen.

I used to make my phone as colorful as possible. Super vibrant wallpapers and cute themed icons. Once an app had my attention, I had a really hard time putting my phone down. I've been using this launcher for about 2 weeks and it has cut down my screen time by over 2 hours weekly. I am so happy I found this app! It has really improved the quality of my days because I'm no longer mindlessly sucked into my apps.

Beautiful simplicity. Removes the overstimulation of multicolored icons crowding the home screen and replaces it with simple lists of apps. Nice and clear clock/time/date on the main screen. No glitchiness to be seen. Fun little games when swiping left, and they just added a basic to-do list + notepad feature! The live wallpapers are lacking in variety, but there are a few good ones. Very useful and gives my phone a unique look :)

Really nice, free alternative to Minimalist Phone since they went completely paid-model. However, a critical error is the freezing of the main screen sometimes. Can't click on any apps or search. It's rare but when it does happen it is SUPER annoying and can take a while to fix. Very glaring but otherwise nice

Update: changed to 5 star after bug fix. That was really fast, good job Oasis! Happy so far, 4stars is for this inconvenience: just as a heads up for large font users, the oasis "apps" use the font size of your device, and doesn't provide a scroll function, so if you have a large font, it won't show the Dismiss button on the 'About Oasis' page. Took me forever to realize that was the issue before I could access games and such. Seems like it should be a relatively easy fix for your dev team tho!

One of the best launchers I've ever used! It's about as minimal as it gets but still insanely functional and beautiful. Love the live wallpapers, especially the default battery level one. Only thing I would like to see is the ability to add web apps to your homescreen like other launchers allow. EDIT: omg that was a quick response! Thank you for all your hard work ❤️

Really like it so far! Has definitely helped me lower my screen time! The only thing I would change is to be able to add my own widgets. It would also be nice to have more wallpapers. I like having wallpapers for each holiday :) Really great, useful app! Edit: One more thing is that my chrome shortcuts aren't on here, I would like to add them as apps.

I was looking for a minimalist app and this one just seemed like it fit my style. I decided to go with this one instead, and after a few days, grabbed the pro version. When I jump on my phone out of boredom, I now go to apps with intention and I love it. It keeps me from constantly swiping around aimlessly. I would LOVE to see an option for a scrolling "reminder" that lets you know your spending too much time on apps of your choice to keep me from spending too much time on YouTube shorts.

This has been one of my favorite minimalist launchers. Love that I'm still able to use Google Search widget without having to open up any other apps. I love that there's a level of customizability while maintaining the minimalist feel. Only complaints are; wish I could set the swipe up feature to do what I want, wish I could add more than two icons to the home screen, wish other widgets could be added as well (like weather). Launcher crashes sometimes/wallpaper freezes. Have to restart to fix.

I'm so glad the play store recommended this to me. I was looking at a similar app, but the description on this one met my needs better (and I loved the option to use a functional free version—not just a few days of free before being forced to pay to keep using it—even if it was more stripped down). I tested it for 2 days before deciding I needed the full version, and I'm very happy with my purchase! I'm excited that the devs keep updating it and listening to customer feedback. Y'all rock!

I've spent the last two years considering switching to minimalist phones (and even tried one!) to cut down on accidental screentime but it hasn't been reasonable to switch as I use my phone daily for practical reasons. This launcher turns my phone into EXACTLY what I had been looking for!!! All the capabilities of a smartphone with none of the distractions. I'm thrilled that the base app can be used for free and to be supporting an independent dev! 10/10 no notes.

Bought the paid version - interface keeps freezing. I try to swipe left to get to my apps and it just does nothing. Can swipe endlessly, no response. Sometimes closing the screen and re-waking-it-up fixes it, but can require that repeatedly. In the end, it's un-usable. Too unstable. Also: the paid apps are trash. Their snake game has you push arrow keys on-screen, and it's just too imprecise to ever get a block of food on the borders, you will run the snake into the wall. Same goes tetris.

Freezes! I downloaded this just 24 hours ago, hoping it would be awesome, but has already frozen twice. I can't swipe to see apps, it just gets stuck. Thank goodness I still have the ability to swipe down for notifications or id really be screwed. Sad and frustrating, it has to work like a phone, not a brick! Is it because it's the free version? Well I don't want to purchase, and find out it will do the same thing then. Sorry. Guess I'll have to look some more. 🥺

Lacks some key features. No widgets for Spotify or weather, seems silly. Home screen layout is limitng (even in a minamilist way) I just finally stopped using it because how often it was would freeze and I had to restart my phone. Super frustrating. I'll try again eventually. Hope they add some features and fix bugs.

I expected more for the premium version. No option to hide the status bar, no battery indicator, no weather info on the home screen clock. All of that should be available, as most launchers (even minimalist ones) give these features. The theme colors are disappointing. Edit reply to devs: Not having immediate access to it means you have to look elsewhere on the phone for the information. That doesn't minimize app usage, distracting elements, and scrolling. Defeats the purpose.

Good with some cons. I wish I could reorder things on my home or in folders with a long press and hold. The launcher doesn't play nice with some app updates and I have to remove and add them again to open them from my home screen or folders. I want to keep using this launcher, but I encounter these two things often enough that I'm looking for an alternative.
