Dumbphone – Turn your smartphone into a dumbphone

In plain words

Dumbphone is an Android app that converts a smartphone into a basic phone by restricting functionality to calls and texting only. It disables access to apps, internet browsing, and other features typically found on modern phones. The app is designed for users seeking to reduce screen time and digital distractions while maintaining essential communication capabilities. It allows customization of which contacts can be reached, making it suitable for those wanting a simpler phone experience without purchasing separate hardware.
