What it does
Enhance your productivity with a minimalistic IOS widget that lets you convert your phone into a distractionfree dumbphone!
Turn your iPhone into a dumb phone. Smile replaces the icon grid with plain text widgets: your apps as words, tap one, it opens. Free on the App Store.
This is a Smile widget. It sits on your iPhone home screen and holds your apps as words instead of a grid of icons. Free on the App Store. Smile replaces the icon grid with a widget that holds only the apps you actually meant to open. No icons, no badges, no red numbers. You type the names yourself, so the list is exactly as long as you decide. People call this turning your iPhone into a dumb phone. It is not a different phone and it is not a lock. It is a text widget and a few speed bumps. It is free, it works offline, and it never asks for an account. Everything you set up stays on your phone. Add up to ten Smile widgets, each with its own list and its own look. Small, medium, large, or…from smileapplauncher.com

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again.
