How to use Offly, in two minutes
This is a working walkthrough, not a video. Scroll, and the phone sets itself up step by step. Use the dots or the arrow keys to jump.
Make Offly your home screen
Install Offly and open it. Android asks which home app to use. Choose Offly and tap Always. Your old launcher stays installed, so you can switch back any time.
Pick your five
Choose the five apps you want on the home screen. Everything else stays one swipe away. Five is a limit, not a suggestion.
Meet your new home screen
The time sits in the open ring, with the date beneath it. Five plain names, no icons, no badges. A quiet line at the bottom shows the time you've got back today.
Swipe up for everything else
Every installed app, alphabetically, with a search box at the top. Swipe down for settings, left for usage, right for focus.
Set a schedule
Settings → Schedules → New schedule. Name it, pick the hours and the days, choose the apps. This one rests social apps every evening from 6 to 10.
Set a daily limit
Give an app a budget for the day. Presets or a slider, short sessions if you like, and a quiet warning five minutes before it runs out.
Open a paused app
You get a plain screen: who set the rule, a countdown, and the exact time the app comes back. Take a counted three-minute break, or open anyway. The door is always there.
Before a session
With a limit on, opening the app asks you to take a breath. Five seconds, a reminder of how many sessions are left, and a few things to do instead.
Turn colour off
Grey screen makes feeds far less sticky. Turn it on after a set hour, during your rules, or for chosen apps. You keep three two-minute colour breaks a day.
Hide an app for good
From an app's options, hide it for two hours, until Monday, or for good. For good has no undo: hold the button, and the only way back is to reinstall.
Hand the phone to a child
Kids mode shows only the apps you allow, in grey, with a time cap and a slow touch. Leaving it needs your PIN or fingerprint.
See your week
One quiet note a day and a recap on Sunday. Offly counts days kept, never days broken, and gives you a fresh start every Monday.

Setup takes about two minutes. Every step in the tour is optional after the first two, and you can switch back to your old launcher any time.
