Link Pack

– I like the idea of a Hello Page. Explained here. (via)

Minimalist Phone makes me wish I had an Android. (Does a smilar app exist for iPhones?)

Butter ear studs. For Butter lovers like myself.

– As a Swiss and trained graphic designer I appreciate this Instagram Account entirely dedicated to Swiss poster design.

These sneakers made me giggle.

Kevin Kelly’s life advice is a treasure trove. I especially love this one: Whenever you hug someone, be the last to let go. (It’s something I have become known for and call “hugging awkwardly too long!)

– Bookmarking this Twitter question and all the answers.

– An Instagram account dedicated to public transportation seat patterns. Love visual niche content.

– Intereting read: Everyone’s a sellout now, by By Rebecca Jennings

– This made me laugh: Seating with a built-in cat tunnel. (via Chris)

– Yes, its ridiculous, but also FUN: ride on car for kids that cleans the floors while they ride it. Give me one in grown up size, please.

– Here’s a way to prank your parents or look cool for a few days: Check out this new Tattly Sleeve by Tattoo Artist Jessi Preston.

  1. Assistive Access on the iPhone might help you get close to what you saw in the Minimalist Phone app for Android.

  2. Hey!
    Yes, for the iPhone, the app is already included! You can use the “focus” feature and have one focus-page for your most important apps and have everything else in another “focus”, which you only access when needed. Hard to explain, I can send you a video of my iPhone screen and how I use it.

    I loooove the function and tell everyone about it! I use it to switch between work mode (iPhone only shows work related apps and notifications) and private mode and “simple life mode” for evenings with just Spotify and phone function. It feels like I have 3 different phones and always the perfect one at hand which I need.

  3. Also, I use the “grayscaling” function on my iPhone, everything is gray, which also makes it less dopamine inducing.
    I also just found the app on my iPhone to be downloaded: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/on-point-minimal-home-screen/id6476465213 but I will keep using my “focus” feature as I need my phone for work functions

  4. I love love love ur link packs since many years.

  5. I think the app “Blank Spaces” might be what you’re looking for. The Sweet Setup recently ran a how-to on setting it up: https://thesweetsetup.com/blank-space-minimalist-iphone-homescreen/

  6. Hi, for a minimal iPhone Home-Screen, you can use the App “on Point”. I wrote about it on my blog.
