Questions

A few details.

What is an Android launcher?

A launcher is your phone’s home screen and the place you open your apps. Haven replaces that home screen with a text app list, optional widgets, and Focus Havens.

Can I still use widgets?

Yes. Add compatible Android widgets from apps installed on your phone. Widgets do not require Haven Plus; available widgets depend on your installed apps.

What activates a Focus Haven?

You choose a schedule or a location and the apps you want to keep visible. Haven applies that rule to its launcher.

Does hiding an app uninstall it?

No. A Focus Haven only changes which apps appear in Haven. Your apps remain installed.

Can I switch back to my old home screen?

Yes. Change your default home app in Android Settings. It is usually under Apps → Default apps → Home app; names vary by phone.

Is Haven free to try?

Yes. Haven has a free tier and optional paid upgrades. See Haven’s Google Play listing for current pricing and device support.
