What is fPhone?

fPhone is a way to get a "feature phone" feel on an iPhone: keep the tools you need (banking, tickets, digital ID/cards, keys, camera) while removing the attention-grabbing home screen.

You can do this two ways: keep your normal iPhone and switch with a Focus, or go feature-only.
Step 1

Choose how you want to use it

Pick one—this guide will tailor the last step.

Tip: Focus toggle is easiest to start with.
Step 2

Plan your feature home screen

Pick Dock apps (0–4)
Dock apps are visible everywhere. Only add apps you want available in both your normal setup and Feature mode (example: Phone, Messages, Mail).
Create one “Feature” page (up to 6 apps)
Enter jiggle mode, add a new blank page, then place up to 6 apps—one app per row. (Leave widgets for the left widget panel.)
Hide the Feature page (for normal use)
When you're done, hide that page from your regular Home Screen. You’ll show it only inside the Feature Focus.
Decide your Dock apps (0–4)
Optional: keep the Dock for your absolute essentials (Phone, Messages, etc.).
Build one simple Home Screen (up to 6 apps)
Enter jiggle mode and arrange up to 6 apps—one app per row. Skip widgets on the Home Screen; keep them in the left widget panel if you need them.
Remove extra pages
Delete/hide every other Home Screen page so you only have this one.
Step 3

Generate a matching wallpaper

Create a wallpaper that labels the 6 apps on your feature page.

Generate + download
Open the Wallpaper Generator to enter your feature-page app labels and download the image to Photos.
Set wallpaper pair
Use the downloaded image as your Home Screen wallpaper. For Lock Screen, consider a blank/simple one (photos can be attention magnets).
Turn labels off
On that Home Screen: long-press → Customize → set icons to Large (no labels). Choose a calm icon appearance (default/dark/tinted) so the screen pulls less attention.
Keep your normal wallpaper
Switch back to your usual wallpaper pair for everyday use—Feature mode will use the feature wallpaper.
Keep it simple
Use your generated labeled wallpaper for the Home Screen. For the Lock Screen, pick something calm/minimal.
Step 4

Create a Feature Focus

Make a new Focus called “Feature”
Settings → Focus → “+” → Custom → name it Feature.
Home Screen
Set your Feature page as the only visible Home Screen page for this Focus.
Wallpaper + vibe
Assign the feature wallpaper pair to this Focus. Optional: enable Dark Mode and use Low Power Mode when you're in Feature mode.
Notifications
Allow only must-have apps + people. I like allowing calls from everyone. Keep sound on, but keep notifications minimal so sounds don’t pull you in.
Optional: schedule it
You can schedule Feature mode during the day, and keep the full phone experience only for nights when you’re done with the day.
Notifications (for the whole phone)
Turn off everything you don’t need. Allow only must-have apps + people. Consider allowing calls from everyone.
Dark Mode + Low Power (optional)
If you like the vibe, keep Dark Mode on and use Low Power Mode to reinforce the “feature phone” feel.
Keep sound on, keep noise low
Don’t mute the phone if you rely on it. Instead, reduce notifications so sounds don’t distract you.
Done

Use it anytime

Switch on Feature Focus
Turn it on from Control Center whenever you want the feature-phone experience.
Optional: Work / School versions
Create additional Focus modes that reuse the same layout but with a work/school-specific wallpaper and app labels.
You’re done
This setup is always on—your iPhone now behaves like a feature phone by default.
You now have an iPhone that’s still capable—without the default distractions.
