Mars
Minimalist And Really Simple
Small, calm Android apps. One app, one problem. Open. Use. Done.
Minimalist And Really Simple
Small, calm Android apps. One app, one problem. Open. Use. Done.
Most software is designed to keep you. Mars is designed to let you go.
A distraction-free home screen. Apps listed by name, no icons, no badges. My daily driver for five years.
Capture a thought before it disappears. Blank editor, auto-save, no folders.
Every currency is input and output. Tap a row, type, everything updates.
Set the time, start, get back to what you were doing.
I'm Linus. Five years ago I started building a launcher because my phone was working against me. Mars grew out of that, one tool at a time, each solving a problem I actually had.
The launcher is hand-written in Flutter and Kotlin. The newer apps and the self-hosted sync backend are built with Claude Code: I decide scope and architecture and direct the implementation. No ads, no tracking, no accounts. Mars is a hobby, made in the open.
