Hello and Welcome!

Welcome back to The Digital Minimalist. Each week, I share actionable tips to stay productive in our cluttered and distracting world.

Our favorite minimalist apps of the past year

A roundup of our favorite minimalist apps you can try in 2025. We have included previews, links, and descriptions for each app in the full article.

Below is a quick summary of the 10 apps.

1. Matter

2. Neuecast

3. Opal

4. One Sec

5. Dumb Phone

6. Endel

7. SyncTasks

8. Did I Do?

9. Thoughts

10. Widgy

Note to Android users: Most of these apps are currently only available for iOS, with One Sec and Endel being the exceptions.

We're a small team, but we hope to expand our content to include more coverage for Android users later this year.

Thank you for staying with us.
