Minimalist iPhone launcher
A minimalist iPhone launcher built to break the unlock reflex. Open a quiet clock and essential tools instead of scrolling the home screen — with optional Screen Time app locking.
Racoon helps you step past noisy home screen feeds with an intentional unlock pause, essential tools, and optional native Screen Time locking. It doesn’t replace the iOS Home Screen — iOS doesn’t allow that.
01 / Pause
3 sec
Intentional pause before anything opens.
02 / Zero noise
0 feeds
Stripped down to core utilities, no distractions.
03 / Timed lease
5 min
Temporary app access before shields re-lock.
Features
No unread badges. No infinite feeds, zero algorithmic noise. Just direct paths and quiet tools that get you in and out.
01 / Friction
Every unlock starts with a calm clock and a three-second breath between reaching for your phone and opening it, giving your brain a moment to break the muscle-memory habit loop before you open an app.
02 / Routing
Phone, Messages, Maps, and Mail — without seeing the unread badges. Pick your contact or dial directly from Racoon so you never fall into an inbox trap.
03 / Shielding
Lock distracting apps and social feeds at the system level. Need to check something urgent? Grant yourself a strict 5-minute timed lease that automatically re-locks when you're done.
04 / Instruments
Replace noisy utility apps with three calm, purpose-built instruments: a monochrome-enabled film camera, a scratchpad to jot down quick thoughts, and an on-device 2FA authenticator.
How it works
A launcher alone won’t stop you. Pair Racoon with a few deliberate habits.
Bind Racoon to your iPhone's Action Button or Back Tap so every reflex reach instantly opens your quiet gate.
Add the Racoon clock and app lock widget to your home screen for fast access.
Use App Lock to block addictive feeds. Unlock a strict 5-minute timed lease only when you truly need it.
“That’s it, Racoon is that simple.”

FAQ
No — iOS doesn’t allow custom default launchers. Racoon is a full-screen utility you open instead of browsing the home screen, ideally mapped to your iPhone's Action Button, Back Tap, or iOS widgets.
Free covers the core minimalist launcher, 3-second pause, essential app list, put-it-away ritual, and clock widget. Pro unlocks Screen Time app locks, the 5-minute timed lease window, 24-exposure film camera, scratchpad, 2FA vault, and iCloud sync.
Racoon Pro is billed through Apple. Prices are shown in the app and App Store for your region. A 7-day free trial is offered when your Apple ID is eligible. Cancel anytime in Apple ID subscriptions.
No. Racoon uses Apple's native Screen Time API and on-device automation. It does not route your traffic through external VPNs or drain your battery.
