every notification turns into an actionable card. tap it to open the exact conversation, not the app's home screen. messengers that spam the same chat collapse into one card with an unread counter.
no attention mechanics
no streaks, no badges, no scores, no dopamine loops. the home screen does not reward you for opening it.
OLED-first
true black at the root. on OLED panels every background pixel is off, which means zero power draw on the home screen.
pinned apps that share the scroll
pin up to 5 apps. the row sits above the feed but scrolls with it, so messages reclaim the space when they pile up.
focus dashboard, no scoreboard
focus score, time-on-task, and context switches for the day. the dashboard exists to inform, not to nudge.
stays on device
no analytics, no crash reporting, no network calls. Will does not even request the INTERNET permission.
most launchers compete for your attention. they want time on screen because their business depends on it. Will has no business model. it is a tool, the way a hammer is a tool — used when needed, ignored otherwise.
the home screen is not a destination. it is a surface where work surfaces, gets handled, and disappears.
the feed is the home screen. no app chrome, no tabs, no bottom navigation. the launcher gets out of the way.
notifications you already get are the source of truth. Will does not ask you to type your day into yet another inbox. it reads what your phone already knows.
deep links survive restarts. tapping a task opens the specific conversation, not the app's home screen — even after Android kills the listener service.
filters belong to you. decide per app whether its notifications should become tasks. the rest stay where they are.
basic launcher, notification capture, conversation dedup, pinned apps, manual text input, per-app filter, and the today-only focus dashboard are shipped. accessibility-driven lifecycle tracking, deeper privacy controls, and trend charts are in flight. see the roadmap for the full breakdown.
