ActionDash 5.0 adds Fresh Start, enhanced focus mode options & more
🆕 Introducing Fresh Start
How often have you picked up & unlocked your phone with a single task in mind, only to be greeted by Instagram, the app you were last using when you locked your phone? Next thing you know you’ve spent 5+ minutes scrolling your feed and you’re now struggling to remember why you unlocked your phone to begin with.
ActionDash 5.0 introduces Fresh Start, a new and exclusive feature to help combat this seemingly innocuous but meaningful issue.
Use of Fresh Start couldn’t be simpler: once your device has had its screen turned off for a little while, ActionDash sends you back to your launcher, ensuring that next time you unlock your phone, you will start on your home screen.
You can of course configure the time period before Fresh Start kicks in. And best of all, Fresh Start works whether you’re using our app Action Launcher as your home screen or any other launcher.
🆕 Enhanced Focus Mode Schedules
ActionDash 4.0’s focus mode schedules have been tremendously well received. In my case, they’ve been outright transformative, forcing me to spend more of my work day pondering the task at hand and less scrolling ad filled and fueled feeds on my phone.
ActionDash 5.0 enhances focus mode schedules in a few key ways.
🆕 All Day Focus Mode Schedules
You can now set rules to block out selected apps for an entire day — particularly handy for creating a schedule to say block work apps on the weekend.
🆕 Focus Mode Groups
ActionDash 5.0 allows you to create multiple groups of focus mode apps.
With All day schedules and Focus mode groups, you have the fine grained ability to control how you use your device. Preventing you from using Instagram at work, and not checking Slack on the weekends is now fully possible.
🆕 Set Google Discover as a focus mode app
When using our home screen app Action Launcher, ActionDash 5.0 allows you to block the accessing the Google Discover feed during focus mode.
🌍 Other goodies
Also new in ActionDash 5.0:
- 🆕 At the request of our Middle Eastern and North African customers, you can now set Saturday as the first day of the week.
- 🆕 A custom language override setting, allowing you to select ActionDash’s language independent of the device language(s).
A better digital wellbeing app
The 5.0 update sees ActionDash enhance its position as Android’s deepest, most feature-filled, customizable and privacy-conscious digital wellbeing app.
