NO_UI Project ✨✌️
I am presenting you the No UI project for tech savvy people and people who want to be in digial detox, bringing cli environment in Android
I believe, if we dont have UI we wont use phone mindlessly, cuz you have to think and give commands to your phone for every operations.
I have debloated all factory installed bloatwares and social media apps including youtube using adb shell.
cuz I am sick of all this manipulating algorithms.
Levaraged over other opensource projects to create this:
- termux
- tgpt
- ranger
- ytfzf
- tmux
- cmus & cava
- openssh
- yt-dlp
- htop
- ncdu
- mupdf
- fossify gallery
- Yanrtra Launcher
- newsboat
- links
I wrote bash script to connect all this into one part and some config works, yantra has some bugs yet its a nice project.
Pros of this project
- As cli follows unix philosophy, your phone is highly customizable now.
- Interface is clean and neat, no distractions or anything that hypes your dopamine.
- No Ads.
- simple interface like this encourage you to achieve your digital detox goals.
- shell Automation.
- Encourage you to break out of matrix and motivates you to do free thinking cuz you are no longer manipulated by algorithm and you are not following herd mentality anymore.
- you have huge control on your system. you decide what you consume in internet, not by Algorithms or AI’s which was controlled my big tech’s.
Cons of this project
- Sophesticated to setup, yet provides you the learning curve about computers.
- Boring Interface, It depends on eyes of beholder, Tbh boring interface encourages you to use your phone less, hence digital detox is easier to achieve.
- Complicated system, Again depends on eyes of beholder :)
Life is now clear and focused, I am having this setup for months, I have migrated some essential google apps like maps and other apps to shelter app from F-Droid to isolate and hibernate them.
