So. I’ve cut down the amount of apps on my smartphone.

Culled most of them, in fact. I’m now down to three home screens, and that could be shrunk to two if I just munged the last two together.

Front screen - no folders, just my top 20 apps. Second screen - all folders, grouped by verb.

That’s it. With a hat-tip to @rands and @mrgan for the idea. I had had two folders full of games. Now I have one folder, containing three games. Not the stupid ones that you abandon after a few tries, more the ones that I’m likely to play over and over again.

Cut The Rope, Osmos and The Incident (by @mrgan, as it happens), if you must know.

It’s really easy with a load of free or cheap-as-free apps that you end up with a lot of very pretty but useless garbage on your phone, clogging up loads of memory and visual space.

I rather like it now. Fallen in love with my app launcher again.

Which, I will concede, is odd.
