Qiz

A home screen for Android · in testing now

Your home screen, showing what's actually going on — then getting out of the way.

Qiz shows you who's waiting on a reply, what's next on your calendar, what's playing, whether it's going to rain, and where your parcel is, then opens the app that owns each of those things. It isn't a messenger, a mail client, or a music player. It's the surface where everything lands, so you stop opening six apps to find out whether anything happened.

Qiz is in closed testing on Google Play. Email and you'll get a tester invite; there's nothing to pay.

  • No account, no server
  • Nothing leaves your phone
  • Reads only apps you allow
  • Won't make things up
  • Six themes

What you see

One glance, then the app that owns it

  • Waiting messages, mail and deliveries — who's waiting on a reply and where the parcel is.
  • Your calendar, and when to leave.
  • Full controls for whatever is playing.
  • Weather now and hourly. Weather with no rain data says nothing, not "0%".
  • Scores, read from your own sports app.
  • Feeds you choose — Reddit, Bluesky, Hacker News, your own RSS with OPML import.
  • A list you can talk to or share anything into.
  • A deck of controls.

It reads notifications — only from apps you allow

You pick them one at a time, and nothing is read until you do. Everything stays on your phone: there's no account, no server, and nowhere for your data to be sent. Turn an app off and what it read is gone immediately.

It won't make things up

If a source stops working, Qiz says so instead of showing you something that looks real. You should be able to trust a glance.

Six themes

Pick the one that reads best on your phone, in your light.

Moves with you

Your whole setup exports to a file and moves to your next phone.
