icon Entropy's Defiance is a minimalist Android launcher and task manager built around
five time horizons: Today, This Week, This Month,
This Year and This Life. Tasks are stored in plain JSON, so they
sync cleanly with Syncthing or any folder-sync tool, and a small terminal UI is
available for editing the same file from a Linux laptop.

Features
* Time-horizon task list — swipe between horizons, peek at what's next
* Minimalist home screen with a focused task view
* App drawer with frequency-ranked apps and instant text search
* Optional double-tap to launch the dialer
* Calendar widget with free-time calculation across selected calendars
* Zen Mode for distraction-free focus on a single task
* Plain-JSON storage that syncs over Syncthing
* Interactive in-app tutorial — replayable from Settings → Introduction

Permissions
* Query all packages — needed to list installed apps in the drawer
* Read calendar — only used for the calendar widget; you can deny it
* Set wallpaper — used by the launcher to restore your wallpaper
* Bind device admin — only requested if you opt in to Zen Mode's
Do Not Disturb integration

The app is offline-first and contains no trackers, no analytics, and no ads.

WhatsNew:

Fixed tasks vanishing on a fresh install: a storage location is now requested up front, right after the welcome, so created tasks are saved and shown from the start. Added system back-button support on the task creation screen and made its back arrow clearly visible.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
