In conversation with Munich startups: Day 2 at Bits & Pretzels

No startup fair without founders: We visited the startup exhibition at this year's Bits & Pretzels to talk to some young Munich entrepreneurs about their ideas and impressions.

The topic of mobile phone use is likely a constant pain for many Bits & Pretzels visitors—and beyond. By the time the weekly report appears on the screen, some people are regularly promising to improve. A startup founded in 2022 presents a solution that could really help. Minimalist Phone at this year's Bits & Pretzels. Once installed, the minimalist app changes the phone's user interface so that the icons disappear. “When the icons are no longer visible, you no longer open apps like Instagram without thinking.”, explains founder Martin Moravek in conversation with Munich Startup. The app also has other features designed to make life more difficult for mobile phone users in a positive way: the usage times of individual apps can be restricted, apps can be blocked for longer periods, or displayed only in black and white – which makes image-driven apps like Instagram significantly less attractive. The Minimalist Phone founder primarily expects Bits to draw more attention to the topic of mobile phone use – and, of course, to his startup as well. (Photo: Munich Startup)
