Part 23: FAQ

177. Frequently Asked Questions

Does Minimaa drain my battery? No. Minimaa is designed to be incredibly lightweight. By using OLED-friendly dark themes and removing heavy app animations, Minimaa often improves battery life compared to stock launchers.

Can I use custom icon packs? Minimaa fundamentally rejects icons to reduce visual distraction. If you use a layout that permits icons (like the Essential layout), the system focuses on typography and minimal scaling, avoiding third-party icon packs to maintain the clean aesthetic.

Is my data synced to the cloud? No. Minimaa operates completely offline. Your journal entries, screen time data, and app configurations remain securely on your local device.
