How to customize Fairphone Moments

Fairphone Moments lets you customize your minimalist home screen and notification rules to match your daily routines. Learn how to create custom moments, manage visible apps, and set allowed contact rules.

How to create a new moment

You can set up to six unique moments on your Fairphone.

Flip the physical switch down to launch Fairphone Moments.
Tap the action button located directly under the clock and date on your home screen to open the moment switcher.
Tap to create a custom moment from scratch, or select one of four pre-configured presets:
- Deep Focus: Pre-selects productivity apps for focused task completion.
- Journey: Pre-selects navigation and music apps for travel.
- Recharge: Pre-selects podcast and meditation apps for downtime.
- Quality Time: Pre-selects camera and photo apps for spending time with family and friends.
Tap the settings icon next to your selected moment in the moment switcher to adjust its name, icon, wallpaper, featured apps, and notification rules.

How to adjust visible apps and allowed contacts

Visible apps

Choose up to five apps to display on your moment launcher for quick access.
Work profile apps can be added and are marked with a work profile icon. If a work profile app is paused when opened, a pop-up prompt will ask if you want to unpause it.
Featuring an app on your home screen gives you quick access to open it, but does not allow the app to send notifications unless added to your notification rules.

Allowed contacts and app notifications

Allowed contacts: By default, notification rules permit only starred contacts. Messages and calls from contacts starred in your standard Android Contacts app will always break through paused notifications.
Contact rule priority: Contact rules take priority over app rules. If an allowed contact sends a message using an app like Signal (even if Signal is not on your allowed app list), the message will still go through.
Repeat callers: Enabled by default. If the same phone number calls twice within a 15-minute period, the second call will ring through regardless of contact inclusion rules. You can adjust this rule per moment.
Allowed app notifications: Add specific apps to your moment settings if you want to receive general push notifications from them while the moment is active.
