I'm looking for a launcher with some unusual features

[Kayza]

I don't know if this is the right place, but I can't seem to find a better spot for this. If I missed something, I apologize and will move it over if someone points me in the right direction.

I want to get a phone for someone, but I'm not sure that it's going to work well for them. I think that for this person to use the phone omfortably, they need something that looks something like Windows Phone.

What I mean is that I would set it up with a set of tiles with the contact information of a few people that she calls regularly so she can just tap and it calls. And also a tile with a picture of a phone to get into the dialer.

I need to hide pretty much everything else.

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks!

PS I know that I'm going to have to choose the right phone, no matter what the launcher is. That will be my next step, if I find something appropriate.

Huawei and Honor phones have a 'Simple Mode' that can change the launcher UI to a more basic look with larger fonts etc and you can add contacts as well as apps to the home screens too. Here's an example on my Huawei Mate 10 Pro to give you an idea.

Here it is

This looks like what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm not sure I want to go with Huawei at this point, though. I'd say there is a good chance they are going to wind up like ZTE, which I don't really want to deal with here.

You could take a look at launchers like Big, Wiser, Large and such. They are oriented for seniors and kids and include many features to make it as simple as it gets.

This sounds like what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Samsung phones also have a simplish mode too that may be appropriate for those seeking a simpler imterface.

I wasn't that impressed with the "simple" interface, at least for this purpose.
