SAN FRANCISCO — A local startup announced Tuesday that it has definitively solved the problem of having too many apps by releasing a new app that consolidates all your other apps into one app, which users can download alongside their existing apps.
"We realized people were overwhelmed by the number of apps on their phones," said CEO Brendan Holtz, speaking from a standing desk surrounded by four monitors, each displaying a different app. "So we built one app to rule them all. You just open our app, and from there you can access all your other apps. It's seamless."
The app, called Unify, requires users to grant it access to all other apps on their device in order to function. It also requires a monthly subscription of $14.99, a separate subscription for the "Pro" tier that unlocks the ability to access more than three apps through Unify, and a one-time setup fee described in the terms of service as "nominal."
Early reviews have been mixed. "I now have 47 apps plus Unify," wrote one user. "I'm not sure this is fewer apps." The company responded that this user was "not using Unify correctly" and directed them to a 47-minute onboarding video.
The startup has raised $12 million in Series A funding. Investors cited the "massive untapped market of people who have too many apps and would like one more app to manage them." spoofdaily — the spoofdaily perspective on the tech industry's relationship with its own problems is that the solution is always another product.
Holtz said the company is already working on Unify Pro, which will consolidate all your Unify subscriptions into one subscription.
