Last App

Every app should be one button.

Press it and say what you want. AI agents do the work, and the screen only lights up when there's something to show you.

This is a normal app. You came here to pay one bill.

Every feature got its own button. Then the buttons got menus, and the menus got pop-ups.

An agent can do every one of those jobs now. So every one of them can go.

Everything still works. You just ask.

Four rules for every app from now on.

Yes, this page has a lot of words on it. They're for search engines and people in quiet rooms. Press the button and they all go away.

See the screens an app still needs: fingerprint, face, video, fullscreen and the rest.

One button

Every app opens to the same thing: a microphone. There's nothing to learn, because you already know how to ask for things. New features don't add clutter, since they don't add anything you can see.

Agents do the features

A feature used to be a screen you had to find. Now it's a job someone does for you. Say “move my dentist to Friday” and an agent reads your calendar, deals with the clinic and fixes the reminder.

  • Checked your Friday
  • Booked 2:30 with the clinic
  • Moved the reminder

The screen is for showing

The app stays blank until there's something worth looking at. Then it takes as much of the screen as it needs, whether that's a chart, a map, a photo or a contract. When you're done, it's gone.

A touch proves it's you

Nobody wants to read a password out loud. When the app needs proof, it asks your fingerprint scanner. If your device hasn't got one, a single password box pops up, and that's the only box you'll ever see.

One job, two ways.

The honest questions.

Isn't talking slower than tapping?
For one tap, sure. But nobody's job is one tap. Paying a bill is ten of them, and you still have to remember where they all are. A sentence is quicker than that, and you can say it with your hands full.
What about an open office, or a train?
Start typing and a text field pops up. It goes to the same agent and you get the same result. Voice is the front door, and the side door's always open.
What if I can't speak, or can't hear?
Everything the app says is also written on screen, and anything you could say, you can type. A plain sentence also works far better with a screen reader than a page of seventy small buttons does.
Do I have to say my password out loud?
Never. When the app needs proof it's you, it asks your fingerprint scanner. If your device hasn't got one, a single password box pops up on screen, and you type it there.
What if the agent gets it wrong?
Before anything that costs money or can't be undone, it shows you exactly what it's about to do and waits for a yes. Anything serious needs your touch as well.
What about apps you need to look at, like photos or maps?
Those get the whole screen. Take away the toolbars and there's more room for the photo. You can still point and pinch. You just stop hunting for the crop icon.
Does this work today?
The button on this page does. It checks real weather, exchange rates and Wikipedia, does math, writes drafts, runs timers, and keeps a list you can lock with your fingerprint. It isn't connected to your bank, so if you ask it to pay a bill it'll walk you through how that would go, and it'll tell you that no money moved.
What happens to what I say?
Your audio goes to a speech model and your words go to a language model, because that's how you get an answer. This site doesn't save either one. Your list stays in your own browser.

Enough reading.
Press it.
