Easy Mode

Problem

Casual users and non-technical operators are overwhelmed by FlexGrid’s full feature set and just want a simple media wall.

Solution

Easy Mode hides advanced controls and reduces the interface to essential functions: open folder, grid size, play/pause, and shuffle. Toggle with Cmd+Shift+E. All Pro features remain active in the background but their UI is hidden.

UI Flow

  1. Press Cmd+Shift+E or enable via View > Easy Mode.
  2. The toolbar simplifies to: Open Folder, Grid Size, Play/Pause, Shuffle.
  3. Menus are reduced to basic operations.
  4. Press Cmd+Shift+E again to restore the full interface.

Tier Availability

Cross-tier: unlocked by any purchase (Plus or Pro).

Known Limitations

  • Keyboard shortcuts for hidden features still work; only UI elements are hidden.
  • Settings changes made in Easy Mode persist when switching back to full mode.

Marketing One-Liner

Simplify the interface to the essentials for non-technical users with one shortcut.
