Description

"I have much better sleep, and slower mornings." Sara P., Unpluq Customer
"I use the phone less during family rush hours (morning and evening), also to set a good example for them."
“I've been present at dinner, I'm not using my phone while driving, and I'm not scrolling my phone in the middle of the night.” - Kim Trinh, Unpluq Customer
"I read an entire book on Sunday, went to hot yoga, made a mushroom and endive galette, and finished my vision board in the week since I started using Unpluq." - Sarah S., Unpluq Customer

Unpluq helps you take control of your time, be mindful and digital detox from your phone. Turn your phone into a dumbphone when you want. By interrupting your automatic phone pickups, you'll recover time, focus, and attention by making a conscious choice to access apps. Use your phone on your terms. Unpluq customers save more than 1 hour and 26 minutes a day of screen time.*

How does it work?
Select which apps to block, and when. If you need to access a blocked app, make a conscious choice to open it by passing through an Unpluq Distraction Barrier–a digital key that makes you think twice and ensure you really do want to open that app.

Use Unpluq to:
- Block distracting apps and notifications–by default
- Choose what times you want apps blocked
- Choose only the apps you want to block
- Unblock apps by making a conscious decision with an Unpluq distraction barrier
- Select the distraction barrier you prefer, or go RANDOM to make it harder
- Choose how hard each distraction barrier is
- Block different apps on different schedules

Choose your distraction barrier:
- Shake your phone for some time
- Tap a random pattern of buttons
- Scroll through blank space
- Randomly pick one of the above barriers
- Scan a unique QR code
- Use your Unpluq Tag on your keychain

Block apps when you need to:
- Stay focused
- Focus during work
- Disconnect after hours
- Be present for family meals
- Avoid working on the weekends
- Study uninterrupted
- Be more mindful every day
- Sleep and rest well
- Stop phubbing
- Reduce stress
- Lower anxiety

Use your newly recovered free time to:
- See friends
- Workout
- Side hustle
- Read books

Unpluq helps you focus on what’s important in your life, without phone distraction. No more meals with family and friends staring at your phones.

Great to get you off social media

With the free version, you can only block 2 apps but I mostly had problems with two so it helped me get off social media. I still go every day to check messages but I'm down to maybe 30 minutes instead of 3hours because when you unblock apps it only unblocks for 5mins at a time.

Free Version is Completely Impractical

2 blocks allowed before having to pay is hardly worth it. There are far more than 2 distracting apps/websites on a smartphone. Quite unfortunate as this app had the potential to be a great one. Too bad it’s useful functionality is behind a paywall

Developer Response ,

Hi Ramon, To get the most out of the free app, I'd recommend you check your screen time usage and pick the two worst offenders listed there, that should help a lot. On average on the free version people save 35 minutes a day. You can also earn free months of premium by referring other users! As a small company of 3 people, we try to help as many people in the world as possible by offering this free version, but we do have to pay ourselves somehow! :)

I like it

Very good app could use some improvements. Changing the allowed unbloquing time should be double even triple locked. It’s too easy to change. Otherwise very good app.
