Block Apps & Stay Focused
Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases

Do you ever reach for your phone without even thinking?
unhookd helps you break that habit by flipping the screen-time model on its head.
Instead of letting distracting apps be free all day, unhookd blocks them by default and lets you choose—intentionally—when to access them.
Built for people who value their time and focus: top-performers, founders, students, creatives, professionals—anyone else who's tired of their phone hijacking their attention.
How it works
- Default-Locked Apps: The moment you install unhookd, your chosen distracting apps stay blocked by default (24/7)
- Slots: Create recurring events to specify when apps become available- like scheduling meetings, but for the apps you want to unhook from.
- Peeks: Need to check something outside your slot? Take a quick “peek,” set a timer, choose a reason, and get mindful access.
- Healthy Friction: Add a short pause, a breathing exercise, or a gratitude check before opening an app - to turn impulses into choices.
- Insights & Score: Understand when, why, and how often you peek. Build awareness of your usage and set targets to keep you accountable.
Why unhookd?
All screen-time apps: Apps always available → You decide when to block
unhookd: Apps blocked by default → You decide when to access
That shift changes everything. Instead of fighting temptation all day, you start from a calm, distraction-free baseline and unlock access only when it serves you.
Focus becomes the default state. And you don’t need more willpower, just better defaults.
Use unhookd if you want to:
- stop opening Instagram or TikTok “just to check”
- protect deep work and study time
- reduce phone-induced stress and mental clutter
- be more present with family, friends, and in real life
- actually follow the rules you set for yourself
Real Results
"I’ve been using unhookd for a couple weeks now, and it has been amazing! I only use it for social media, and it has taken my daily average from 3.5 hours down to only 20 minutes a day! Works wonders for me, thank you." - JP Boyd, unhookd beta user
If your phone is stealing hours from your day, unhookd gives you structure without feeling like punishment.
Start today.

Use your phone with intention, not habit.
