About this app

Unpluq helps you focus and feel better by recovering your time. Reduce your screen time by stopping your habit of picking up your phone–and stop scrolling. Recover your time, focus, and attention by making a conscious choice every time you want to access an app. The average Unpluq customer saves more than 1 hour and 22 minutes a day of screen time.* Try it free for a week and see how it changes your life!

NOTE ON TRUST: The vast majority of free apps survive and pay for their costs (development and operations) by selling your data and showing you ads. Unpluq does NOT show you ads and it does NOT sell your data.

❓How Unpluq Works
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. To open blocked apps, you need to take a walk, shake your phone, follow a random pattern by tapping, charge your phone, or use the Unpluq Tag keyfob (the most effective barrier).

Choose Your Distraction Barrier 🚧 –and make it as hard as you want
- Take a walk/steps
- Shake your phone
- Tap a random pattern of buttons
- Scroll through space
- Random barrier

The Unpluq Tag 🟨
Already have an Unpluq Tag? Pair your Tag with the app. The NFC powered yellow Tag fits on your keychain and works with your app. Science like Rational Override Theory shows that this physical ritual to get virtual control of your phone is the most effective way to change your screen time habits.

*The average Unpluq customer in March 2023 saves 78 minutes a day.

Unpluq vs Opal
Unpluq is different from Opal: our focus is habit change to reduce screen time instead of only helping you focus. Our unique barriers that are different than Opal, like steps, or the physical Unpluq Tag-- it taps into the science behind habit change, and is the most effective way to reduce screen time.

Unpluq vs AppBlock
Unpluq is different from AppBlock: free and paid subscriptions have different limits, app blocking uses different unblocking options, including the physical Unpluq Tag patented by Unpluq. Different from Appblock, the Tag taps into habit change to stop scrolling.

Privacy🔒
We care about your privacy and take steps to protect it. Unpluq does not sell or share your data–personal or not. Having our customer’s with privacy in mind and protecting them is one of our core values. See Privacy Policy: https://www.unpluq.com/pages/privacy

Ratings and reviews

I'm rating this app only 3 stars because of three big things. 1. This is not a completely free app, although there is a very limited but free option if you don't want to pay. 2. The app is a little buggy. It doesn't turn on/off when scheduled all the time. It doesn't block an app or doesn't let you in after you bypass the lock sometimes. Also the statistic for how much time is saves isn't accurate either. 3. This app does collect and share your cookies and app usage with 3rd parties.

Finally. That's what I said when I tried Unpluq for the first time. I've tried so many different screen time apps, but they were all either buggy or too easy to bypass. Unpluq is neither; it actually WORKS. You can't bypass it without disabling the necessary permissions (and even then, there are blocks to prevent that as well). I signed up for the 1 week free trial, but by day 3 I was sold, and my tag is in the mail. If you're looking for an app to help control your screen time, this is it.

I love this app to the point that im willing to subscribe. But it's not giving me the option. Every time I try to go premium, it keeps buging the app. I have no idea how to get my subscription anymore. Even through the computer, the site only takes orders with the tag, which I don’t want to buy. Even if I wanted to buy it, it says free shipment globally in 2 weeks, but it doesn't give the option of the country I want to ship it to.
