❓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).

- Take a walk/steps
- Shake your phone
- Tap a random pattern of buttons
- Scroll through space

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.

Ratings and reviews

This app was almost perfect for my use case, which is to block apps. A feature I would like is a "cooldown" when the app is configured to end Full mode after a set amount of time. Once the time expires, it'll prevent you from switching to full mode for a set time. As other people stated, there should be more clarification about the free plan. I also feel that the 2 app limit is too restrictive and should be changed to around 5 apps

I've tested an uncountable number of these distraction blocking apps/methods and this app has been the best for me. It has all the features I want, great barriers, and usually just works. The team is super communicative as well and has helped me resolve issues quickly. On average, I save about 3-4 hours a day using this, so definitely worth the premium cost for me.

This app is awesome! It reeeeeaaaalllllyyyy helps a lotttt to reduce time waste! My schedule is set for 24h/7days. And I'm saving 2 to 3hrs per day. Yes, you read that right, 2 to 3 hrs minimum per day on absolutely useless stuff (such as social media ......... I mean... Sure... Cat videos are fun to watch but do you need 2 to 3 hrs of it per day?)
