About this app

Untap — Take Control of Your Screen Time

Tired of losing hours to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other distracting apps? Untap is a powerful digital wellbeing app and app blocker designed to break your phone addiction, stop mindless scrolling, and boost your daily productivity.

How Untap Works
When you try to open a blocked or controlled app, Untap deploys a calm, customizable pause shield with a countdown timer. This brief delay introduces mindful friction, shattering your autopilot habit loop and giving your brain a conscious choice: Do you really want to open this right now?

Key Focus & Productivity Features
• Pause Shield: Set a configurable delay (5–60 seconds) before distracting apps open. Just enough friction to stop doomscrolling without inducing frustration.
• Session Timer: Control your daily limits. Set exact time limits for each social or gaming session. When time runs out, the focus shield locks it back down.
• Strict Focus Mode: Schedule completely distraction-free hours for studying or work. Block toxic notifications and keep your brain in a deep focus flow state.
• Dopamine Detox Challenges: Need an extra shield? Require solving a quick math challenge or puzzle to unlock apps when you need strict discipline.
• Hard Lock & Strict Mode: Lock yourself completely out of specific addictive apps with zero bypass options for ultimate productivity.
• Visual Screen Time Tracker: Monitor your real digital habits at a glance. View beautifully designed donut charts showing your overall screen time activity and controlled app stats.
• Detailed Analytics: Review weekly focus reports to trace which platforms hijack your attention and map out your self-improvement progress.

Why Choose Untap over other App Blockers?
Modern social media algorithms are engineered to keep you hooked with infinite scroll and variable dopamine rewards. Untap gives you your attention span back. It works silently in the background as your personal study timer, habit tracker, and focus companion.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE API DISCLOSURE
Untap uses the AccessibilityService API to function effectively as an app blocker and focus tool.
• Purpose: We use this service solely to detect when you attempt to open or use a distracting app that you have selected for control. This allows the app to deploy the pause shield, block access, and enforce your session timers.
• Data Privacy: Untap does not collect, monitor, store, or share any personal data, text inputs, or browsing history via the Accessibility Service. All operations happen strictly on your local device.

Take back your time, cure your screen addiction, and stay disciplined today. Download Untap and reclaim your focus!

The app is really good and it keeps me away from things that distract me but I honestly prefer how it worked before the last update. Before, I could turn on focus mode and I couldn’t turn it off until the selected time was complete and that helped me stay disciplined. Now I can easily turn it on and off and that kind of defeats the whole purpose for me.

Hi Tama, That really makes sense. We’ll bring back the Strict Focus Mode feature in the next update. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. Please let us know if there’s any other feature you’d like to see improved or if you have any suggestions. You can send feedback anytime through the app’s Feedback section.

Untap is amazing for focus. As a feature request, it would be awesome to have the ability to set a subtle wallpaper or background where the apps are listed, instead of just a solid black screen. It would add a nice touch of customization without ruining the minimalist vibe. Keep up the great work!

Hi Mora, thank you for reporting this issue. We’ve noticed this can happen on some Realme, OPPO, and Xiaomi devices, where the system stop background services due to battery or security optimizations, even when permissions are enabled. We’re actively working on this issue and aiming to fix it in upcoming updates.

• Added a setting to disable popup permissions
