Untap — Take Control of Your Time

Tired of losing hours to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other brain-rotting apps? Unrot puts you back in control with a simple, beautiful shield that makes you pause before mindlessly scrolling.

How It Works
When you open a controlled app, Unrot shows a calm pause shield with a countdown timer. This brief delay breaks the autopilot habit loop and gives your brain a chance to decide — do you really want to open this right now?

Key Features

Pause Shield — Configurable delay (5–60 seconds) before you can open distracting apps. Enough friction to break the habit, not enough to frustrate you.

Session Timer — Set how long you're allowed to use each app per session. When time's up, the shield returns.

Focus Time — Schedule distraction-free hours. During focus mode, controlled apps are completely blocked.

Math Challenge — Optionally require solving a math problem to open an app. Great for extra friction when you need it.

Hard Lock — Completely block specific apps with no way to bypass.

Screen Time Tracking — See your real daily usage at a glance — total screen time and controlled app time, with clean donut charts.

Per-App Stats — Track how many times you opened each app and how long you used it today.

Pause for 1 Hour — Need a break from protection Temporarily disable it with one tap.

Weekly Reports — Understand your usage patterns over time.

Why Unrot?

Apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat employ teams of engineers optimizing for one thing: keeping you hooked. Infinite scroll, variable rewards, streak mechanics — these are designed to hijack your attention. Unrot is designed to give it back.

Required Permissions:

4. Battery Optimization: To let Untap run reliably in the background so protection keeps working.

Best app the first one I ever tried and got best result with it decreased my screen time from 10 hours to 4-5 hours literally definitely you should go for it 🫶🏻👍🏻

very very good app for focusing on study. I tried some other apps as well but this one works very well. It really keeps me out of distraction. ❤️

i just like the app. but the pro membership is rather expensive.
