About this app

Opening the same app without thinking? Unwind puts a line in front of the apps you choose. When one of them opens, a card comes up with a line on it. Trace it, slowly, to the end. Then a plain choice: open the app, or not now.

Unless you drew it, no line here has been seen before: each one is generated at the moment it interrupts you, and it is not a file anywhere.

Every trace you keep becomes a scale on a wall — the app’s home screen, a diary of the times you waited.

Cross out the apps that pull at you. Unwind is a calm app blocker for your screen time: no password, no lecture, just a moment of focus before the app opens. Everything else on your phone stays exactly as it is.

Draw your own line, and it is dealt like the rest. Send it to a friend; theirs can come to your deck.

There is no account, no server and no ads. The accessibility service Unwind asks for learns only which app has come to the front — never what is on the screen. Unwind never sends what you trace anywhere.

One payment. Forever. No subscription. And if you skip it, blocking simply pauses — your phone is never held hostage.

What’s new

Unwind now speaks German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and French.
Before Android's accessibility settings open, Unwind now says why it needs Accessibility, and you answer “Agree” or “Not now”.
The line never covers the lock screen or a call, and many smaller things are fixed.
