Unpluq helps you take control of your time, be mindful and minimize your phone usage. Turn your phone into a dumb phone when you want it to be one. By interrupting your habit loop of picking up the phone, youll recover time, focus, and attention by making a conscious choice to access apps. Use your phone on your terms. Unpluq customers save more than 1 hour and 22 minutes a day of screen time.* Try it for a week (for free) and see how it changes your life!

How does it work?
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.

Use Unpluq to:
- Block distracting apps and notifications–by default
- Choose what times you want apps blocked
- Choose only the apps you want to block
- Unblock apps by making a conscious decision with an Unpluq distraction barrier
- Select the distraction barrier you prefer, or go RANDOM to make it harder
- Choose how hard each distraction barrier is
- Block different apps on different schedules

Choose your distraction barrier:
- Shake your phone for some time
- Tap a random pattern of buttons
- Scroll through blank space
- Randomly pick one of the above barriers
- Scan a unique QR code
- Use your Unpluq Tag on your keychain

Block apps when you need to:
- Stay focused
- Focus during work
- Disconnect after hours
- Be present for family meals
- Avoid working on the weekends
- Study uninterrupted
- Be more mindful every day
- Sleep and rest well
- Reduce stress
- Lower anxiety

Use your newly recovered free time to:
- See friends
- Workout
- Side hustle like a boss
- Learn a new language

Unpluq helps you focus on what’s important in your life, without phone distraction. No more meals with family and friends staring at your phones.
