## Unpluq Description
&quot;I have much better sleep, and slower mornings.&quot; Sara P., Unpluq Customer
&quot;I use the phone less during family rush hours (morning and evening), also to set a good example for them.&quot;
“I&#039;ve been present at dinner, I&#039;m not using my phone while driving, and I&#039;m not scrolling my phone in the middle of the night.” - Kim Trinh, Unpluq Customer
&quot;I read an entire book on Sunday, went to hot yoga, made a mushroom and endive galette, and finished my vision board in the week since I started using Unpluq.&quot; - Sarah S., Unpluq Customer

Unpluq helps you take control of your time, be mindful and digital detox from your phone. Turn your phone into a dumbphone when you want. By interrupting your automatic phone pickups, you&#039;ll 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 26 minutes a day of screen time.* 

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
- Stop phubbing
- Reduce stress
- Lower anxiety 

Use your newly recovered free time to:
- See friends
- Workout
- Side hustle
- Read books

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.

The Unpluq Tag 
Do you have an Unpluq Tag? Pair your Tag with your Unpluq app anytime to save more time. The NFC powered yellow Tag fits on your keychain and works with your app. Science like Rational Override Theory shows that this physical ritual to get virtual control of your phone is the most effective way to change your screen time habits. 

*The average Unpluq customer in May 2023 saves 1 hour 22 minutes a day.

## Unpluq Reviews in United States

### ***** "😀 SO GREAT"
Super awesome it keep me from all of the bad addictive things on my phone I feel sooooooo much better about being on my phone it blocks all the bad stuff and works great❤️THANK U UNPLUQ!!!!!!!!
-- SlayQueen20713, 2025-01-04

### ***** "Helps you put your phone down"
when I unlock my phone I usually immediately go to instagram without thinking, but now I see Instagram is greyed out and can’t be opened (without opening unpluq to unlock it). I set the time to lock instagram 10.30am-7pm. When I see it locked I am reminded that I should not waste my time there. Then I immediately put my phone down. For someone who has a phone addiction this is extremely helpful. I appreciate how I can use this feature for free.
-- Ash86330, 2025-01-03

### *---- "Do Not Buy - Scam"
Don’t put your money into this. It’s a poor product. Obviously this sort of app is only as effective as you are disciplined, but the point of having it is to develop discipline. You can’t do that if it suddenly stops working. I have to manually go in and reactivate it because the restrictions just stop. This has been happening for awhile and you just don’t care anymore and just go back to your old habits. I have the schedule set up and tailored as well as I can with it’s limited options but the app is just broken. 

Sad to see my money went down the drain. I’ll be trying other free ones. I needed the paid subscription because I have a lot of apps I use, but it just wasn’t worth it
-- FredTeesome, 2024-12-24

### ***** "Anti Procrastination"
This app, though restricted if you don’t have the premium version, is amazing. The system makes it so that you have to make a conscious decision to open a distracting app. It closes it automatically on a timer which helps me not to loose track of time. Overall very good for maximizing work flow as advertised.
-- the gammer with an opinion, 2024-12-04

### **--- "Got buggy since iOS 18"
This was a great app until iOS 18. It often doesn’t block my apps. Sometimes while they are blocked, I go in to the app and the unlock doesn’t work. Often the app is a blank black screen upon opening. 
Please improve! And also, stop trying to get me to invest in your company while your app is so broken.
-- liveabetterstory, 2024-11-19

### ***** "5 stars"
This is such an amazing app, I’ve tried other ones but they aren’t quit right! I went from 7 hours on my phone to 1 maybe 2
-- It’s Emma, 2024-11-14

### *---- "Not worth it"
The biggest problem is that the apps I block don’t unblock unless I go in the app and disable it. I have 2 apps I block from 9-5. But at 6:30 they are still blocked. Also when I go to disable it I go to instagram and my videos won’t load or buffer. Also have never had an issue until I downloaded this app. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.
-- Bre_sapp2018, 2024-11-13

### ***** "Very effective - custom QR codes would be nice"
I&#039;ve really enjoyed how much this has helped reduce my social media use. 

One feature is wish for is the ability to customize unblocking to only accept specific QR codes. For example, creating a QR code for &quot;wake up&quot; would be assigned to my morning schedule. That way I&#039;d have to scan the &quot;wake up&quot; QR code at my kitchen table to successfully unblock my morning schedule. This would be a force multiplier on the effectiveness of the blocking and aid in new habit formation

The reason this is important is currently one can scan any QR code to unblock, preventing the possibility of unique location unblocking.
-- aski3, 2024-10-25

### ***-- "Re: Today’s update is a disaster"
Fix it right away please

I’m updating to three stars because we’re working on it via email. I hope you get this fixed even though it’s “iOS infrastructure”. What matters to me is that I paid for the app, not that the problems aren’t yours. Looking forward to speedy resolution.
-- mattbeams, 2024-10-15

### **--- "Holy glitches, Batman"
I am a lifetime subscriber. I signed up for the lifetime option because, in the beginning, everything seemed to be exactly what I needed. However, it has been glitching terribly over the last few months. I use the tag and walk away to take care of my kids, the dogs, whatever, and discover that the apps are not unblocked even though I have minutes of unblocked time counting down. 
Temp disable a schedule? Nope. Sorry. You’re stuck.
