❓How Unpluq Works
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. To open blocked apps, you need to take a walk, shake your phone, follow a random pattern by tapping, charge your phone, or use the Unpluq Tag keyfob (the most effective barrier).

Choose Your Distraction Barrier 🚧 –and make it as hard as you want
- Take a walk/steps
- Shake your phone
- Tap a random pattern of buttons
- Scroll through space
- Random barrier
- Scan a unique QR code
- Use your Unpluq Tag on your keychain

Unpluq vs Opal
Unpluq is different from Opal: our focus is habit change to reduce screen time instead of only helping you focus. Our unique barriers that are different than Opal, like steps, or the physical Unpluq Tag-- it taps into the science behind habit change, and is the most effective way to reduce screen time.

Unpluq vs AppBlock
Unpluq is different from AppBlock: free and paid subscriptions have different limits, app blocking uses different unblocking options, including the physical Unpluq Tag patented by Unpluq. Different from Appblock, the Tag taps into habit change to stop scrolling.

worked to reduce my scrolling habits during work hours immediately. I'm only using free version for now but may upgrade in future

I got the unpluq tag. Works really well and support was great. My brain is already starting to be less anxious and I'm feeling good about it!
by Isaac Hoverson, 2024-10-26

solid app, free version is quite limited though. I'll def pay for it if they make a desktop version, letting you block specific games/websites.
