Great idea and one that is needed now more than ever. I have tried self-discipline on the phone with various methods (unique folders, hiding folders, time limits, etc.) but never with a hard barrier. Unpluq provides the framework to create new habits and eliminate phone addiction, what is not to like?

Pros
+ supports behavior change (7)+ creates healthy habits (2)+ reduces screen time (13)

This is such a good idea! I heard elsewhere about the idea of breaking the immediate dopamine hit you get when you check Instagram/Twitter/TikTok. I love the idea of configurable real world checks to get in the way of that unhealthy loop.

Pros
+ physical gesture control (5)+ reduces social media usage (5)

I love the idea, but I love even more the headline: "Get another hour & 20 minutes in your day, every day". It's simple, yet so effective. I'm a happy early user of your app, and I wish you all the best for this launch. Hope it'll be a blast! 🔥

This is the first time in a while I've truly been like wow I LOVE this idea. I use a yubikey already for security purposes so I'm used to the keyfob to device relationship and I've never found apps to work well for blocking my screentime (too easy to just get around them). This would create an extra layer of consciousness before doomscrolling. Excited to watch you guys grow! Is there any times you find this particularly annoying to deal with regarding not being able to access something important?

Great product, easy to use with very positive impact. Eventhough I am a limited user of social media, even for me Unpluq limits me spending time at the wrong moments on non-urgent apps. I encourage everyone to try Unpluq and experience the benefits for yourself. To the team: thanks a lot and success with this wonderful product.

Pros
+ easy to use (2)+ reduces screen time (13)+ reduces social media usage (5)

Unpluq has been a great tool when I have to switch to a smartphone. While I use dumbphones most of the time, there are some days where I travel and need to switch to a smartphone. If I do that, I use Unpluq for sure :)

It's a fantastic app that saved me hours of wasted screen time. I am more present in conversation and my overall wellbeing is better.

I used all of the screen limited apps, but app only just doesn't do it for me. The physical barrier that Unpluq brings was the thing that did it for me.

Time is your most valuable asset and I just created 20+ hours per week.

Pros
+ reduces screen time (13)+ physical gesture control (5)+ time management (2)

Congratulations on the launch of a phenomenonal product that is exactly what most people need right now! It is easy to setup and to use! I was struggling with breaking the habit of compulsively looking at and staying on my phone and Unpluq is what helped me break the mental and physical habit. I feel like I'm starting to get back to a point in my life where I had a healthy and balanced relationship with my phone.

Pros
+ easy to use (2)+ supports behavior change (7)+ mindful phone usage (1)

This is the perfect tool to reclaim your time and boost your productivity! Even if you don't spend hours scrolling on social media, it's a great way to break the habit of just picking up your phone for a quick look at Instagram etc. My ability to get into, and stay in, a deep work state has massively improved. Vamos!

Pros
+ reduces screen time (13)+ improves productivity (1)+ enhances focus (5)+ reduces social media usage (5)

One of the most thoughtfully designed experiences out there. It's refreshing to have tech that helps reduce tech. And the physical design and feel of the little tag, very well done. I'm curious how other people have been using this.

Pros
+ reduces screen time (13)+ physical gesture control (5)
