## What is Unfried?

Unfried is a screen time app and an app blocker that gives you a reason to keep it switched on. Block the apps that eat your day, set a daily screen time limit, and keep a fry alive with the hours you win back.

Every minute on the apps you track (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X) drains your fry's health. Put the phone down, do something you love, and its health comes back. The bar refills every morning, so one bad day never follows you into the next.

Let the bar hit zero and your fry collapses. Your tracked apps block themselves and stay blocked until you step away. It cannot die for good, but a collapse wipes the streak you built. So you heal it before then.

Doomscrolling fries your brain. Keep your fry unfried and you keep yourself unfried too.

ONE TAP TO BLOCK APPS AND FOCUS
There is no list to pick from and nothing to configure. Tap Unfry and a focus session starts right away. Your apps stay blocked the whole time, so being present is the deal, not a suggestion. The longer you stay off, the more health your fry gets back.

THREE WAYS TO BLOCK APPS
Your apps are open by default. You block them on your terms:
- Unfry. One tap blocks your distracting apps while you go do something you love.
- Schedules. Block apps on a set window, like bedtime, work hours or focus hours.
- Overheat. Your fry steps in on its own and blocks apps for a short cool-down when you have been scrolling non stop.
A blocked app has no escape on its own screen. You ease a block from inside Unfried, never from the block screen.

You pick your daily screen time limit when you set up, from a strict 30 minutes to a relaxed 2 hours. The tighter the limit, the faster the bar drains.

WHY THIS APP BLOCKER WORKS WHEN OTHERS FAIL
Most app blockers are one tap to ignore. Unfried gives you something to lose: a fry with a name, an age, and a streak that took real days to build. You arm the guardrails yourself, and turning one off is never instant. That pause between the impulse and the app is the whole point.

Friction beats willpower.

YOUR SCREEN TIME IN PLAIN NUMBERS
See today's minutes on every app you track. Then open Progress for the question you installed this for: is my screen time actually going down. 
This week's daily average against last week's, a 14 day chart with your goal line on it, and the longest break you have taken. The receipts, never a shame report.

A HAT FOR EVERY DAY YOU KEEP IT ALIVE
Open the app on any day your fry is alive and claim a box. 
The better boxes land later in the week, so a week you finish is worth more than a week you start. 
Skip a day and that day's box is gone.

Hats come out of those boxes across five rarity tiers, each with its own personality and dialogue. Your fry keeps its hat even through a collapse.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays on your phone. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Your screen time data never leaves your device.
