The Best

I’ve tried many screen time apps but nothing comes close to this one.

Controlling access is way more powerful than controlling when to block.

Response from developer

Thank you! That's what we think too ;)

Insta Detox

Life-changing app!

I’ve tried countless screen time apps before, but they all felt annoying or too strict. Unhookd is different - it actually helps without making you feel guilty. The reminders are gentle, and the insights make you realize just how much time you’re wasting without being preachy.

What I like most is how customizable it is. You can pick which apps to limit, schedule focus times, or set slots for when you just want a break. After about a week, I noticed my screen time dropped by over 30%, and I’ve been way more focused (and less zombie-scrolling before bed 😅).

I honestly love this app and I highly recommend anyone who’s trying to cut back on screen time to give it a try.
