## What is UNLOOP?

Your phone isn't the problem. The loop is.

You open an app for one thing and surface forty minutes later. Unloop puts a wall in that loop — a real one, built on Apple's Screen Time — and makes getting past it cost exactly enough to make you stop and think.

BLOCK WHAT EATS YOUR DAY
• Pick the apps, categories and websites that pull you in.
• Block them on a schedule — evenings, mornings, work hours — or all the time.
• Set a daily usage limit: when an app has had its minutes, the shield comes up for the rest of the day.
• Need a clean hour right now? Block Now starts a timed block in one tap, with a countdown on your Lock Screen.

UNLOCKING COSTS SOMETHING
Most blockers have an off switch one tap away. Unloop doesn't.
• Choose how firm each rule is: Soft asks once, Firm makes you hold, Strict makes you earn it.
• Earn a few minutes, not an off switch: unlock for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and the shield comes back on its own.
• Every unlock today costs double the one before, and each rule has a daily limit. "Just once more" gets expensive fast.

UNLOCK RITUALS
Strict rules ask for a ritual before they open:
• Hold — keep your thumb down, no shortcuts.
• Transcribe — retype a phrase exactly. One typo and you start over.
• Breathe — a minute of paced breathing, then decide again.
• Walk — steps buy minutes. 20 steps for every minute you want.
• Intention — say why you're opening it, then look at the answer.
• Wait — a minute of nothing. Most urges don't last that long.

EVERY "GO BACK" COUNTS
The shield keeps score. "You've backed off 3 times today. Make it 4." Walking away from an unlock counts as a win and earns stamps — because resisting is the point, not a failure.

SEE THE PATTERN
• Time you took back, estimated screen time, streaks and your resistance rate over the last two weeks.
• Why you unlock, week over week — "bored" looks different on a chart.
• How your mood tracks your focused days.
• What the scrolling costs you in a year, in hours you could spend on something else.
• A weekly receipt of your week, ready to share.

REPLACE THE SCROLL
Log what you did instead — walked, read, cooked, called someone — and rate the day with one tap in the evening. It all stays in a journal on your phone.

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your status and streak.
• A Live Activity while a block runs.
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Block for a while."
• Notifications only about things you set up — a limit reached, a block ending, a strict rule about to start. No streak nagging. No "we miss you."
