Inutile car très facilement contournable et abandonné par le développeur

Une application qui est abandonné par le développeur, ça a fait un an qu’il n’y a pas eu de mises à jours. Aucun suivi, rien. Seul le service client réponds encore mais on se demande pendant combien de temps encore. La vice présidente de l’entreprise s’est barré. C’est souvent là que ça sent un peu le roussi.

Pour les petites dépendances aux écrans, ça peut aider et encore… les blocages sont très facilement contournables.

Pour les plus grosses dépendances aux écrans, c’est juste une passoire. En un clic, on peut désactiver les emplois du temps de blocage d’applications même en utilisant l’appli raccourcis d’IOS pour éviter les modifications, on peut quand même les modifier.

Je ne pense pas que ça vaille le coup, de payer pour avoir le Unplug tag car de toute façon, si vous l’avez sur vous… ou que vous le mettiez dans une autre pièce, si vous avez vraiment une dépendance, votre cerveau vous fera lever pour aller débloquer l’emploi du temps qui bloque l’application et si vous n’avez pas envie de vous levez, vous pouvez de toute façon le faire via l’application en un clic.

Ça serait bien juste de coder une page avec un code dessus et si il est pas entré, on peut rien modifier dans l’application sans ça, c’est une application qui sert à rien.

Pire application de contrôle de temps, je ne recommande absolument pas.

Frustrated

I have used Unpluq for a few years now and I really like it but for the past few months I have tried to edit my schedules and it’s almost impossible to add apps past the first few categories or search for them. Every time I try to scroll down to view more apps so I can add them to my schedule to block them, it freezes, says they can’t be loaded and to try searching them. If I try to search them the same thing happens. I get the same error for months now that Unpluq has been working with Apple to resolve the issue… and my schedules are still not what I want them to be. I click on the troubleshooting link and it also does nothing. So basically I am paying for a service that I can’t use properly.

Kickstarted then bait and switched!

I backed the kickstarter for this product a few years ago, only for them to run a subscription model AFTER funding — if that was part of the original plan, I definitely didn’t see it on their campaign. Now in 2025 you have “Brick” and “Bloom” both which work better and don’t have subscriptions. — I guess I’m thankful this industry of app blocking has grown, but Unpluq falls sadly behind.

Super app qui aide vraiment à reprendre le contrôle de son temps

Après avoir essayé beaucoup de méthodes pour réduire mon temps perdu à scroller, Unpluq et le tag ont été la première vraiment efficace pour retrouver l'intentionnalité d'utilisation tout en laissant assez de flexibilité. Seule chose qui manque pour moi, la possibilité d'avoir une durée de déblocage différente selon les programmes.

it’s a start

I really wanted something that would turn my iPhone into a brick that only runs music, podcasts and good old fashioned phone stuff. maybe a weather alert here & there. this isn’t it.
there’s a limit on this of 49 apps/websites/whatever. if I click to select everything on my phone, it says there are 600-something apps I’m trying to block.
first, I cannot even imagine what 600 things this app thinks it can see on my phone.
second - 49 would seem like enough but you have to block fb AND the website, insta AND the website. google AND all the little things that go with it. etc.
it’s just not worth it. I’m cancelling at the end of my year and finding an alternate solution.

FAQ

What does Unpluq do?

Unpluq helps you take control of your phone usage and reduce screen time. It allows you to block distracting apps and notifications during specific times, requiring you to pass through a 'Distraction Barrier' to access them. This conscious step helps you think twice before picking up your phone.

How does Unpluq help me focus?

By blocking distracting apps and notifications by default, Unpluq minimizes interruptions. The 'Distraction Barrier' mechanism makes accessing blocked apps a deliberate choice, encouraging more mindful phone usage. This helps you stay focused during work, study, or family time.

Is Unpluq free to use?

Unpluq offers a free version that allows you to block 2 apps and set 1 schedule. For more advanced features like unlimited app blocking, multiple schedules, and all barrier options including the Unpluq Tag, a premium subscription is available.

What kind of distraction barriers are available?

Unpluq offers several distraction barriers to make accessing blocked apps a conscious choice. These include shaking your phone for a set time, tapping a random pattern, scrolling through blank space, randomly picking a barrier, scanning a QR code, or using a physical Unpluq Tag.

How much screen time can I save with Unpluq?

Customers report saving an average of over 1 hour and 26 minutes of screen time per day. With Unpluq Premium, users can save up to twice as much time by utilizing more advanced features and unlimited blocking options.
