## What is Untap?

Make space for studying, work and life beyond your phone. Untap helps you limit screen time, block distracting apps and choose more deliberately when to open social media.

PROTECT YOUR FOCUS HOURS
Choose the days and times you want to keep for studying, work or reading. Restrict selected apps during those hours. Use the available strict settings when you want a firmer boundary, and review your rules before starting.

LIMIT THE REST OF YOUR DAY
Set how many times you can open an app each day and how long each session can last. Lock settings to make impulsive changes harder. Combine focus hours with daily opening limits and session caps.

QUIZ YOURSELF BEFORE YOU SCROLL
Turn an unlock into a study check. Upload a PDF or photos of your notes, or enter a topic, to create quiz questions. Answer a question correctly before opening the selected app. Use the pause to review what you are learning rather than jump straight into a feed.

READ A PAGE OR TAKE A PAUSE
Choose an available reading passage before opening an app, then decide whether to continue reading or unlock. Or add a short waiting period to interrupt automatic app checking.

UNDERSTAND YOUR SCREEN TIME
See your daily screen time, most-used apps and protection streak. Review your habits and adjust your limits as your routine changes.

FOR STUDY AND EVERYDAY FOCUS
Protect revision time, keep social media breaks within a limit and make room for projects, books and offline plans. Untap provides controls for the boundaries you choose; results depend on your settings and use.

GET STARTED
Select the apps you want to control, authorize the required Screen Time access and set your schedule and limits. Some features require a paid plan; review the options and prices shown in the app.

PRIVACY AND QUIZ GENERATION
Untap uses Apple’s Screen Time API. App blocking runs on your device. If you upload study files for quizzes, those files are sent to Google’s Gemini AI to generate quiz questions. Quiz generation is separate from on-device app blocking.

### 4/5 — Mainly works but…

*2026-03-13*

This does help me get off YouTube and stop scrolling but you can just change the amount of time you have to watch, and how many opens you have, to a big number. Unless you can control yourself get something a little more strict

**Developer response:** Thank you so much your feedback! 
Based on your suggestion, Strict Mode has been implemented and will be available in the next update. I really appreciate your input.
