About

Unloop

Your phone didn't make you weak. It trained you. Every cue, every reflex open, every 2 a.m. scroll is a loop that learned to run without you. Unloop untrains it. Instead of another willpower fight you keep losing, Unloop turns quitting doomscrolling into a clear, science-backed plan. HOW IT WORKS - Map your loops. Pick the apps your thumbs open on autopilot. Each becomes a "loop" with its own habit-strength score. - Block them for real. Unloop uses Apple Screen Time to shield the apps you choose, during focus sessions, scheduled hours, or a strict lock you can't quietly undo. - Survive the urge. A blocked app simply does not open. Walk away and it counts. Under the strict lock, a 90-second pause stands between you and the scroll. - Follow the 66-day plan. A personalized plan weakens each loop a little more every day, built from your own answers. - Watch the scores fall. Honest numbers, one nightly report, and shareable certificates as loops fade. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Blocking alone fails, because you just turn it off. Unloop pairs the block with friction, timing, and a plan, the way habits actually break. It treats you like an adult running an experiment on yourself, not a child with a timer. BUILT HONEST - No ads. Ever. - We don't sell your data. - Your Screen Time usage never leaves your device. - Cancel anytime in Settings. FEATURES - Per-app blocking through Apple Screen Time (you choose the apps) - Focus sessions, scheduled blocked hours, and strict lock - Buddy keys, so a friend helps hold you to the plan - The shield on every open, with the 90-second pause under strict lock - Habit-strength scores and one honest nightly report - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Mindful Minutes written to Apple Health (write-only: Unloop never reads your Health data) - Works on iPhone and Apple Watch Diagnosis is free: keep watching your loops at no cost, forever. Unloop membership unlocks unlimited blocking, the full 66-day plan, strict lock, and every tool above. SUBSCRIPTION Unloop offers auto-renewable subscriptions: - Weekly - Yearly, with a 3-day free trial for new members Or unlock Unloop once with Lifetime (one-time purchase). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
