You open one app to answer a message. An hour later you're still there. Screen Time shows you a limit. You tap "Ignore Limit" and it's gone. Willpower works until the first bad day. Deleting the app takes twenty seconds to undo. Unplug takes the way back away. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps that eat your day and set how many minutes you get. Press one button. From then on the list holds until midnight. There is no password to type and no button inside the app that hands them back early. WHEN A BLOCKED APP OPENS You see a wall, not a question. Other apps ask if you're sure. This one just closes them. LEVEL UP IN REAL LIFE Every day you hold your limit earns XP. XP moves you up levels and through ten ranks, from Rookie to Unplug King. Your streak counts the days you kept going. Badges and trophies for the things you actually did, not for opening the app. DO SOMETHING REAL Three small jobs a day. Go for a run, call someone, cook something. Take a photo when you are done and the app checks it. You get XP, and minutes back on your limit. WHAT ELSE IS IN IT Focus timer with ambient sounds that keep playing with the screen off. Lumis, an AI coach that reads your own numbers and writes you a plan. 66 short lessons on why your phone is built the way it is. Emergency Lock. One tap and every blocked app closes right now. Friends and a leaderboard, scored on what you do in the app. Breathing and grounding exercises for the moments you want to give in. A content filter for adult sites. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No ads. No tracking. Your screen time is read from iOS Screen Time and never leaves your device. FREE TO START Block apps and set a daily limit for free. Pro and Unlimited add more apps, Emergency Lock and the full course library. Requires iPhone with iOS 16 or later.
