Unhook blocks your apps until you earn access back. Brainrot is real. The endless scroll, the dopamine loop, the hour you lost without noticing, your brain didn't break itself. The apps did that. Every timer you've set, every app you've deleted, every "I'll stop tomorrow" - none of it stuck. Because restriction without reward never does. Unhook fixes the trade. THE DEAL Complete real habits. Earn Cells. Spend Cells to unlock your apps. 1 Cell = 1 minute of screen time. You earned it. No guilt. FEATURES - Cells economy - earn, save, spend your screen time - App blocking - real blocking - Photo verification - on-device AI, never uploaded - Step counting - walks that count - Focus timer - every minute of effort earns its keep - Streak milestones - consistency pays more - Stats and history - see yourself actually improving WHY IT ACTUALLY WORKS Most apps bet on your guilt. Set a limit, feel bad when you break it, repeat forever. That's not a system. That's a cycle. Unhook flips it. You're not fighting your phone - you're making a trade. Do something real first, then scroll without shame. The phone stays locked until you've held up your end. Turns out, that's the only thing that sticks. PRIVACY No accounts. No cloud. No ads. Photos never leave your device. Steps read from Apple Health, never stored. Less scrolling. More living.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Unhook at none against Strive's shown. Strive's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
