# Take back control of your screen time. Untap helps you cut down on mindless scrolling by adding a pause before you open addictive apps. That moment of friction gives your brain time to choose instead of acting on impulse. ## How it works When you try to open an app you’ve selected (social media, YouTube Shorts, games, etc.), Untap shows a short delay screen. You can close the app right away or wait for the timer and then open it. That pause makes the decision conscious instead of automatic. ## Features **Intentional delay** – Set a 5-second to 1-minute wait before opening controlled apps, so you can notice and redirect the urge **Session limits** – Cap each session (1–60 minutes) and get notified when time’s up **Daily limits** – Limit how often you can open each app per day (3–15 times or unlimited) **Math Challenge (PRO)** – Optional quick math problem to unlock an app and add extra friction **Solve MCQs** – Generate & solve MCQs before opening controlled apps **Focus Time (PRO)** – Scheduled blocks (e.g., work or study) when all selected apps stay blocked **Screen time summary** – See total and controlled-app usage at a glance **Pause options** – Temporarily pause protection for 1 hour or for the day when needed **Daily recap** – End-of-day notification with your screen time ## Privacy-first Reclaim your focus. Unrot your brain. All settings and usage stay on your device. Nothing is collected or sent to our servers. Privacy Policy: https://www.getuntap.com/privacy Terms: https://www.getuntap.com/terms
