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.

HOW PEEP WORKS: 1. Set the chores and tasks you want done 2. Your kid completes them 3. Screen time unlocks, automatically If you're tired of policing screens, Peep turns the daily fight into something your kid earns instead of something you ration. We aren't another screen time blocker. Blockers just lock the door and leave you to enforce it. Peep hands your kid the key and lets them earn it, which builds something a blocker never will: self-control. It works because there are no shortcuts. Your kid has to do the real thing first. You stop nagging, and they stop seeing screen time as something they're owed. If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at info@getpeep.app. NOTE: Peep supports your parenting, it doesn't replace it. You set the rules, approve the tasks, and stay in control of what counts. Peep uses Apple Screen Time controls to enforce limits, so when time's up, it's actually up. Peep requires a subscription to use. Terms of Use: https://getpeep.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getpeep.app/privacy
