Unhook

Unhook helps you notice the thoughts that stress you, set a goal, and train yourself to let them go faster. You cannot stop a thought from arriving, and trying to push one away only makes it louder. What you can train is how long it lingers, and research on rumination links that lingering, not the thought itself, to stress and low mood. Unhook turns this into one simple practice: catch a sticky thought, return your attention to your breath, and let it pass, before your line. THE GOAL Set a deadline (say 5 seconds) and a stretch (hours or days). Keep every thought under your deadline for the whole stretch and you reach your goal. Let one linger too long and the clock restarts from zero. That fresh start is the discipline that builds the habit. HOW IT WORKS - Catch a thought the moment it hooks you. - Breathe with the ring and let it pass. - Watch your pace get faster over time. - Reach your goal, celebrate, then set a harder one. CALM BY DESIGN - No shame, no nagging, no "do not break your streak" pressure. - A quiet, growing record of everything you have let go. - Home-screen and lock-screen widgets to see where you stand. - Gentle, optional reminders. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads, nothing leaves your phone. Rooted in mindfulness and acceptance (ACT): the aim is not to fight a thought or push it away, but to notice it, unhook from it, and return to the present. The deadline is a training wheel, and as letting go gets easier, you will not need it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Unhook at none against Checkout Deck's 1. Unhook also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Checkout Deck's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
