Why we know you'll love Unpluq
Unpluq Tag
A simple, science-backed way to reduce screen time by 1h 20m a day — without deleting your apps.
The Unpluq Tag is the physical key that helps you break phone habits and reduce screen time — without guilt, rules, or deleting your apps.
Designed to work with the Unpluq App, the Tag creates a small but powerful moment of pause: your chosen distracting apps stay locked until you consciously unlock them with your Tag.

We’ve tried all the built-in tools too — and let’s be honest, it’s very easy to bypass them. Tap “Ignore for 15 minutes” and... there goes your evening.
Unpluq adds a layer of real-life friction. With the Unpluq Tag, you need a physical key to unlock your chosen distractions. That small moment of pause? It’s surprisingly powerful — and actually helps change your habits for good.

If you’re buying the Unpluq Tag — yes, you’ll need the app. The Tag pairs with the Unpluq App (subscription required) and acts as your physical “key” to unlock the apps you’ve chosen to block.
If you’re buying just the Subscription, the Tag is optional. The app includes digital barriers too — but the Tag adds a real-world boundary, which is why most people find it works best.

Absolutely. You’re in full control. Block social media, games, news — whatever tends to steal your time. You can also create custom schedules for when apps are blocked (like work hours, evenings, or weekends).

Sure, you could put your phone in a drawer. But then you’re also locking away everything useful — maps, music, messages, your camera, and your life.
Unpluq gives you more control, not less. You can still use your phone, just without falling into the usual scroll traps. The Tag creates a simple, intentional barrier — so you pause, then decide: Do I actually want to open this app right now? That one second can make all the difference.
-
Nope. Unpluq doesn’t store or sell your data — and in most cases, we can’t even see it. You’re not the product here.
If you’ve chosen to share usage data (thank you!), it’s only used to improve the app — fixing bugs, reducing crashes, and making Unpluq work better for you. One day, it might even help us recommend which apps to block for max time-back.
