The key to take control over your smartphone usage.

Less distraction, more life!

The Unpluq Tag Replaces The Unpluq Key

Transform your Android phone into a distraction-free device.

 

You decide when to remove distracting apps.

Regain control over your smartphone usage and focus on the meaningful things in life.

You choose which apps distract you. By removing the Unpluq key from your phone, Unpluq switches to Focus mode. In Focus mode, distracting apps of your choice will be blocked, and their notifications will be blocked as well.

Unpluq users save an average of

70 minutes a day.

What would you do with that extra time?

"The tool works as intended. It's easy to define distracting apps which then can only be accessed when the key is plugged in and it's a great way to stay focused on other, more important things."

Why a physical key?

Normal software solutions are too easy to bypass. By creating a physical barrier to access distracting apps, the choice becomes more conscious.

Break Habit loop

By making your distracting apps further than just a click away, you break your unconscious habit loops.

Physical barrier

With the addition of a physical key, we give you the option to create the barrier to distraction yourself: you can decide where to store the Unpluq key when you want to focus.

Conscious choice
