We've tried all native solutions ourselves--and lots of other ones, too--but we found that Apple Screen Time and Android's Digital Wellbeing are too easy to circumvent.

The Unpluq Tag provides you with a physical key to distraction that invokes real habit change.

The Unpluq Tag will work on iPhone 8 or higher, and Android devices with NFC support (this is most Android devices from the last several years). 

If you can tap your phone to pay, you have NFC support.

If you want to double check, see a list of phones with NFC here.

iPads: Note that iPads do not have NFC support at this time and therefore the Tag is not compatible with them. However, the digital barriers available in Unpluq Premium work with iPad.

If you lose your Unpluq Tag, the Unpluq app allows you to indicate you have lost your tag. Using this option changes your schedules to an alternative, non-Tag barrier until you indicate you have recovered your Tag.  You can only use this feature 5 times in the lifetime of your account to prevent it from being abused.

If you have don’t have your tag with you but you really needs access, consider using EMERGENCY MODE which enables full access for 5 minutes, during which you can change your barrier type on your schedules.

Putting your phone into another room is a solution for some--but have you tried to do it with success? The challenge is that you won’t have access to the useful functionality of your phone.

With Unpluq we create an intentional barrier that helps you to decide consciously if you actually want to open a distracting app.

Yes, the Unpluq Tag only works with Unpluq Premium. Developing software takes a lot of time and effort, continually--it's never "finished."

With the Unpluq Premium subscription, we can continue to create updates for the Unpluq app and provide you with the best possible experience in the Unpluq app.
