Unpluq – Spend Less Time in Front of Your Phone
We all know how easy it is to stare at your phone and lose hours and hours that could be spent doing something useful. The best way to solve this problem is to exercise your will and not allow yourself to give in. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. That’s why we’re going to present to you a program that will help you not use your phone when you should be doing something more useful.
Unpluq is a free app for Android and iOS that will help you spend less time in front of your smartphone screen.
How Does Unpluq Work?
Once you install and run Unpluq, the first thing you need to do is create a free account or sign in with your Google account. After this, it is necessary to give the application certain permissions, such as for the app to draw over other apps or to manage and send notifications. This is necessary for Unpluq to work properly.
After this, when you finally enter the application, you will see a modern and nice looking user interface. Unpluq works by allowing you to create a list of apps that you won’t be able to run for a certain period of time, which you choose yourself, such as during work or during dinner. You’ll also be able to choose the days when a specific list will be active, so you don’t have to activate it manually.
If you have to use the application you are currently blocking, you will be able to unblock it. This is purposely made so that you can’t simply press a button, but you will have to perform a certain action, for example, shake the phone or draw a pattern. This is meant to demotivate you from constantly picking up your phone and looking at apps when you should be doing something else.
Unfortunately, we also have to say that Unpluq is not really a free app. This is because you can block a maximum of two apps in the free version, and if you want to remove this limit, you will have to pay. Honestly, if the number of apps was a bit higher, the free version might be usable. As it is, it serves only as a demo.
Unpluq Is a Solid App That Isn’t Really Free
As with all apps of this type, how helpful Unpluq is depends on you and whether you stick to the limits you set for yourself. As for the app itself, we have no complaints, except for one, that Unpluq is not really free. We suggest you try it out, and if you like it, consider purchasing the premium version.
