You already know you scroll too much.
You’ve tried setting time limits. You’ve tried deleting apps. You’ve tried willpower. And every time, you end up right back on the couch, thumb moving, hours gone. The problem isn’t that you lack discipline. The problem is that nothing else feels worth doing first.
Unglue makes real life the price of admission.
Instead of blocking your phone and hoping for the best, Unglue gives you a deal: do something useful first, and your apps unlock. Drink water. Take a walk. Make your bed. Clean your desk. Small, real actions, then your screen time is earned, not stolen.
How Unglue works
Pick your tasks
Choose from real-world actions like drinking water, walking, cleaning your desk, or eating a healthy meal. Set them as daily habits.
Do the thing. Snap a photo.
Complete the task in real life, then take a photo to verify. Unglue uses vision AI to confirm you actually did it.
Earn your screen time
Your apps unlock. You earned it. Use your screen time knowing you already did something good today.
Other apps block your phone.
Unglue gives you a reason to put it down.
Most screen time apps treat you like the problem. They lock your phone, set timers, and hope guilt does the rest. It never does.
Unglue works differently. It leverages human psychology, reward and incentive, not restriction. You’re not punished for wanting screen time. You just have to earn it by doing something real first.
That’s why it actually works.
What happens when you start earning your screen time
You actually stop scrolling
Users go from 5+ hours of screen time to under one. Not by force, by having something better to do first.
You do useful things every day
Drink water. Walk. Clean. Eat well. The routines and tasks are actually useful, not busywork.
You feel better
“I feel so much better.” That’s the most common thing users say after their first week.
It’s free
No paywall surprise. No trial that expires. The core experience is free and stays free.
It’s cute
There’s a jelly character. You can change its color. Users say “so cuteeee” and they mean it.
It works with your life
Set tasks that match what you actually need to do. Homework, chores, hydration, movement, whatever matters to you.
Meet your screen time friend.
Every Unglue user gets a jelly. You pick its color. You take care of it by taking care of yourself. It’s not a productivity tool. It’s a little companion that makes putting your phone down feel less like a chore and more like a choice.
