iOS only · Screen Time
Unhook blocks your apps until you complete real habits. Walk, meditate, read — then unlock your phone. No guilt. No willpower. Just a deal.
iOS only. Requires iOS 16 or later.
The problem
App timers you ignore. Apps you delete and reinstall. Willpower that lasts until about 9pm. None of it works because none of it gives you a reason to stop first. The problem was never you. Nothing else came first.
The deal
Do something real. Then your apps unlock. Walk. Meditate. Read. Make your bed. Small actions first — then your screen time is earned, not stolen.
How it works
Effort first, entertainment second. That is the whole deal.
Choose from 20+ real-world habits. Walk, meditate, read, touch grass — anything that gets you moving before you get to scroll.
Finish the habit. Unhook verifies it — timer, step count, or a photo check. No shortcuts. You earn Cells.
One Cell equals one minute unlocked. Spend what you earned. Your screen time, on your terms.
Why it works
Most screen time apps treat you like the problem. They set limits and hope guilt does the rest. It never does. Unhook works differently — reward and incentive, not shame and restriction. You are not punished for wanting screen time. You just have to earn it first.
What changes
When something real comes first, the scroll loses its grip. No willpower required.
Walk. Meditate. Read. Drink water. The kind of habits that actually change your day, not just fill a checklist.
When your phone stops winning by default, everything else gets a little more room to breathe.
No override. No bargaining. The deal holds because Hooke holds it.
He celebrates your streaks, tracks your progress, and makes sure you never forget what you agreed to.
Timer, step counter, or photo verification. Pick the habits that fit your life and earn your way.
Meet your pal
Hooke was built by the same systems that keep you scrolling. He knows every trick. He chose differently. Now he tracks your habits, celebrates your streaks, and holds the deal steady on his end. He is not a productivity tool. He is a companion who has seen the other side, and knows this one is better.
