Unplug is a community for people who want to spend less time stuck on their phones and more time becoming who they’re meant to beWe pair you with someone on the same journey or let you bring a friendSet limits together. Check in. Keep each other honest.
1. The Problem
You know the scroll. You’ve lived in it.
Instagram. Reddit. YouTube. TikTok. Twitter.
You tell yourself five more minutes.
Then it’s forty-five minutes pass.
You feel numb, annoyed, ashamed.
The scroll isn’t just a habit. It’s a trap.
And until now, you’ve been trying to escape it alone.
2. The Solution
Unplug turns your slip into a signal.
You and a partner each set your screen time limits.
When you get close, Unplug sends you a gentle nudge.
If you go over, your partner gets a message. Not to shame you, but to help you refocus.
And when they go over, you’ll get one too.
You’re not holding yourself accountable alone anymore.
You’re doing it together.
3. Why It Works
Because shame thrives in silence.
Because “I’ll do better tomorrow” is the oldest lie in your head.
Because the scroll feels stronger than you. Until it isn’t.Unplug adds friction.
It adds eyes.
It adds truth.It doesn’t just track your time.
It witnesses it.And that might be all you ever needed.

Accountability that actually works: Your friend gets a text when you slip. You’re not hiding your habits anymore.
No buddy? We’ll find you one: Get paired with someone else taking back control. You might even make a friend.
Real SMS alerts when you go over your limit: Not a boring ping. A real message. Sometimes funny, always honest.
A system that helps you pause: A gentle check-in that snaps you out of the scroll, from someone who gets it and is on the same journey
A tool built by someone who lived the loop: This wasn’t made in a lab - it came from someone who felt alone and wanted to build something better
