learn how to create a barrier to distraction.
UNPLUQ ENABLES YOU TO SPEND TIME ON THE MEANINGFUL THINGS IN LIFE.
It frees you of distractions smartphones inevitably bring along. It enables you to decide when you want to be free of distraction, or when you want your entire phone’s functionality, by plugging the Unpluq key in or out.
By detaching the Unpluq key from your phone, the launcher switches to Unpluq mode. In Unpluq mode, only apps of your choice will be available and notifications of all other apps will be blocked. Yet when you make the conscious decision to plug the Unpluq key back in, you will have the functionality of your entire phone, and your missed notifications will be shown to you.
“You decide when you want to focus and make a conscious decision of when to physically plug it back in.”
PHYSICAL Benefits
Unpluq is a combination of hardware and software to regain control over your smartphone. With the addition of a physical key you have the option to create the barrier to distraction yourself: you can decide where to store the Unpluq key when you want to focus. Furthermore, you have to make a conscious decision to physically plug it in and enter the room of distraction.
Why?
78% of teens check their devices at least hourly, and 50% report feeling “addicted” to their phones; meanwhile, 69% of parents check their devices at least hourly, and 27% of parents feel "addicted"
