”Young people are succumbing to the pressure of digital overload, 24/7 connectivity, and social media, which is fueling alarming rates of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and suicide.
LookUp.Live provides opportunities for youth to develop healthy relationships with technology and reverse the negative effects of living in a digital age by facilitating the discovery, development, and advancement of youth-led solutions.
Instead of having adults solve a problem they haven’t lived through, let’s get right to the source: by listening to Millennials and Gen Z, using personal experience as fuel for real change.
LookUp.Live funds youth-led innovations aimed at solving some of today’s toughest problems: burnout, depression, lack of focus, lack of genuine connection, and insomnia among many other problems— all accelerated by our new world of technology and 24/7 connectivity.
LookUp.Live empowers young people using the greater school system and youth-based organizations to disseminate relevant information relating to tech-life balance and maintaining a healthy relationship with technology.
LookUp.Live challenges and inspires readers with science-backed tips and tricks for managing technology, suggesting small steps that add up to make a huge difference.

Less Distraction. More Life.
🎧Listen to real talk with unpluq founder, Tim Smits.👏
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"
