Moments
Dinner, Work, Sleep. Each moment has its own apps and times, and starts by itself if you want.
For iPhone and Android
Unlupa switches off distracting apps and websites with one tap on your phone. Want them back? Then you walk to your own QR code. A short walk is a moment to think.
Why Unlupa
You pick up your phone, open Instagram, scroll through videos and put it down. Ten minutes later you do exactly the same. Not because you want to, but because it happens by itself.
Un stands for breaking free and undoing. Loop is the circle that keeps repeating itself. Together they became Unlupa: not an app that forbids you anything, but one that gives you room back.
How it works
Apps like Instagram and TikTok, and websites like youtube.com. Set it up once, done.
One tap in the app and everything you picked closes. You don't have to go anywhere to start.
Want them back? Scan your QR code or tap your NFC sticker. It hangs somewhere else in your home, so it becomes a conscious choice.
Starting takes no effort. Stopping takes a little walk.
Look inside the appYour code
Unlupa makes your own QR code. Print it, keep it in your photos or put it on an NFC sticker. You don't need an expensive block.
Link every phone in the house to the same code. One card on the fridge, and everyone walks over to it. Parents too.
Features
Dinner, Work, Sleep. Each moment has its own apps and times, and starts by itself if you want.
Instagram closed, so you open it in the browser? Not anymore. Unlupa keeps websites closed too.
12 days
in a row. Plus your longest session, your total hours and your best day.
From Early bird to Screen free Christmas. Every badge is a little party.
Rather not switch them off completely? Give apps a limit per session or per day.
No account, no cloud, no tracking. What you block, only you know.
Lost your code? Hold the emergency button for 90 seconds. And a short break is possible too.
A conscious choice
Other apps make you compete with friends. Sounds fun, but then you open the app to see who's winning. Exactly the loop you wanted to break.
With Unlupa you celebrate your own progress. Calm, private and without comparing. You don't have to beat anyone, except that one reflex.

Price
Try Unlupa free for 7 days first. Like it? Then you pay €15 once. No subscription, no gadget, no small print.
No gadget needed. Just print your QR code yourself, or put it on a one euro NFC sticker.
No. A printed QR code works fine, and you make it for free in the app. Rather tap? Then buy an NFC sticker or card (for example NTAG213 or NTAG215, from about one euro) and put your code on it with the app.
No. You start with one tap in the app. You only need your code to unlock everything again. So starting takes no effort, and stopping takes just enough to think for a moment.
Yes. Link every phone in the house to the same code. One card on the fridge is enough. Each phone does need its own Unlupa.
No panic. Hold the emergency button in the app for 90 seconds and everything turns off. Then just print a new code.
Any website you like. Unlupa recognises it in Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Edge, Brave, Opera, DuckDuckGo and more. A site also blocks everything under it, so youtube.com keeps m.youtube.com closed too.
No. Everything stays on your phone. There is no account and no cloud. For websites Unlupa only reads your browser's address bar, and only while Unlupa is on.
You decide. Pay €15 once and Unlupa is yours forever. Do nothing and you can't switch anything on anymore. Stopping always works, and your stats stay yours.
Yes. Unlupa is available for iPhone and Android. On iPhone Unlupa uses Apple's Screen Time, so apps and websites really close. You need iOS 17 or later.
Because they make you reach for your phone more often, to see who's winning. With Unlupa you celebrate your own progress, with streaks and more than 70 achievements.
