The familiar pattern

You opened your phone for one thing. Where did the next 30 minutes go?

You know the pattern: one message, one notification, one app — then a scroll you never meant to start.

01

Quick checks become lost time

“Just checking” turns into another feed, another reel, and another twenty minutes gone.

02

Focus keeps restarting

You sit down to work or study, but every small impulse pulls you out again.

03

Plans lose to what feels easiest

You meant to read, sleep, work, or be present. Your phone offered something easier.

Willpower isn’t the fix.
Friction is.

The problem isn’t that you never make plans. It’s that distractions are always one tap away. Unwhim puts a little space between the impulse and the app.

A calmer way to focus

Put your intentions back in control.

Less reliance on willpower. More room to follow through on the things you care about.

Protect focus without relying on willpower

Start a focus session and let Unwhim keep distracting apps out of reach while you work.

Stop opening apps on autopilot

A small pause creates enough space to notice the impulse and choose what happens next.

Make your plans happen automatically

Set routines for work, study, sleep, mornings, or family time. Unwhim activates them when the time comes.

Learn where your time really goes

State why you want to unlock an app and see which reasons keep appearing in your stats.

How it works

The feed doesn’t open. You get a choice.

When you reach for a protected app, Unwhim breaks the automatic loop before it begins.

  1. 01
    The app stops at the door

    Instead of opening Instagram, Unwhim meets you first.

  2. 02
    Autopilot becomes a pause

    Most impulses pass. A brief pause gives them time to.

  1. 03
    Unlocking takes intention

    If you still want in, keep holding instead of slipping through on reflex.

  2. 04
    Or stay with your plan

    One tap closes the moment and leaves the distracting app blocked.

Focus now

Focus when you need it now.

Start a focus session in one action. Distracting apps stay blocked until it ends, while essential apps remain available.

  • Choose the session length
  • Extend the session when you are in the flow
  • Make leaving early require deliberate effort

Routines that hold

Set it once. Let the plan keep running.

Create routines for the parts of your day you want to protect consistently. When the routine begins, selected distractions are blocked automatically.

Flexible guardrails

Limits for the apps you still need.

Not every distracting app needs to disappear completely. Set daily time limits, open-count limits, or short intentional access windows.

  • Limit total time per day
  • Control how often an app can be opened
  • Reset limits automatically each day

For what comes up today

Some plans only appear today.

Routines protect what repeats. Focus Later protects the one thing you need to finish today — while the intention is still clear.

Need to write a proposal at 4 PM? Schedule the focus block now, before the moment arrives.

Useful insight

Say why. See the pattern.

Sometimes you genuinely need access. Before unlocking, Unwhim asks what you are there to do. Your answers become part of your stats, making repeated habits easier to notice.

What felt like twenty different reasons may turn out to be the same impulse repeated all week.

Focused, not cut off

Block distractions. Keep essentials available.

Not everything should disappear during focus. You choose what stays within reach.

Keep the things you need close.

Maps, banking, authenticator apps, music, and messages from family can remain accessible while distractions stay protected.
