I wanted my
time back, too.
Built by someone who knows how easily one quick check becomes an evening.
A better default.
Hey, I'm George. I built unhookd because I was spending 4+ hours a day on social media and couldn't figure out why “just use willpower” never worked.
I'm a full-stack developer and digital wellbeing advocate. After years of trying screen time tools, I kept coming back to the same problem: by the time I decided to stop scrolling, I was already in it.
I wanted distracting apps to stay blocked until I chose to open them. So I built unhookd around that idea. Apps blocked by default, 24/7. Planned access through Slots. A quick Peek when I need something.
I still use social media. I just want to decide when it gets my attention.
Read the longer storyYour attention
belongs to you.
Choice over automatic scrolling.
Keep the parts of social media you value. Make access something you choose.
A system you can live with.
Slots, Peeks, and a little space to pause fit around a real day.
Time for what matters to you.
A conversation. A project. An evening you actually remember. You decide what more space makes possible.
