*A rough projection from cutting your daily app time with Unfried — your real number depends on the limit you set.

How It Works

Three steps. That's it.

1

Pick your apps

Choose the ones that eat your day — TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, whatever yours are.

2

Apps lock. You ask.

They stay locked by default. Want in? Just ask your fry for 5, 10, or 15 minutes.

3

Win your time back

Keep your fry alive, watch the hours come back, and spend them on things you'll actually remember.

Good choices pay off.

Every time you put the phone down, you get a little something back.

📅

Show up, get rewarded

Open the app each day your fry is alive and grab coins or a free hat box. The longer it lives, the bigger the rewards.

🤚

Walking away pays

Go to open an app, then change your mind? You earn coins for it. Here, the willpower you've been building actually pays you back.

🎩

Dress up your fry

Spend coins on hat boxes and give your fry some personality. Every hat changes what it says — and they stick around, even after a fry dies.

Here's what you get back

Your hours. Your focus. Your evenings. Your phone, back in your control.

🔐

Your apps wait for you

No more opening them out of habit. They stay locked until you ask — and just asking is usually enough to make you stop and think. You're back in charge.

🍟

A fry you won't let down

Name it. It cheers when you're winning and sweats when you're not — so putting the phone down is about saving the little guy, not about you.

A daily limit you can feel

Pick how much time you get — 30 minutes to 2 hours. It ticks down as you scroll and starts fresh every morning. No charts to read, just a bar you watch.

🎯

A small win every day

One easy goal a day: beat yesterday, skip an app. Little wins that stack up — and a reason to come back tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

How does Unfried help me reduce screen time?

Your tracked apps stay locked until you ask your fry to open one — and you pick how long: 5, 10, or 15 minutes. That little pause is usually enough to make you put the phone down. You also get a fry with a time bar that drains as you scroll. Let it hit zero and the fry is gone for good, so you've got a real reason to stop.

How do I unlock a blocked app?

Open Unfried, tap Ask the fry, and choose 5, 10, or 15 minutes. If you've got time left, it lets you in. If you're nearly out, it offers you less — or says no. Change your mind during the short wait and you even earn coins for it.

How do I earn coins?

Three ways, and you never buy them: claim your daily reward, walk away from an app when you change your mind, and finish daily challenges. Spend coins on extra time or on fun hats for your fry.

What are quiet hours?

Hours you set where the fry blocks everything — perfect for sleep, work, or dinner. The window holds until it ends — no buying your way back in. Turn on hard lock to seal it completely. Your evenings, protected.

What are daily challenges?

One small goal a day, like beating yesterday's screen time or skipping an app. Finish them to climb a 30-step ladder and earn rewards. If your fry dies, you start the climb over.

What apps can Unfried track?

Any app on your phone. It starts with the usual time-eaters — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, X, Facebook, Reddit — and you can add or remove any app anytime.

Is Unfried available on iPhone?

Yes — on both iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

What happens when my fry dies?

It's gone for good — no revive. That's the point: real stakes make you stop before zero. You start fresh with a new fry, and your hats and coins carry over. So buy a little time or ask for less before the bar runs out.

How is Unfried different from other screen time apps?

Most apps either nag you with numbers or slam up a wall you delete a week later. Unfried makes your apps ask you instead — a small, friendly speed bump — and gives you a fry you don't want to lose. It feels less like a punishment and more like a game you want to win.
