Frequently Asked Questions
$39.99 a year, with the first 7 days free, or $2.99 a week. There's no free version.
One price, always, with no countdown offers, and you can cancel anytime.
A link on the subscribe screen unlocks your apps, so Unfried never keeps your phone locked.
Your fry, your streak and your setup are kept if you come back later.
On Android, Unfried reads your app usage through the usage access permission. On iOS it uses Apple's Screen Time permission.
Both ask you first, and nothing leaves your phone.
Without it, Unfried can't tell how long you've spent on your tracked apps, so your fry's health bar can't move.
You can grant it in your phone's Settings.
Your fry gets fried and your tracked apps lock.
Tap Unfry and step away: the moment your fry has any health back, it wakes up and your apps unlock. The bar also refills at midnight, so a lock never lasts past the day.
The one thing you lose is your streak, which goes back to zero.
Yes. The bar refills to full at midnight, so one bad day never follows you into the next.
During the day, the only way to get health back is to tap Unfry and step away from your phone.
No. You pick it once, when your fry is born, and it stays with that fry.
Every fry shows 100 health, so a smaller goal just runs out sooner than a bigger one.
Your screen time stays on your phone. Per-app usage, tracked apps, settings, streaks and hats are stored locally and never uploaded.
Unfried uses a few outside services for specific jobs: RevenueCat for subscriptions, Firebase for version checks and optional feedback, and PostHog and Firebase Analytics for analytics.
No accounts, no ads, and we never sell your data. See the Privacy Policy for the full list.
Open Settings and tap Tracked apps. Add or remove apps any time, and the change is instant.
On Android, the Manage link under the tracked apps card on the home screen goes to the same place.
No. Everything is stored on your phone, so uninstalling deletes your fry, your streak and your hats.
Your subscription is separate and can be restored from the subscribe screen.
Check that notifications are on for Unfried in your phone's settings and in the app's Settings.
On Android, also make sure battery optimization isn't stopping Unfried in the background. On iOS, check they aren't set to Deliver Quietly.
Troubleshooting
Screen time isn't updating:
- Check that usage access is granted
- Android: Settings → Apps → Special access → Usage access → Unfried
- iOS: Settings → Screen Time, make sure it's on and Unfried has permission
- Restart the app, then your phone
The app crashes or freezes:
- Update to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play
- Force-close the app and open it again
- If it keeps happening, reinstall. This erases your local data, so try the steps above first
The health bar looks wrong:
- The bar shows today's time on tracked apps against your daily goal
- Check your tracked list in Settings, under Tracked apps
- Usage can take a few minutes to come through from your phone
