A quiet moment. A notification. A task gets difficult.
01Private iOS beta · built for the reflex open
The scroll starts before you decide. Take the second back.
When your thumb opens the same app on reflex, Unloop places a 90-second Pause in the way. Not a lecture. Just enough time for an Urge to crest, fall, and stop choosing for you.
01 · THE MOMENT BEFORE
No one plans to disappear into a feed.
You choose to
check one thing.
The loop chooses the rest.
The circuit can finish before intention catches up.
02Back to the room. Not always back to the thought.
03That isn’t a character flaw. It is a pattern trained through repetition—and anything trained can be interrupted.
02 · THE INTERRUPTION
Scroll to move through one Pause.
THE 90-SECOND WINDOW
An Urge is a wave.
Not an order.
The reflex arrives hot and fast. Unloop catches the open before it disappears.
The real Pause screen makes the crest visible. Nothing to fight. Nothing to feed.
Past the crest, the signal cools. The wanting has less force than it promised.
Choose Outlasted. Or open anyway and let the moment become data—not a verdict.
WHAT THE PAUSE MAKES ROOM FOR
You don’t win “screen time.”
You get the unfinished thought.
The person across the table.
The bedtime that stays bedtime.
03 · EVIDENCE OVER WILLPOWER
Three real screens. Three different jobs.
INSIDE THE PRIVATE BETA
One new choice now.
Proof it is changing later.
Unloop doesn’t ask you to feel disciplined. It makes the invisible reps visible—from the first Outlasted urge to a falling Habit Strength curve.
04 · YOUR RULES, FILED IN ADVANCE
Protection should answer to you.
CHOOSE BEFORE THE URGE CHOOSES
A blocker with
your signature on it.
Choose the amount of friction while your intention is in the room. Unloop carries it into the moment when intention is hardest to hear.
Open
0190-second Pauses only. You hold every key.
Standard
02Pauses + Blocked Hours, with two-minute exits.
Strict
03No exits. Unlocking takes 24 hours—or your Buddy’s key.
Opening anyway is still data. Fired records what happened without turning one moment into a moral verdict.
THE PRODUCT PROMISE
Unloop is built to become
less necessary.
No shame mechanics.
Heat is information. A Fired moment is information. The next choice stays yours.
No forever fence.
The point is not to keep you dependent on a blocker. It is to make the reflex weaker.
No invented certainty.
During beta, the app will be tested with real people and the product will change with what we learn.
THE QUESTIONS BEFORE THE YES
Clear answers.
No hard sell.
Is Unloop available now?
Not yet. Unloop is an iOS experiment in active development. Request access and we’ll email you when a private beta place opens.
Does it actually block apps?
Yes. Unloop is designed around Apple’s Screen Time controls. The level of protection depends on the plan you choose: Open, Standard, or Strict.
What if I genuinely need the app?
The Pause keeps the choice visible. Opening anyway is logged as Fired—a data point, not a failure.
Will this work on Android?
The current beta is being built for iPhone. Android is not part of this early experiment yet.

next second.
