Untether: Lock Apps, Meditate

Endless doom scrolling? Mindlessly picking up your phone to scroll? Set a challenge. To open your apps, sit and meditate first. Reduce anxiety and build sharper focus

Untether puts a pause between you and doom scrolling.

You pick up your phone to check one thing. Forty minutes later you come up for air, foggy and restless, somehow more tired than when you started. That's not a willpower problem. The apps you're up against were built to keep you there.

Untether works on the moment you reach for them. Pick the apps that drain you (social, news, the feeds) and the hours they stay shut. Tap a locked one and you don't get a guilt screen or a countdown of everything you've done wrong. You get a few quiet minutes to breathe, and then your apps open again. Real emergency? Override is one tap away. This is a tool, not a cage.

Most people open it to scroll and leave having meditated. That's the point.

WHAT YOU GET BACK • Calmer nights. Lock the feeds before bed and actually wind down. • Sharper focus. Protect your deep-work hours and feel your attention come back. • A practice that's yours. Sit, breathe, learn to meditate on your own terms.

HOW IT WORKS • Choose which apps to lock, and when. • Reach for one, and a meditation shows up instead. • Sit, breathe, finish a short session to unlock. • Build a streak and watch it grow.

INSIDE • App locking through Apple Screen Time. Private, on-device. • A clean meditation timer, 1 to 30 minutes. • Soundscapes: rivers, ocean, mountain wind, rainforest, thunder. • Pure tones for calm and focus, plus customizable binaural beats with optional ear-to-ear drift. • A growing library of techniques that teach you how to meditate. • Finishing and interval bells. • Habit tracker with streaks. • Emergency unlock for when you really need it.

NO NARRATOR We've intentionally skipped guided meditations as we believe the best practice is the one you can do in silence, anywhere, without us. We're not trying to keep you in the app. We're trying to hand your attention back and get out of the way.
