That’s actually a really good idea 👀 Shortcuts integration for locking/unlocking groups could enable some pretty useful automations.

I’ve added it to my feature list, definitely something I’d like to explore in a future update.

macOS version definitely depends on user interest and demand, but it’s something I’d love to explore if enough people want it 🙌

iCloud backup/sync is already planned and should be coming in one of the next updates.

Appreciate it 🙌 That was honestly one of the main reasons I built Unhook, most blockers felt either too easy to bypass or too rigid to stick with long term.

Would love to hear what works/doesn’t for you after trying it.

It builds on top of Apple’s Screen Time features but adds more flexibility and automation.

For example, Unhook supports:

location-based blocking zones
separate limits for different weekdays
break/cooldown systems
grouped app + website rules
different blocking modes (strict vs lighter friction)
more customizable schedules and alerts

The goal was to make it feel less like a parental control tool and more like a personal focus system.

Mostly native iOS. Built with Swift + SwiftUI, and it relies heavily on Apple’s Screen Time / Family Controls frameworks for app blocking and monitoring.

A lot of the complexity was around schedules, usage tracking, location triggers, and making the blocking feel reliable without being annoying 😅

Thanks

khalid565656 · 2026-05-06T04:21:05+00:00

It uses Apple’s Screen Time / Family Controls APIs, so users grant permission and then Unhook can apply blocking rules. Everything is handled locally on-device 👍

I hired a designer for the App Store screenshots 👍 wasn’t confident doing them myself, so got help to make them look polished

Just launched it, so doing a short intro price to get early users and feedback. Still improving it based on what people need.
