Is the Unplug Tag for You? | Regain Time from Screens

Kabir's Tech Dives

This episode is about a company called Unplug, which makes a tag (a small device) to control your smartphone addiction. The founders, Caroline and Yandri, address the growing concern about excessive phone use and its negative impact on well-being.
They argue that constant phone usage is impacting our mental health and the quality of our lives. Unplug's product, a physical tag that attaches to the back of a phone, helps users break the habit of mindlessly checking their phones. The tag restricts access to time-consuming apps, prompting users to engage with their devices consciously.
Unplug has seen significant growth and garnered positive feedback, with users reporting increased offline time and engaging in meaningful activities. The company is expanding its services to address family use and plans to develop a parental control feature to guide young people toward healthy digital habits.
