How is this different/better than Forest? I've been using forest to consciously avoid using my phone when I want to focus on something or engage with someone. What are the actionable prompts you provide (if any)?

@piero_ruiz forest has to be left open to track that you are not on a different app, Unplug tracks your phone usage automatically. We give our users a daily trophy currently.

Love the idea of this app and is the first app I've purchased after finding it on Product Hunt. Are you planning on adding more info like which apps you open the most for example?

Hello Product Hunt! Today is the National Day of Unplugging, where people try to take a digital detox. Using Gamification techniques like trophies, streaks & points we are keeping users self-motivated to reduce smartphone addiction. With ‘Unplug’, people can also automatically track the time spent on their iPhone & the number of times they check it! Here is our media kit on Medium: https://medium.com/@shashwatprad... Announcement on our Blog: http://emberify.com/blog/unplug-... Looking forward for your feedback. 😺

Track how much time you spend on your phone daily, automatically. Control your phone addiction with a daily limit & awards for spending lesser time on your phone.

Absolutely love this idea but why does it need to use GPS constantly in the background?

@nbrempel GPS has to be running to run in background & track. We have reduced it to minimal power by using cell tower locations. (2-4% a day) :) We also plot where you are spending time on your phone.

@shashwatpradhan makes sense :). It's too bad the iOS API doesn't expose that information.

Why this app will use GPS? That's the only thing preventing me to try it!

@anmol_malhotra4 I had the same issue but you can block it in settings

@anmol_malhotra4 Because devs can't actually know when your phone is locked/unlocked, they have to guesstimate using motion. At least that's what I learned from my attempt to build something like this.
