YOU OPEN THE APP BEFORE YOU EVEN REALIZE YOU'VE REACHED FOR YOUR PHONE.

DEHOOK INTERRUPTS THAT MUSCLE MEMORY. WHEN YOU OPEN INSTAGRAM OR TIKTOK, IT ASKS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO WALK AWAY.

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WATCHING YOUR OWN LIFE PASS BY FROM BEHIND A SCREEN.

THE AMBITION

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE POTENTIAL. YOU HAVE THINGS YOU WANT TO BUILD AND ACHIEVE.

THE NUMB LOOP

EVERY EVENING IS SUCKED INTO A SCREEN. YOU GIVE YOUR BEST HOURS TO THE ALGORITHM, LEAVING NONE FOR YOURSELF.

THE STAGNATION

MONTHS PASS. YOUR GOALS ARE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE, BUT THE SCREEN TIME REPORT SHOWS YOU SPENT 40 HOURS A WEEK SCROLLING.

RECLAIM YOUR ATTENTION IN THREE STEPS.

01. CHOOSE WHAT TO MONITOR

SELECT THE SOCIAL MEDIA APPS THAT DRAIN YOUR TIME: INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK, X. THE REST OF YOUR PHONE STAYS EXACTLY AS IT IS.

02. THE MOMENT OF PAUSE

WHEN YOU OPEN A MONITORED APP, DEHOOK STEPS IN BEFORE THE FEED LOADS, REPLACING THE ALGORITHM WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION.

03. WAKING UP YOUR MIND

WRITE A QUICK, HONEST RESPONSE TO CONTINUE, OR CLOSE THE APP AND WALK AWAY. TYPING BREAKS THE AUTOPILOT AND PUTS THE DECISION BACK IN YOUR HANDS.

NO SCREEN TIME AUDITS. NO PRODUCTIVITY HACKS. JUST YOUR FOCUS BACK.

SCREEN TIME AUDITS

MANY FOCUS TOOLS BURY YOU IN CHARTS, HISTORY LOGS, AND DEEP ANALYTICS. THE RESULT? YOU'RE STILL ON YOUR PHONE, JUST CHECKING HOW MUCH YOU USED IT.

DEHOOK DOESN'T TRACK YOUR SCREEN TIME, AUDIT YOUR APPS, OR MICROMANAGE YOUR DAY. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STATS, WE JUST GIVE YOU YOUR ATTENTION BACK IN THE MOMENT IT COUNTS.

COMPLEX SETUP & SCHEDULES

BLOCKERS BUILT ON STRICT RULES DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE REPLYING TO A FRIEND OR ABOUT TO DOOMSCROLL. THEY BLOCK FIRST AND ASK NO QUESTIONS, SO YOU LEARN TO BYPASS THEM.

DEHOOK DOESN'T LOCK DOORS OR TREAT YOU LIKE A RULE-BREAKER. IT PAUSES THE ONE OR TWO APPS THAT SWALLOW YOUR TIME AND ASKS A SINGLE QUESTION. THE CHOICE OF WHAT TO DO NEXT IS UP TO YOU.

THE "DETOX" GAMES

SOME TOOLS TURN FOCUS INTO A POINTS CHASE, WITH VIRTUAL TREES AND STREAK COUNTERS THAT ARE STILL JUST ANOTHER REASON TO KEEP STARING AT YOUR SCREEN.

DEHOOK DOESN'T GAMIFY YOUR FOCUS. IT FORCES A SIMPLE, HONEST CHECK-IN SO YOU CAN PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND REJOIN THE REAL WORLD.

BUILT BY THE PEOPLE WHO STUDY THE ALGORITHM. DESIGNED TO BREAK ITS HOLD.

THE FEEDS YOU SCROLL THROUGH ARE ENGINEERED BY THE WORLD'S BEST MACHINE LEARNING MINDS TO EXPLOIT YOUR BRAIN'S REWARD LOOPS. DEHOOK WAS BUILT BY RESEARCHERS AT MILA WHO STUDY THOSE EXACT MODELS AND WHO BELIEVE THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOUR WILLPOWER. WE FIGHT BACK WITH BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE TO PULL YOU OUT OF THE SCROLL AND BACK IN CONTROL.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR FIRST CLOSED-BETA TESTERS.

"I WAS EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL. I'VE BYPASSED APPLE SCREEN LIMITS, SCREENZEN, AND OPAL. I FIGURED I'D JUST TYPE GIBBERISH TO BYPASS DEHOOK. BUT THE PHYSICAL ACT OF TYPING 'I AM BORED' MAKES YOU FEEL TOO STUPID TO KEEP SCROLLING. YOU JUST CLOSE THE APP."

"I HATED THE IDEA OF AN APP ASKING ME QUESTIONS. BUT AFTER THREE DAYS, I REALIZED I WAS CLOSING INSTAGRAM BEFORE I EVEN FINISHED TYPING MY REASON."

— MARKETING LEAD

"OTHER APPS FELT LIKE A PARENT TELLING ME NO, I INSTANTLY DELETED THEM. DEHOOK FEELS LIKE A MIRROR. YOU CAN'T GET MAD AT A MIRROR."
