Hey Product Hunt 👋
A few months ago I caught myself unlocking my phone, opening Instagram, closing it, and immediately reopening it. Within the same second. My hand had decided before I had.
That was the moment I stopped believing in willpower as a solution. The apps aren't fighting fair, and neither are most "focus" tools. They just borrow the same playbook: streaks, punishments, lockouts.
Unblur takes the opposite approach. A gentle blur arrives on feeds engineered to keep you. A breath. A phrase you've written for yourself. A small calculation. Nothing locks. The choice always stays yours; just with a little more space around it.
Things I care about:
• Local-first, no account, no tracking
• No streaks, no badges, no dark patterns
• 6 languages, free forever
• Pro at €0.99/month to support a small, independent project
It's a small tool. I hope it gives you back a few quiet minutes today.
Happy to answer anything 🌿
