Nature Unlock helps you take control of your screen time by encouraging meaningful breaks through a simple concept: “Your most distracting apps are locked… until you step outside and take a photo of a tree or flower.”
It’s a gentle push to look up from your phone and reconnect with the world around you — ideal for people looking for a digital detox without going cold turkey.
Key Features:
Distraction App Lock: Select the apps you find most distracting (like social media or games). When you try to open them, Nature Unlock blocks access — unless you go outside and take a photo of tree or flower.
On-Device Image Detection: The app verifies your photo locally to ensure it’s a flower or tree. No image ever leaves your device — it’s fully private and secure.
Nature Challenges: Explore your environment by completing simple outdoor tasks, like “Find 10 flowers” or “Snap a 5 tree.” It’s like a real-life scavenger hunt to get you moving.
Break & Breathe Features: Not ready to go out? No problem. You can choose screen-free break activities or use the breathing exercises to reset your mind and body. Great for reducing stress or improving focus.
Activity Stats: See how often you’re choosing nature, taking breaks, and avoiding distractions. Visualize your progress over time.
Nature Unlock was my way of regaining balance — a soft nudge to put down the phone, step outside, and breathe.
