The warning: Unplug first. The cable is still plugged in.

Tonight

The phone charges. The room is dark.

You leave it on the nightstand, plugged in, like every night.

Half asleep

You pick it up. The cable is still in.

It pulls: the phone slips, or the plug and the port take the strain. That is what UnplugFirst is for.

Night mode

Dark, but watching.

Start night mode and leave UnplugFirst open. The screen stays almost black, and on, while it charges: that is how it can warn you.

  • Five brightness levels. You choose how faint; your phone's brightness is never touched.
  • Hold to exit. Hard to close by accident.
  • Unplug the cable and night mode ends on its own.
Night mode: the screen almost black, with the charge level

You lift it

It warns you before the cable pulls.

«Unplug first.» appears and, if you want, something more to wake you up fully.

  • Vibration

    Works even with the phone on silent.

  • Sound

    Plays even with the phone on silent, while the app is open.

  • Flashing screen

    Three gentle flashes, never more than two a second.

  • Flashlight

    Three short flashes, at low, medium or high brightness.

Tap the warning to close it, or unplug the cable. Try it before bed in Help › Test the warning.

Good to know

What it promises, and what it doesn't.

  • Only with the app open

    If you close it, lock the phone or switch apps, there is no warning.

  • A reminder, not a guarantee

    It warns you before the pull. It doesn't keep the phone from falling.

  • Everything stays on your phone

    No accounts, no ads and no tracking.
