The tag features an NFC-enabled design that can be linked with a smartphone via the accompanying app to block access during specific hours or days.

The 'Unpluq Tag' has a simple, yellow form that's easy to locate when you need to access an app for business or pleasure. The tag is being launched as part of an [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/built-wh-battery) campaign and comes with a one-year subscription to the Unpluq app. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Distraction-blocking Keychains:** The anti-distraction keychains using NFC technology can disrupt the productivity app market by offering a unique and physical tool to help users stay focused. - **Nfc-enabled Productivity Tools:** NFC technology can be leveraged to create innovative productivity tools, like the 'Unpluq Tag,' that limit distractions and encourage better work habits. - **Physical Reminder Devices:** The rise of anti-distraction keychains highlights the potential for innovative physical devices to be used as reminders and tools to help people overcome personal challenges. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** The technology industry can benefit from anti-distraction tools like the 'Unpluq Tag,' as they provide a unique solution to a common problem for modern users. - **Productivity Apps:** The productivity app industry may experience disruption as anti-distraction keychains like the 'Unpluq Tag' offer a new, complementary tool to help users stay focused. - **Wellness:** The wellness industry can explore how anti-distraction tools like the 'Unpluq Tag' can be used to help individuals live healthier lives by finding balance and reducing screen time. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anti-Distraction Smartphone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolt-app.md) - [Usage-Curbing Smartphone Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-lock.md) - [Mindful Smartphone Usage Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intenty-app.md) - [Anti-Distraction CBT-Powered Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inscreen-app.md) - [Smartphone Detox Lockboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-lock-box.md) - [Smartphone Use Reduction Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burnner.md) - [Anti-Distraction Communication Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beepberry.md) - [Distraction Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-zone.md) - [Anti-Distraction Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-dock-concept.md)
