before you pair up

What if my friend is asleep?

After a 10 minute wait you can use an emergency unlock. It works, but your friend sees it and gub loses some health.

Does it work if one of us has Android?

Yes. gub is coming to iPhone and Android, and an iPhone and an Android phone can share one gub. On iPhone it uses Apple's Screen Time. On Android it uses usage access and an accessibility permission to block apps. We only use those to lock the apps you pick and count your daily minutes.

What can my friend see?

Only your unlock requests and your daily totals. gub never sees your messages or what you do inside apps.

Can someone use gub to control me?

No. You choose what gets locked, you can leave a pact any time, and an emergency unlock always works after a 10 minute wait. Your friend never sees your messages, location or what you watch.

What if my friends won't join?

gub works solo too. You get the blocking, the moods and the 1am calls. A pact just makes him much harder to let down.

How does the founding pair work?

Nothing to pay today. Before launch we email a payment link for the founding price, which covers year one for both of you. Change your mind before launch and you get a full refund.

gub is waiting for you both.
