Unhooked
Editorial policy
How this site is researched, and how to correct it.
Everything on https://unhookedyou.com is written to be checked. A claim about bodies or brains names the study it came from, says what that study does not show, and links it. Where the honest answer is “nobody has measured this”, the page says that instead of filling the gap with confident writing.
1. Who writes it
Every article, tool and milestone on this site is researched, written and edited by the small team that builds Unhooked, published by Must Have Apps SIA in Rīga, Latvia. One desk, no invented experts, and a source on every claim about your body.
Not clinicians. Every health claim names its source. There is no named clinician on this site, because no clinician has written for it. If one ever reviews a page, his name and his real credential will sit on that page and nowhere else. More about the desk.
2. What a claim has to carry
A study, not a study-shaped sentence
Anything about bodies, brains or outcomes names its source with authors and a year, and links it. "Studies show" is not a source.
Say what it does not show
Sample size, design and the limits the authors wrote down themselves go on the page, next to the finding.
No date is invented
An article with no real publication date carries none. A page that stamps today on itself every morning is lying to a reader who cannot see the clock.
Primary sources, not summaries
We read and cite the paper, the meta-analysis or the regulator’s own document. Where we can only find a single small study or a set of case reports, the page says so in the sentence that uses it, not in a footnote.
Every article ends in its sources
Each article and hub carries a Sources block with links, and a gate in this repository refuses to publish one without it. You should never have to take our word for a number.
3. What this site will not print
- A percentage nobody measured. No recovery figures, no proportion of people who stop, no numbers we cannot point at a study for.
- Promises about hormones or brain chemistry. The research in this subject is thin, contested and mostly correlational, and pages here say which of the three applies.
- A fixed timetable sold as a finding. Programme lengths in this category are conventions their authors chose, and we label them as conventions.
- A diagnosis. A screening questionnaire is a signal worth taking to a professional; it decides nothing about anybody.
- Language that treats a bad night as a verdict on a person. Self-judgment is one of the few things in this subject with replicated measurement behind it, and it measures as harm.
4. Dates, updates and corrections
The dates on an article are the real ones. They come from the file the writing lives in, so a page with no recorded date shows none rather than stamping itself with today. When we edit an article, the updated date moves and the old sentence is gone — we do not quietly keep both.
If a source looks wrong to you, or a study says something other than what we wrote, tell us: hello@musthaveappscorp.com. A correction is a page change, not a comment at the bottom, and we will say what changed.
5. How this site earns, and what it does not do to you
We make an app and sell one upgrade inside it. That is the whole business, and it is why every page here ends up mentioning Unhooked. What we do not do: no advertising, no affiliate payments, no sponsored placements, and no paid reviews. Nobody pays to appear on this site, and nobody can pay to be left off it.
Where we compare Unhooked with other apps, the comparison uses their own published prices and their own store reviews, dated and linked, and it names what those apps do better. The tools on this site are free and run entirely in your browser; the privacy page says exactly what that means.
6. What this is not
Unhooked is not therapy and not a medical device, and nothing on this site is medical advice or a substitute for a professional who can see you. If you are in crisis, contact a local emergency service or a crisis line in your country now.
