OWN WHAT YOU BUY.
We are drowning in disposable tech. It’s time to reclaim ownership, reduce e-waste, and build a future that lasts.
The E-Waste Crisis
Every year, millions of tons of electronics are discarded, poisoning our soil and water. This isn't just waste; it's a failure of design. Gadgets are built to die, forcing you into an endless cycle of upgrading.
We believe in a circular economy where devices are kept in use for as long as possible, reducing the massive environmental toll of manufacturing new ones.

It's Not an Accident. It's Design.
Big Tech uses hostile design to stop you from fixing your own property.
Software Locks
Parts pairing and serialization mean even genuine parts won't work without 'authorization' from the manufacturer.
Planned Obsolescence
Batteries glued down. Glass backs that shatter. Components designed to fail right after the warranty expires.
Part Restrictions
Refusing to sell spare parts to independent shops, forcing you to pay premium prices at 'authorized' centers.

What is Repairability?
Repairability means freedom. It means a device is designed to be opened with standard tools. It means schematics are public. It means spare parts are available to everyone, not just the chosen few.
- Modular components (no glue)
- Public repair manuals
- Standard screws and fasteners
Honoring "Jugaad"
In India, repair isn't a new concept—it's a way of life. From the neighborhood cobblestone to the mobile repair shop under the staircase, we have always believed in extracting the maximum value from our resources.
Unscrew isn't teaching India how to repair. We are simply giving our world-class technicians and frugal innovators the tools and parts they deserve. We stand with the "Chhota Mistri" and the DIYer.
