Doomscrolling is sneaky because it rarely starts with a plan. It starts with one tap, then your phone starts driving and nobody tells you the destination.

Swing helps break that loop early. Pick the apps that pull you in, and Swing adds a funny interruption before the feed gets the chance to take over.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose the apps that most often start your scroll spiral. Start small and honest; the goal is to catch the move that happens before you notice it.

2. Finish the iPhone setup

Follow Swing’s on-screen permission setup. This lets Swing show its interruption before your protected app opens, instead of asking your half-awake thumb to be the whole plan.

3. Let Swing catch the first tap

Swing meets the app-open moment with a funny block screen. That gives you a real beat to decide whether you actually want this right now.

4. Make the call

Close it, or unblock it for a window you choose. You keep the app and the choice, while the reflex loses its fast lane.

Quick answers

Do I have to delete the app?

No. Swing adds an interruption before a protected app opens. Your app, account, and data stay on your iPhone.

Can I still use it when I need to?

Yep. You choose whether to leave the app or unblock it for a while. Swing is there to interrupt the reflex, not run your life.

What should I protect first?

Start with the app that most often turns a quick check into a missing hour. One honest choice beats a huge list you will never use.
