College / Your syllabus did not lose. Your feed did.

An app blocker for college students who want their time back.

You do not need a productivity monastery. You need the random Instagram check to stop hijacking the 45 minutes you finally sat down to work.

Swing helps college students put a funny interruption in front of the apps that turn a study break into a full disappearance.

More on this: Focus and study.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose the apps that always appear the second a reading gets mildly difficult. Keep the tools you need; protect the ones that pull you away.

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 first tap with a funny block screen, giving you a second to decide whether you need the app or just need a break.

4. Make the call

Leave the app, or unblock it for a while when you actually choose to. You are still in charge; the reflex is not.

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.
