Productivity is not about becoming a machine. It is about not giving your best hour to the exact same app every time the work gets a little annoying.
Swing lets you protect your work time with a funny interruption before distraction apps open. It is a small move with a very practical goal: let your plan survive first contact with your phone.
More on this: Focus and study.
1. Pick the apps that pull you in
Choose the apps that derail focused work. Keep the work tools; protect the feeds, chats, or video apps that turn momentum into a detour.
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 catches the first distraction tap before the app opens, giving you a moment to decide whether this helps the task or just delays it.
4. Make the call
Return to work, or unblock the app on purpose when you want a break. Your phone stays useful without becoming your manager.
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.
