Productivity / Your best work does not need a motivational poster.

A simple app blocker for productivity on iPhone.

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.
