Study Mode / The assignment is not the villain.

A simple app blocker for studying on iPhone.

Studying is already hard enough without your phone offering you 400 new things to care about every time a sentence gets boring.

Swing lets you choose your study-session distractions, then gives you a funny interruption before they open. It is a small way to protect the time you already set aside.

More on this: Focus and study.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose the apps that reliably break your concentration. You do not need to block every app—just the ones that turn five minutes into a missing chapter.

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 creates a quick funny pause before the protected app opens, so you can tell the difference between a real need and an escape hatch.

4. Make the call

Stay with the work, or choose an intentional unblock when you are actually done. The app stays on your phone for later.

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.
