Pinterest / Inspiration has a curfew.

How to block Pinterest on iPhone without deleting it.

Keep Pinterest for the actual idea. Skip the part where moodboarding becomes your new part-time job.

Swing lets you protect Pinterest with a funny interruption before it opens. It gives your brain a beat to remember why you came here in the first place.

More on this: Block apps on iPhone.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose Pinterest in Swing if one recipe, outfit, or room idea usually turns into an hour of perfectly optimized imaginary life.

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 puts its block screen in front of Pinterest before the next pin can convince you this is urgent research.

4. Make the call

Leave it closed, or unblock it for a while when you have a real project. Pinterest stays installed either way.

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.
