You can keep Reddit for the helpful thread without moving into a comment section for the rest of the afternoon.

Swing adds a small, funny stopping point before Reddit opens, so the reflex has to introduce itself before it steals your study break.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose Reddit in Swing if a quick question keeps turning into a deeply unnecessary investigation of someone else’s breakup.

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 before the front page can hand you another extremely specific rabbit hole.

4. Make the call

Close Reddit, or unblock it for a while when you actually came for something. The app and your account stay on your phone.

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.

Download Swing on the App Store or browse the scroll-less guides.
