SwingNight-you is not a bad person. Night-you is just uniquely vulnerable to “one more” when the bed, charger, and infinite feed are all in a group project.
Swing lets you protect the social apps that keep you up. Set them up while you are awake enough to have opinions, then let the interruption catch the late-night reflex.
More on this: Stop doomscrolling.
1. Pick the apps that pull you in
Choose the apps that pull you into the night scroll—usually the ones that promise one tiny check and deliver an hour.
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
When you tap a protected app, Swing makes you pause before the feed can start negotiating on behalf of tired-you.
4. Make the call
Close it and sleep, or unblock it for a deliberate window. Your apps stay on your phone, just with a little more honesty in front of them.
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.
