A new screen-time tool should make your life simpler, not give you one more system to procrastinate inside.
ClearSpace: Reduce Screen Time is a current iPhone app. Swing is an iPhone app blocker that adds a funny pause before you open the apps you selected.

Start with the moment you want to fix
Get specific. Is it the app-open reflex, a study-session escape hatch, a before-bed scroll, or something broader? A useful blocker meets you at that exact point, not just in a weekly report.
When Swing makes sense
Swing fits if you want a lightweight, personality-first interruption at the first tap rather than a bigger routine around your phone use.
What Swing is—and is not
Swing is a funny iPhone app blocker. You choose the apps to protect, then Swing puts a playful interruption between you and the app opening. It does not promise to block only one feature inside another app, replace every boundary style, or make the choice for you.
What to verify before switching
Check ClearSpace’s current App Store listing for its latest product details before switching. The better fit depends on the boundary you need, not a generic ranking.

Run a tiny honest test
Pick one app that repeatedly turns a quick check into a missing hour. Try one boundary for a few days. If it helps you notice the tap without making your life absurd, keep it. If it does not, change the setup—not your whole personality.
Quick answers
Is Swing automatically better?
No. The right app blocker is the one whose friction matches the behavior you are trying to change.
Can I keep my apps?
Yes. Swing adds an interruption before protected apps open. Your apps, accounts, and data stay on your iPhone.
Where can I see how Swing works?
See how Swing works, then choose the apps you want to use less.
