You probably do not need another complicated dashboard. You need the app you always open when work gets annoying to stop getting a free pass.
Swing keeps focus simple: pick the apps that derail you and get a funny interruption before they open. It is low drama, fast to understand, and built for real student life.
More on this: Focus and study.
1. Pick the apps that pull you in
Choose the apps that hijack study sessions, library time, or the gap between classes. You are designing a little friction, not a new identity.
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 stops the first reflex tap with a funny block screen before the distraction can choose the rest of your hour.
4. Make the call
Go back to your work, or unblock the app when you intentionally want a break. Focus should feel usable, not like a punishment app.
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.
