Phone App Blocker / Make the bad tap work for it.

A phone app blocker for iPhone that does not feel like homework.

You do not need 14 charts to know which apps are eating your time. You need the opening tap to stop being completely free.

Swing is a simple phone app blocker for iPhone. Choose the apps you want to use less, then get a funny interruption before they open.

More on this: Block apps on iPhone.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose the apps you open on reflex. Keep it practical: one social app, one video app, or whatever keeps derailing your plan.

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 a pause in front of the protected app before it can pull you into another unplanned session.

4. Make the call

Close it, or unblock it for the time you choose. The app stays installed, and you stay the one making the call.

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.
