The goal is not to turn your iPhone into a brick. It is to stop giving every bored second directly to the same three apps.
Swing helps you make selected apps less automatic. It adds a funny interruption before they open, so you can reduce the time you lose without deleting the tools and people you care about.
More on this: Stop doomscrolling.
1. Pick the apps that pull you in
Choose the apps that eat the most unplanned time. Start with the ones you open without even knowing you opened them.
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 turns the first tap into a tiny decision point before the app starts filling the silence for you.
4. Make the call
Close it, or unblock it for the time you choose. The app remains installed, but your attention is no longer on auto-renew.
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.
