Student life already has enough tabs open. Your phone does not need to add a new distraction every time you hit a confusing paragraph.

Swing is built around a small interruption, not a guilt trip. It helps students catch the app-open reflex before social media, video, or chat pulls them away from what matters today.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose the apps that interrupt your studying, reading, or actual downtime. Keep the useful stuff; put friction in front of the repeat offenders.

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 gives you a funny block screen before a protected app opens, so the escape hatch has to wait one second.

4. Make the call

Stay with the thing you chose, or unblock the app intentionally. You are not banned from fun; you are just no longer getting ambushed by it.

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.
