SwingKnowing your screen time after the fact can be useful. But the most useful moment is often the second before you open the app again.
Swing is an iPhone app blocker that works at the app-open moment. Choose the apps you want to use less, and get a funny interruption before they pull you in.

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 to make the decision before the scroll begins, not just inspect a number after the day is over.
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
Decide whether you need awareness, friction, or a stronger boundary. Then check the current details of any tool you are considering.
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.
