SwingIf the blocker needs its own user manual, your tired brain is not going to use it when it matters most.
Swing keeps the core move simple: choose the apps that pull you in, then get a funny interruption before they open.

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 a low-friction setup and a clear app-open choice instead of an entire productivity operating system.
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
Simple should still mean useful. Make sure the apps you care about can be protected and that the interruption will fit into normal life.
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.
