Night-you is not weak. Night-you is just getting jumped by an infinite feed. Set up Swing before the 2am negotiations begin.
Swing is an iPhone app blocker that gives you a funny interruption before the apps you chose pull you into another “one last video” situation. Get trolled when you scroll, then make an actual choice.
1. Pick the apps that betray bedtime
Open Swing and choose the apps that are most likely to turn your pillow into a charging dock. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit—pick your usual suspects.
2. Set it up while your brain is still online
Follow Swing’s on-screen permission setup before you get tired. Future-you gets the interruption without having to remember a productivity plan at midnight.
3. Let the first tap get stopped
Open a protected app and Swing steps in before the feed does. It is not a lecture. It is a tiny, funny moment where you notice the reflex.
4. Make a small call
Leave the app, or choose how long to unblock it. No dramatic phone breakup required. The fun way to scroll less is a little less autopilot tonight.
Quick answers
Do I have to delete the apps?
No. Swing adds an interruption before protected apps open. Your apps and accounts stay on your iPhone.
What if I actually need an app?
You can choose whether to leave it blocked or unblock it for a while. Swing is there to interrupt the reflex, not run your life.
Does this only work for TikTok?
No. Choose the apps that make your specific night-scroll spiral worse.
