Procrastination / Cute. The deadline still exists.

How to stop procrastinating on your phone.

Most phone procrastination starts as a tiny escape. Then somehow you are researching a stranger’s vacation while your task stares at you from one tab away.

Swing helps you interrupt the apps you use to disappear from the thing you meant to do. It does not shame you; it just makes the reflex less invisible.

More on this: Stop doomscrolling.

1. Pick the apps that pull you in

Choose the apps you reach for when the work gets uncomfortable. Be honest, not heroic—the obvious suspects are enough.

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 steps in before the protected app opens, creating one funny beat where you can notice what you are trying to avoid.

4. Make the call

Go back to the task, or choose a deliberate unblock when you really want a break. A break hits different when you actually picked 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.
