SwingYou do not have to quit the internet. You just need a tiny obstacle between “I am bored” and your next hour disappearing into the feed.
Swing is a funny iPhone app blocker that lets you choose the social apps you want to use less. It adds a pause before the scroll starts running itself.
More on this: Stop doomscrolling.
1. Pick the apps that pull you in
Choose the social apps that have the strongest hold on your thumb. You can start with one; the goal is a cleaner decision, not a dramatic purge.
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
When you open a protected app, Swing interrupts before the feed loads and lets you see the habit before the habit sees you.
4. Make the call
Close it, or unblock it for a while when you consciously want to use it. That is less scrolling without pretending you are above memes.
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.
