App Blocker for iPhone to Stop Distractions
Block Instagram, TikTok, and other social media on a timer. Stop scrolling – start doing.
Sound Familiar?
😵💫 Checked for a minute – stuck for an hour
Opened Instagram to "check notifications" and came to an hour later deep in Reels
⏰ Deadlines burning while you scroll
Need to finish that urgent project, but your hand keeps reaching for the phone every 5 minutes
🌙 Scrolling till 3 AM instead of sleeping
Promised yourself you'd sleep at 11 PM, but "just one more video" turned into an all-nighter
📱 Can't stay focused
Trying to "just not open social media" doesn't work – willpower lasts an hour max

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube – everything that distracts you

Block for an hour, a day, or on a schedule
