Block social media on iPhone when you need to focus

Choose the social apps and websites that pull you into scrolling, then start a focus session with a clear boundary around your work or study time.

Download StrictBlock on the App Store

Start with your actual distraction loop

For many people, distraction starts with one familiar app: Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, X, Facebook, or a web version in a browser. Choose the apps and sites that interrupt the task you already planned to do.

You do not need to block your entire phone. Keep the tools you need and block the few apps that reliably turn a short break into a longer scroll.

Use a focus session instead of a vague promise

Open StrictBlock, select the apps and websites to block, then start a timer or Pomodoro-style focus session. Save the setup as a profile if you use the same boundary for study, work, or evening routines.

Make the routine easier to repeat

After a session, use your streak, session note, and weekly report to see what worked. The goal is not perfect screen time; it is making the next intended focus block easier to keep.
