Guides to a calmer phone
Practical, step-by-step help for blocking distracting apps, setting limits that hold, and scrolling less on iPhone.
Your iPhone already has tools to limit apps, but each one has a catch you only find at 11pm, thumb hovering over Ignore Limit. These guides show what works, what doesn’t, and how to set up blocks that still hold when you’re tired.
Each guide covers the built-in iPhone options first, so you can start without installing anything, and shows where FocusRabbit fits when you want blocks that are harder to skip. They’re written by the developer of FocusRabbit and kept up to date with iOS.
