How to Block Apps at Certain Times of Day
To block apps at certain times on iPhone, create a Focus Schedule in SupaFocus: pick the apps and websites, set the time window and repeat days — for example, social media blocked 9am–6pm on weekdays — and iOS enforces the block automatically every day.
Automate the decision
Starting a focus session still requires one good decision at the right moment. Schedules remove even that: you decide once — “no social media during work hours” — and your phone enforces it every single day. Habits built on automation don't depend on your mood.
Schedules that work
- Work Hours (9:00–18:00, Mon–Fri) — feeds and games blocked while you earn a living.
- Bedtime (22:00–7:00, daily) — no doomscrolling at night, no scroll before your feet hit the floor.
- Study Time (19:00–22:00, Sun–Thu) — exam season on autopilot.
- Family Dinner (18:30–20:00) — present at the table.

Can a schedule cross midnight, like 10pm to 7am?
Yes — overnight schedules are exactly what the Bedtime use case is for.
Can I have different schedules for weekdays and weekends?
Yes. Each schedule has its own repeat days, so you can run a strict weekday setup and a lighter weekend one (Pro for multiple schedules).
What if I need a blocked app during scheduled hours?
That depends on the commitment level you chose — Normal lets you end with confirmation, while Strict holds the line until the window ends.
