Block distracting websites on your iPhone.
Add selected websites and apps to the same schedule. Downtime blocks them automatically during work, study, evenings, or sleep.
Block websites at the times you choose
Keep news, social media, shopping, or any other selected websites unavailable during specific hours.
How website blocking works
- Choose the websites you want to block using Apple's built-in controls.
- Put those websites on the same schedule as distracting apps.
- Use different rules for work, study, evenings, or weekends.
- Keep your schedules and selections on your device.
Add both the app and its website to one schedule when you want both routes blocked.
