Block distracting apps while you focus. Need one back? Explain why to Sway AI, get short temporary access, then Sway blocks it again automatically. Sway helps you stop impulsive app opens by blocking distractions and making you explain before you unlock. During a focus session, Sway blocks the apps, categories, or websites you choose using Apple Screen Time. If you want access before the session ends, Sway does not give you a simple unlock button. Instead, you open Requests, explain why you need access, and choose only the time you actually need. Sway’s AI-guided temporary access requests are designed to create a moment of friction before impulsive scrolling. The AI can ask follow-up questions, challenge weak reasons, suggest alternatives, and approve a short temporary unlock when access is reasonable. Sway is built for students, creators, and productivity-focused users who want stricter boundaries without feeling punished by their phone. WHY SWAY • Block apps, categories, and websites Choose what to shield during study, work, deep focus, or personal time. • Explain before you unlock When you want access during a session, Sway asks you to explain your reason before opening the distraction. • AI-guided temporary access Sway helps you reflect, question the impulse, and avoid automatic scrolling. • Short temporary unlocks If access makes sense, Sway can approve a limited unlock so you can do what you need and return to focus. • Custom access settings Adjust request limits, maximum unlock length, and AI strictness to match how much structure you want. • Focus streaks and history Track completed sessions, early endings, streaks, and focus patterns over time. • Privacy-conscious Screen Time design Your selected Screen Time apps, categories, websites, and Apple Screen Time tokens stay on your device. Sway does not upload your raw Screen Time selections to its servers. Sway is a self-control and focus tool, not a parental-control, monitoring, or surveillance app. It is designed to help you build the habit of pausing before you act on impulse. Sway includes a 7-day free trial. After the trial, an active subscription is required to continue using Sway. Payment is handled by Apple through your App Store account. You can cancel anytime in App Store subscription settings.
