Start a Fella session before class starts and set it to the length of the period. The apps you choose stay locked until it ends, so there is no timer to watch and no toggle to flip when it's over.

A single class period is short enough that most app blockers feel like overkill to set up for it. Fella does not have a feature named for class. It has sessions: start one manually and it runs for the length you set, whether that is fifty minutes or the whole afternoon. A class period is simply one of the shorter, more specific uses of the same mechanism.
Pick the apps you actually reach for mid-lecture—social feeds, games, messaging—and start a manual session set to the length of the period. Once it starts, those apps stay locked for the full session without needing another decision.
Fifteen minutes is Apple's floor for a Screen Time session, and Fella does not try to get around it. Almost any class period clears that easily, so a single session covers the whole thing.
A one-off session works for an irregular schedule. If a class falls at the same time on the same days each week, a routine starts and ends that session for you instead, so there is nothing to remember before walking in.
Multiple routines can run for different periods. A first-period routine and a different afternoon routine can exist side by side, each with its own hours and apps. See building a weekly blocking schedule for setting up more than one.
Leave Phone and Messages unselected so you can still be reached the normal way during class. For anything inside a blocked app that genuinely can't wait, each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, then the block resumes automatically for the rest of the period.
If the distraction isn't confined to one class, our block apps while studying page covers longer study sessions, and blocking apps at school covers a routine that runs for the whole school day rather than one period at a time.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. Start a manual session before class begins and set it to run for the length of the period. Selected apps stay locked until the session ends, with no need to remember to stop it.
No. A class-length block uses the same session feature as any other block in Fella, just started for a shorter, specific stretch of time.
15 minutes is Apple's minimum for Screen Time sessions, and Fella does not try to get around it. Most class periods are well above that, so a session can cover a full period without issue.
Yes, with a routine. If your class periods fall at the same time on the same days each week, a routine can start and end the session for you rather than requiring a manual start before every class.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs attention, and the selected apps lock again automatically once the five minutes end.
