A Fella routine blocks the dating apps you choose for the hours you work, automatically, every workday. Email, calendar, and everything else on your phone stays exactly as it is.

A dating app is built around a constant stream of new profiles and messages, which makes "just checking for matches" a natural way to lose a chunk of the workday. If Slack, email, and your other tools are fine and it's specifically dating apps pulling you away between tasks, blocking your whole phone is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just those apps and set the hours, nothing else changes.
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose the dating apps you use and leave everything else, including messaging apps you rely on for work, completely untouched.
Set a routine for your working hours and it runs on its own. Weekdays nine to five, or whatever your actual schedule is, starts and ends the block automatically without a manual toggle each morning.
A new match or message feels personally relevant in a way a work notification doesn't, which makes it one of the hardest categories to ignore mid-task. Blocking the app removes the option to check at all, rather than relying on willpower every time a notification lands.
A work-hours block should never cut off something genuinely important. Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, enough to reply to a specific conversation that actually can't wait, and the selected apps lock again automatically once the five minutes end.
If other apps are part of the same problem, not just dating apps, see our broader block apps during work page. For blocking dating apps outside work hours too, see our dating app blocker guide.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a routine can block the specific dating apps you use while leaving email, calendar, and work tools completely untouched.
Yes, with a routine. Set it to the weekdays and hours you work, and it starts the block on its own each of those days without needing to be turned on.
No. This uses the same routine and session mechanism as any other Fella block. The only difference is which apps you select and which hours you set.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something real comes up, and the selected apps lock again automatically once the five minutes end.
If dating apps specifically are what eat time and everything else is fine, blocking just that category keeps the setup simple and leaves the rest of your phone exactly as useful as it was.
