A Fella routine blocks Discord starting the moment you wake up and holds until mid-morning, so the first twenty minutes of the day happen somewhere other than checking a server.
Trusted by 500+ people
Whatever happened overnight in a server is still there waiting, and checking it first thing is an easy way to lose the first twenty minutes of the day before you've done anything else. Fella does not have a feature named for mornings. It has routines: a schedule you set once that starts a real blocking session automatically, applied here to the hours right after you wake up, scoped to just Discord.
Build a routine that starts before you wake and ends mid-morning. Select Discord on its own, and the routine locks it before there's a chance to open it out of habit.
Leave your alarm and anything else you need first thing unselected. Selection in Fella is per app, so the block only covers what you choose.
A morning block should never mean cut off. Leave Phone and Messages off the blocked list so you can still be reached the normal way. For the one time Discord genuinely can't wait, each session includes a single 5-minute emergency unlock, then the block resumes automatically for the rest of the morning.
For the habit side of why the first check happens at all, see our stop checking your phone in the morning guide. For blocking Discord all day, not just the morning, see how to block Discord on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. A routine starts a blocking session on the days and times you choose, so a morning Discord block begins on its own before you pick up your phone, rather than needing to be turned on.
No. A morning block uses the same routine and session mechanism as any other Fella block, just set to start when you wake up and end mid-morning, scoped to Discord.
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a morning routine can block Discord specifically while leaving your alarm, messages, and anything else you need untouched.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs checking, and Discord locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
Intending not to check rarely survives the first notification of the day. A routine removes the decision entirely by making the app unavailable before you've picked the phone up.
