Select the games that eat your study time, start a session or set a routine for when you study, and only those games lock. Notes, messaging, and study apps keep working normally.

Games are a specific kind of study distraction: they don't just interrupt once, they pull an entire session sideways. If it's specifically a game, or a small handful of them, that turns a planned hour of studying into something else, blocking your whole phone is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just those apps and leave the rest of your phone alone.
Selection in Fella is per app. Pick the specific games that pull you away from studying and leave messaging, notes, and any study apps you rely on completely untouched.
Start a manual session for one sitting, or build a routine for the days and hours you study regularly so the block starts itself without a decision each time.
A game rarely costs just a minute. Most mobile games are built around a session loop, a match, a level, a round, that doesn't have a natural stopping point the way checking a message does. "One quick round" tends to become the rest of the study block.
Blocking the game removes the option entirely, rather than relying on stopping partway through a match once it's already started.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, for the rare case something genuinely needs attention inside a blocked app. When the five minutes end, the game locks again automatically for the rest of the session.
If social media, messaging, or general phone use is also part of the problem, not just games, see our broader block apps while studying guide. For blocking games beyond study time as well, see how to block games on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a study session can block the specific games you play while leaving messaging, notes, and any study apps untouched.
Both. Start a manual session before you sit down to study, or build a routine for the days and hours you study regularly, and it starts the block on its own.
No. This uses the same session and routine mechanism as any other Fella block, just scoped to games and applied during study time.
You can. Selection is per app, so a single game can be blocked on its own, or grouped with others in the same session.
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.
