One more Netflix episode
shouldn’t cost the whole night.

A Fella routine locks Netflix at the same time every night and holds until morning, so the decision to stop happens once, when you set it up, instead of every night in bed.

The next episode is already queued before you've decided whether to keep watching, which is exactly what turns "one more" into a much later bedtime. If Netflix on your phone is the one app doing that and the rest of your phone isn't the problem, a routine scoped to just Netflix is simpler than blocking everything.

One app, one nightly routine

Select Netflix on its own and set the start time to whenever you actually want to stop, and the end time to whenever you get up. The routine begins the session on its own, so there is nothing to close once you're already in bed.

Everything else on your phone stays untouched, including messaging, your alarm, and anything else you might reach for at night.

This covers your iPhone, not every screen

Be clear about the scope. Fella blocks the Netflix app on your iPhone. It does not reach a TV or a laptop, so if late-night watching happens on a bigger screen, the phone-level block alone won't cover that.

Still reachable for anything real

Leave Phone, Messages, and your alarm off the blocked list entirely, so those keep working exactly as normal. For the one time something genuinely can't wait, each session includes a single 5-minute emergency unlock, then Netflix locks again automatically.

If it's more than just Netflix

If other apps are part of the same bedtime pattern, not just Netflix, see our broader block streaming apps before bed page, or stop scrolling at night for the behavior side of why this happens. For blocking Netflix beyond bedtime too, see how to block Netflix on iPhone.

Fella, up close.

  • Built with Apple’s Screen Time controls.
