Pinterest rarely feels like idle scrolling, even when it is. "Just planning something" reads as productive, which makes it easy to lose a study session to it without noticing. If Pinterest specifically is the app that turns a planned hour of studying into browsing unrelated boards, and the rest of your phone is fine, blocking everything is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Pinterest and leave the rest of your phone alone.
If you're actually using Pinterest for the assignment—research, references, a mood board for a project—blocking it gets in the way of the work itself. If it's unrelated boards and recommendations pulling you away, that drift is what a block is for.
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Pinterest on its own 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.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, for the rare case something genuinely needs checking mid-session. When the five minutes end, Pinterest locks again automatically for the rest of the session.
If social media in general, or games, are also part of the problem, not just Pinterest, see our broader block apps while studying guide. For blocking Pinterest beyond study time as well, see how to block Pinterest on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.

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 Pinterest and applied during study time.
It can be. If you're actively researching or building a board for an assignment, blocking it gets in the way of that work. This page is for the more common case: opening it for one idea and losing the session to unrelated boards.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs checking, and Pinterest locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
