Exam week is the one stretch where a single scroll session has a real, dated cost, and social media is usually the specific category doing the damage. If it's the feeds, not the whole phone, that pull you away during revision, blocking everything is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just the social apps and set the days, nothing else changes.
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose the social apps that actually pull you away—Instagram, TikTok, X, whatever it is for you—and leave messaging, notes, and study apps untouched.
Build a routine for the days school runs exams, and it starts the block itself every one of those days, so there is nothing to remember at 8am with a paper at 10.
A feed has no natural stopping point, which makes it the easiest category to lose an hour to between revision sessions. Unlike a game with a defined round or a video that ends, a feed is designed to keep refreshing, exactly when attention is most fragile.
Exam week is exactly when a blocker with no way through would be a problem. A group chat might carry a genuine last-minute change to room or time. Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, enough to check the one thing that matters, then the selected apps lock again automatically for the rest of the day.
If games or other apps are also part of the problem during exam week, see our broader block apps during exams page. For the ongoing student case beyond exam season, see app blocker for students.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a routine can block Instagram, TikTok, and similar apps for exam week while leaving messaging, notes, and any study apps untouched.
No. This uses the same session and routine mechanism as any other Fella block, just scoped to social apps and applied for the days of exam week.
Yes, with a routine. Set it to the days and hours you're revising or sitting exams, and it starts the block itself each of those days without needing to be turned on.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs checking, and the selected apps lock again automatically once the five minutes end.
If social media specifically is what pulls you away and games or other apps aren't the problem, blocking just that category keeps the setup simple and leaves everything else exactly as useful as it was.
