This isn't a page against music while studying. It's for a narrower problem: opening Spotify to pick a song and ending up scrolling playlists for ten minutes instead. If Spotify plays quietly in the background while you focus, blocking it removes something useful, not the distraction. This page is for the case where the app itself, not the music, is what breaks a study session.
If music genuinely helps you focus, pick a playlist before you start and leave the app alone from there; blocking it would remove something that's working. If you keep reopening it to change the song, check a new release, or browse recommendations, that habit is the actual distraction, and blocking the app removes the option to keep doing it mid-session.
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Spotify 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, enough to change a playlist or fix something that's genuinely bothering you. When the five minutes end, Spotify locks again automatically for the rest of the session.
Blocking the app does not touch your account. Your playlists, saved music, and library stay exactly as they were once the session ends.
If social media, games, or general phone use is also part of the problem, not just Spotify, see our broader block apps while studying guide. For blocking Spotify beyond study time as well, see how to block Spotify on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Only if Spotify itself is the distraction, not the music. If you use it for background music while you focus, blocking it removes something useful. This page is for the case where you keep opening the app to change songs, browse playlists, or check what's new, and that habit is what breaks focus.
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a study session can block Spotify specifically 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 Spotify and applied during study time.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs adjusting, and Spotify locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
