TikTok closes at nine.
Everything else, business as usual.

A Fella routine blocks TikTok for the hours you work, automatically, every workday. Email, calendar, and everything else on your phone stays exactly as it is.

TikTok's whole design is built around never quite finishing, and a workday full of small gaps is exactly where that gets expensive. If Slack, email, and your other tools are fine and it's specifically TikTok pulling you away between tasks, blocking your whole phone is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just TikTok and set the hours, nothing else changes.

Select the one app, not the whole phone

Selection in Fella is per app. Choose TikTok on its own and leave everything else, including messaging apps you rely on for work, completely untouched.

Set a routine for your working hours and it runs on its own. Weekdays nine to five, or whatever your actual schedule is, starts and ends the block automatically without a manual toggle each morning.

Why TikTok specifically eats a workday

A single video is short enough to feel free. That's the problem: fifteen seconds costs nothing on its own, but the feed is built to hand you another one before you've decided to stop, and a five-minute break between tasks turns into twenty-five without any single moment where that felt like a choice.

Still reachable for anything real

A work-hours block should never cut off something genuinely necessary. Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, enough to check something specific that actually can't wait, and TikTok locks again automatically once the five minutes end.

If it's more than just TikTok

If other apps are part of the same problem, not just TikTok, see our broader block social media during work hours page, or block apps during work for every category of distraction together. For blocking TikTok outside work hours too, see how to block TikTok on iPhone.
