The stream stays off.
Everything else, business as usual.

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

A live stream doesn't have a natural pause point, and "just have it on in the background" during a task tends to become the thing you're actually watching. If Slack, email, and your other tools are fine and it's specifically Twitch pulling you away during the day, blocking your whole phone is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Twitch and set the hours, nothing else changes.

Select the one app, not the whole phone

Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Twitch 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 a live stream is harder to close than a video

A recorded video ends. A stream doesn't. There's always more chat, another round, another moment worth waiting for, which means a stream left running during work tends to keep pulling focus back to it in a way a finished video can't.

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 a specific channel that actually can't wait, and Twitch locks again automatically once the five minutes end.

If it's more than just Twitch

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

Fella, up close.
