The stream stays off.
Everything else stays open.

Select Twitch, start a session or set a routine for when you study, and only Twitch locks. Notes, messaging, and study apps keep working normally.

A live stream doesn't have a natural pause point the way a video does, and "just check the chat" rarely stays quick. If Twitch specifically is the app that turns a planned hour of studying into background noise that becomes the main event, and the rest of your phone is fine, blocking everything is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Twitch and leave the rest of your phone alone.

Select Twitch, leave the rest

Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Twitch 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.

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 that feels worth waiting for, which means "in the background while I study" tends to become the thing you're actually watching. Blocking it removes that option before the stream even loads.

One way through, if something real comes up

Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, for the rare case something on a followed channel genuinely needs checking mid-session. When the five minutes end, Twitch locks again automatically for the rest of the session.

If it's more than just Twitch

If games, social media, or general phone use is also part of the problem, not just Twitch, see our broader block apps while studying guide. For blocking Twitch beyond study time as well, see how to block Twitch on iPhone.
