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

A timeline never actually ends, and that's exactly what makes it easy to justify "just checking" between work tasks. If Slack, email, and your other tools are fine and it's specifically X pulling you away during the day, blocking your whole phone is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just X and set the hours, nothing else changes.
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose X 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.
There's no natural stopping point. A video ends, a message gets answered, but a timeline just keeps refreshing with something new. "One quick check" during a work break has nothing telling it when to stop, which is exactly why it tends to run long.
A work-hours block should never cut off something genuinely necessary. Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, enough to check a specific post or reply that actually can't wait, and X locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
If other apps are part of the same problem, not just X, see our broader block social media during work hours page, or block apps during work for every category of distraction together. For blocking X outside work hours too, see how to block X on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a routine can block X specifically while leaving email, calendar, and work tools completely untouched.
Yes, with a routine. Set it to the weekdays and hours you work, and it starts the block on its own each of those days without needing to be turned on.
No. This uses the same routine and session mechanism as any other Fella block. The only difference is which app you select and which hours you set.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something real comes up, and X locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
If X specifically is the app that eats time and everything else is fine, blocking just that one keeps the setup simple and leaves the rest of your phone exactly as useful as it was.
