How the generator builds your schedule
Every window is a simple interval, like 09:00 to 12:00. The generator adds the minutes in all windows to get the total per day, then multiplies by the days you picked.
| Day | Windows | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Mon – Fri | 09:00 – 12:00, 14:00 – 18:00 | 7h |
| Saturday | — | — |
| Sunday | — | — |
| Week total | 2 windows × 5 days | 35h |
Which apps to include
Start narrow. If Instagram Reels or TikTok drive most of the scroll, block those first. The schedule feels lighter and you keep it longer.
- Short-form video: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts
- Social timelines: X, Reddit, Facebook, Threads
- Evening unwind: Netflix, YouTube
- Impulse pulls: Tinder, Roblox, Amazon
How to pick hours that actually help
Anchor blocks to the moments you know are expensive: morning scroll, the afternoon dip, and the hour before sleep.
Make the schedule stick
A schedule only matters if something enforces it. iPhone limits let you tap Ignore Limit with your own passcode. See how to stop or use Fella to block the apps you pick with one emergency unlock. To choose the hours first, try the other free screen time tools.
App blocking schedule FAQs
No. The generator builds the plan in your browser so you can see the hours clearly. To enforce it, create the same schedule as a Fella routine or with Screen Time Downtime. Fella blocks the apps you choose and each session allows one 5-minute emergency unlock.
The generator flags overlaps and keeps the invalid schedule hidden until you move one window so they no longer share minutes. Overlaps make the total hours double-counted and are harder to keep, so it is worth fixing them before you copy.
Yes. Because a single window must end after it starts, overnight needs two windows: 22:00 to 00:00 and 00:00 to 07:00. Select every day you want that overnight block to apply and the generator will count it correctly for each day.
No. Everything stays in your browser. Reloading the page clears the apps, days and windows you entered. Copy the schedule before you close the tab if you want to keep it.
Most people use two or three: a deep-focus block for work, an evening block for unwind time, and optionally a night block. One gentle rule you keep is better than four strict ones you drop after two days.
Start with the one or two feeds where time disappears: usually short-form video, social or a game. Adding every distracting app on day one makes the schedule feel punitive. Start narrow, keep it for a week, then add the next trigger if needed.
