Turning: App Blocker for Study

Turning is an app blocker for study that helps you cut screen time and break phone addiction. Block apps that pull you in — social media, short videos, games — and keep your focus on what matters. Whether it's finals week, SAT or ACT prep, or a college application essay that won't write itself, Turning keeps the phone out of the way. In Deep Focus Mode (subscription), the Deep Focus Timer works as a study timer that keeps your Disturbing Apps shut until it ends. “Just 10 more minutes... Just one more video... I'll start tomorrow, for real... Wait, what time is it?” If doom scrolling keeps eating your nights, take back those hours and use only the apps you truly need. — ■ A screen time app with 400K+ downloads in 160+ countries ■ Based on Turning user data, average daily screen time went from 6 hours before Turning to 2 hours 30 minutes after (individual results vary) ■ Research on Turning's effectiveness, based on behavioral science data, is in progress with Yonsei University's Applied Statistics Lab — ▶ Who is Turning for? • Students studying for finals, SAT or ACT prep, or AP exams who need a study timer that keeps the phone quiet • Seniors juggling college apps who keep losing an hour to “just checking” social media • Anyone who can't stop scrolling YouTube Shorts, TikTok or Instagram Reels before bed • People who lose whole evenings to doom scrolling and want to limit screen time • Anyone who wants a dopamine detox or simply more time with family and friends • Anyone who has tried everything to beat phone addiction — ▶ Use apps intentionally, not habitually As an app blocker, Turning keeps your distractions locked 24 hours a day.
