Keep dinner free from feeds
Make room for a meal and a conversation without a quick scroll in between.
Before you start
Open Tysh on your iPhone and grant Screen Time access when prompted.
Choose an App List in Blocks → Active → App Lists, or create one from the block editor. Free includes one list you can reuse. Additional lists require Premium.
Let’s set it up.
Create a dinner block
Open Blocks → + → Time Block and name it Dinner.
Choose Hard
Select your distracting-app list and choose Hard.
Set dinner time
Select every day, turn All Day off, and enter 18:30–19:30.
Save the schedule
Tap Create.
What happens next
The selected apps wait until dinner is over. Hard removes the Pause option, so there is no short break from this block.
If your plans change
End for Today is still available. Hard is a firmer commitment, not an impossible-to-end block. A block's type is fixed after creation; choose Easy initially if you want pauses.
Another active protection can still keep the same app blocked. After setup, check that your boundary saved and enabled successfully.
