Block social media until daily reviews are done

AnkiMobile (iPhone/iPad) Suggestions

I’d love an option in AnkiMobile that allows users to choose whether to temporarily block social media apps until they finish their daily reviews.

Similar to a recent update in Duolingo (https://www.threads.com/@floperillat/post/DUqHAIGCADp), but arguably even better suited to Anki’s daily review system. In Duolingo’s case, this was implemented via Apple Screen Time, and I imagine Anki could leverage the same system to enable this kind of focus lock.

Why would it be useful? Personally, I often review 3/4 cards, then start doomscrolling (hehe 2026 problems), which makes my daily reviews take much longer than necessary. An optional focus lock tied to “0 cards due” on decks of our choice would be incredibly helpful.

I regularly see people routinely and without hesitation bypassing their screen time limits. Just delete your social media apps. You’ll have plenty of time for Anki.

You can block them with a pin. You just have to let someone else decide of your pin.
