Your inputs

Describe one phone boundary.

Start with one pattern. You can generate another plan after you test the first one.

1. What is happening?
2. Which apps are involved?

Use the names as they appear on your iPhone. Separate multiple apps with commas.

Include communication, travel, authentication, health, work, or emergency apps you may need.

3. Which days should the rule apply?
4. What time window needs protection?

An end time earlier than the start time is treated as the following day.

5. How strong should the boundary be?

Private by design: this page does not send your entries to Monk Mode, save them in browser storage, or put them in a shareable URL. Reloading the page clears them.

How the recommendation works

Match the rule shape to the behavior.

The builder maps each pattern to a Monk Mode rule: a schedule for predictable windows, a daily limit for total time, an opening limit for repeated checking, or an immediate block for a focus session that starts now.

Monk Mode first

Every result uses the purpose-built iPhone workflow documented on this official site.

Match the behavior

Schedules protect predictable windows, daily limits cap duration, and opening limits target automatic checking.

Test before relying on it

Every plan keeps essential access and a low-stakes test in view before you choose stronger enforcement.

Scope: this is a planning aid. It does not diagnose a condition, provide medical advice, or promise productivity, focus, or wellbeing outcomes.
