Limit your LinkedIn usage on iPhone
Set limits on LinkedIn before it sets limits on you.

Professional anxiety masquerades as productivity
Scrolling job posts and layoff threads while calling it networking is still doomscrolling. A daily limit makes the distinction real.
Humble-brag feeds compound imposter syndrome
Promotions, launches, and thought-leadership posts set an impossible baseline that accumulates silently across your career.
Notification bait keeps re-engagement high
"X viewed your profile" and "Congratulate Y on their new role" are engineered to pull you back compulsively throughout the day.
How it works
Set your limit
Choose apps to block. Pick a daily time limit or lock specific hours — mornings, bedtime, whenever you drift.
Apps get blocked
Hit the limit and they lock. Built on Apple Screen Time — system-level, no workarounds.
Earn your 5 minutes
Before a blocked app opens, choose your reason and hold through a breathing pause. Five minutes of access. Then the block returns.
FAQ
Can I limit LinkedIn to certain hours only?
Yes. Restricted Hours lets you lock LinkedIn during specific windows — mornings, bedtime, or whenever you drift — while leaving it open the rest of the day. You can create up to 3 schedules, each with a start time, end time, and active days. Schedules can cross midnight.
Apple Screen Time limits apps silently. Kaizen Focus adds an intentional override flow — when you tap a blocked app, you must select a reason and hold a button for 5 seconds through a breathing animation before getting 5 minutes of access. Adaptive limits also tighten automatically as your habits improve.
Adaptive mode tracks your usage over time. When you consistently stay under your current limit, Kaizen Focus suggests lowering it — for example from 60 to 55 minutes. You can accept or dismiss. This gradually reduces your screen time without manual effort.
You go through a 3-step flow: select a reason (like "Quick check" or "Work-related"), hold a button for 5 seconds while a breathing animation plays, then get 5 minutes of access. After 5 minutes the block automatically reactivates.
Any app on your iPhone — Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, and others. Kaizen Focus uses Apple's Screen Time API for system-level enforcement. There are no workarounds.
