You might like an app I made called Space.

The idea of a hard block on tech is intuitive, but it doesn't do anything to undermine the habitual learning in tech addiction; it just frustrates it for a fixed amount of time.

Space focuses on slowly undermining the compulsions behind tech addiction. So that, over time, you don't have the impulse to open the app anymore.

If you try it out, let me know what you think!

I tried to work out how Space worked on iOS, before I downloaded it. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything in the app’s description or website that stops me from launching the Facebook app the over Space app.
