I would like an app that hides other apps and their notifications on my phone for a set amount of time. Both icon and notifications. This isn't just "haha, I downloaded pornhub and don't want anyone to know", it's "I want to be able to avoid social media in an out of sight/out of mind way, but still have my phone on me." I don't have to remove the app because it would require re-signing in.

My good fellow, I believe this is referred to as 'putting your phone on silent'

@Rain but I'd still want it to ring or hear a text.. I also don't want to see the app icon. Like I said, out of sight, out of mind. Maybe there is an easier and already established way though.

Oh! In that case you can do that yourself with just a bit of trouble. I use an app called Taskr to put my phone on silent but still notify me from specific people and applications. So you could disable push notifications in most of your apps, put your phone on silent, and then configure Taskr to , when receiving a message that's important to you, unmute your phone, play a chosen sound, and then re-mute your phone.

@Rain I might have to try that. I still want to hide the icon though. Like, if I can't even navigate to it the long way, that's the goal.

@L_D_G on iPhone you can turn off notifications for everything. I do between certain hours and just leave my calendar notifications on.
