Shortcut to disable phone for the night
Hi everyone,
I’d like to create a shortcut that triggers when I hold my phone near a NFC tag before to bed. The idea is to disable apps like Instagram, YouTube, etc., and keep them blocked until I scan the same NFC tag again in the morning.
I’m not very experienced with automations or Shortcuts, so my questions are:
• Is this even possible on iOS?
• Has anyone already made something like this (maybe without using NFC)?
• Or does anyone have an idea how such a shortcut could be set up?
