PlayLess: Gaming Time Limit

Vehari Center

About this app

Playing a little too much? PlayLess helps you take back control of your gaming time — without deleting the games you love.

Set a daily gaming limit, get gentle break reminders, and let PlayLess step in when it's time to stop. When your limit is reached or it's bedtime, a "Time's up" screen closes the game for you.

🎮 DAILY GAMING LIMIT
• Choose how much you want to play each day — from 15 minutes to 4 hours
• See today's gaming time update in real time with a clear progress ring
• Get a heads-up when you've used 80% of your limit

⏰ TIME'S UP MEANS TIME'S UP
• When you reach your limit, PlayLess shows a full-screen "Time's up" screen over the game
• One "5 more minutes" extension per day — with a short pause to think it over
• Strict mode removes the extension completely

🌙 BEDTIME
• Block all games during the hours you choose, for example 10:00 PM – 7:00 AM
• Better sleep, fewer "just one more round" nights

☕ BREAK REMINDERS
• A friendly nudge every 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes of continuous play
• Rest your eyes, stretch, drink some water

📊 WEEKLY STATS & STREAKS
• Bar chart of your gaming time for the last 7 days
• Daily average, best day and days within your limit
• Build a streak of days within your limit
• See how much less you played compared to last week

✅ YOU CHOOSE WHAT COUNTS
• Games on your phone are detected automatically
• Turn tracking on or off for any app

🔒 100% PRIVATE
• No account, no sign-up
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Works fully offline — your data never leaves your phone

HOW IT WORKS
PlayLess uses Android's Usage Access permission to measure how long games are open on your device, and the "Display over other apps" permission to show the Time's up screen on top of a game. All of this happens on your device only.

Great for gamers who want healthier habits, students who need to focus, and anyone who feels their phone games take more time than they should.

Play less. Live more.
