Stop doom-scrolling. Start choosing.
TimerX is an app timer, screen time tracker, and distraction blocker that helps you limit social media, reduce phone addiction, and stay focused—without harsh lockouts. Gentle pre-open countdowns and on-screen overlays turn impulsive taps into mindful choices so you can get back to what matters.

What you can do

Set per-app limits by minutes or number of opens (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, etc.).

Run session timers for focused bursts (Pomodoro-style or custom).

Use Focus Mode or Strict Mode to curb “just one more scroll.”

Add tasks, goals, and habits that appear on the overlay for productive nudges.

View daily & weekly insights: total screen time, opens per day, top time sinks, trends.

Why it works

A tiny pause before opening a distracting app breaks the autopilot loop. Real-time overlays remind you of limits as they’re reached, so closing the app becomes the easy, intentional choice.
