TimerX: Screen Time & Blocker

TimerX needs Android Accessibility Service permission to function properly. This allows TimerX to detect when selected apps are opened, start app timers, and show blocking screens at the right moment. TimerX only reads app launch/foreground events for the apps you add timers for. No Accessibility Service data leaves your phone.

Are you tired of mindless scrolling? TimerX is a smart screen-time controller designed to help you reclaim your day without forcing you to uninstall your favourite apps.

Instead of completely locking you out without context, TimerX introduces a mindful intercept. When you try to open a distracting app, TimerX shows a short countdown overlay with your current tasks, habits, and goals. It gives you a pause before you scroll and reminds you of what you actually planned to do.

Combined with daily limits, app timers, usage reports, and streak tracking, TimerX helps you build a healthier relationship with your phone.

🚀 Key Features:

The Mindful Overlay: A smart splash/countdown screen appears before opening distracting apps, breaking the cycle of impulsive tapping.

Goal & Task Reminders: Your personal tasks, habits, and goals are displayed right on the block overlay to remind you of what’s truly important.

Per-App Timers & Limits: Set strict daily time limits or specific usage rules for social media, games, and other time-sinks.

Usage Reports & Insights: Track your daily screen time, app open counts, and long-term trends to measure your progress.

Streak Tracking: Gamify your digital detox! Build and maintain streaks for staying under your daily app limits.

Strict Mode & PIN Lock: Prevent yourself from bypassing limits, or use the Parental PIN to lock settings for younger users.

Background Efficiency: Runs seamlessly in the background with minimal battery drain.

👑 Premium Features:
Upgrade to unlock advanced timer customization, unlimited planner items (tasks/habits) for your overlays, and deep aesthetic controls.

Take control of your time, remember your goals, and break bad habits today with TimerX!
