## Description

**Time Warp [ROOT]** is a unique Chrome extension designed to help you avoid tardiness by setting your device's clock ahead by a random number of minutes. Unlike manually setting your clock forward—where you're always aware of the exact difference—Time Warp changes the time offset periodically to keep you guessing, making you inherently more punctual.

This extension requires root access on your device to function and won't work otherwise. It's perfect for keeping New Year's resolutions or anyone wanting to improve time management. Remember to turn Time Warp off before uninstalling to restore your correct device time. If uninstalled accidentally without turning off, reinstall and disable it properly. Donations are welcome to support development.
