Toilet Health Timer: RHOIDS

Set a limit, get an alert, block distracting apps, and leave the toilet on time. Prevent damage. RHOIDS keeps bathroom breaks short with a private, science-backed timer.

RHOIDS does one thing: it helps you get off the toilet on time.

Long bathroom breaks are easy to turn into phone-scrolling sessions. RHOIDS gives you a clear timer, simple presets, and reminders on the screens you already use so you know when it is time to get up.

The app is based on a simple idea backed by real medical guidance: spending less time sitting on the toilet is better for your body. A 2025 Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess study published in PLOS One linked smartphone use on the toilet with a 46% higher risk of hemorrhoids. The same study found that 37% of phone users spent more than five minutes per bathroom visit.

RHOIDS helps you break that pattern without turning it into a whole wellness routine.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

RHOIDS is for a private habit, so the app keeps things private.

• No accounts
• No tracking
• No ads
• No social features
• No third-party dependencies
• Session history stays on your device

RHOIDS also includes an in-app Science section with the research behind the timer recommendations, including the 2025 PLOS One smartphone-use study and guidance from major medical sources.

This app is a behavior timer, not a medical device or medical treatment. If you have bleeding, pain, persistent symptoms, or medical concerns, talk with a qualified healthcare professional.
