XCoach

Tame the X (formerly Twitter) beast, without abandoning the platform!

XCoach sends you to an intervention page every time you navigate to X, but it never stops you from visiting. The intervention page is a reflection mechanism that offers:

• A reminder of your priorities,
• Insight into how long you've spent on X today and historically
• The ability to start timed X sessions, and
• A snooze feature for when you need a bit more time.

XCoach is most effective when combined with deleting the mobile X app. You can enjoy all X has to offer through your desktop browser. You can read more about the philosophy of XCoach here: https://medium.com/@baogorek/xcoach-a-chrome-extension-for-a-desktop-x-addiction-c229161c455a

XCoach's privacy policy is located at https://mailchi.mp/4f4a32bb4dd9/xcoach. The only way any information comes to me is if you fill out one of the Mailchimp forms linked in the footer. I do hope you join the mailing list.

XCoach uses a "content script" to show a warning bar on X two minutes prior to closing, and to allow for a one minute snooze functionality (see the screenshot). It is a very unintrusive addition to the X page that can be easily dismissed.

Please give me feedback, whether you plan to install the extension or not. You can email me (Ben) at [email protected].
