UNSUPPORTED
Did it ever happen to you: you just want to watch one video and then end up watching for 5 hours and instead of being productive you go to bed late and wake up groggy the next morning being upset about staying up late again?
Or maybe you feel like you would like to have more time in your life? Maybe your watching habit is silently stealing your precious free time from you and you could get 5-10 additional hours per week for this project you always wanted to do?
With watchlimits you can both get insights into your watching and also set the limits that will work with your life.
It's not about not watching at all, it's about not getting sucked in and watching more than you would like, losing out on sleep or opportunities to do other activities that are also important to you.
FLEXIBLE LIMITS
You can easily set limits for your time on YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Crunchyroll. When video is not visible or not playing it doesn't count. You can allow up to 5 channels that don't count against the limits if you use them for productive purpose.
