Open source time limiting with lots of options. Unfortunately you can only block apps, not websites

Great app for self-restriction for people with a lack of self-control, I recommend it to everyone. You can finetune everything to your liking. It works as a not-so-gentle reminder you have to put away your phone and go to sleep. I like especially the feature where you can put a (preferably long) passphrase to access further 10 minutes on an app. It actually helps to disrupt doomscrolling.

How much it helps me I only realize when once in a few months the app crushes (I have to restart it then) and without the app reminding me, I keep doing nonsense on the phone until it's tomorrow, without even noticing it.

The ultimate F-Droid setup (300+ Apps)

WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily. CATEGORIES : F-Droid clients Utilities Social & Communication / 8 subcategories Health / 7 subcategories Customization / 3 subcategories Gaming / 3 subcategories Internet / 6 subcategories Productivity / 15 subcategories Privacy / 5 subcategories Security / 4 subcategories Media apps / 10 subcategories If you care about privacy check : Privacy focused OS for everyone My privacy and user friendly setup For more FOSS Android apps check : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android DISCLAIMERS : Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list ! English is not my mother tongue ^^'

What is TimeLimit.io?

Apps are grouped to categories (a category can contain one or multiple App).

You can chose per category at which times it should be allowed. This allows preventing playing games too late.

Additionally, you can configure time limit rules. These rules limit the total usage duration at one day or over multiple days (e.g. a weekend). It is possible to combine both, e.g. 2 hours per week end day, but in total only 3 hours.

Moreover, there is the possibility to set an extra time. This allows using something longer than regulary once. This can be used as bonus. There is additionally the option to disable all time limits temporarily (e.g. for the whole day or an hour).

Multi user support

There is the scenario that one device is used by exactly one user. However, with tablets, there are often multiple possible users. Due to that, it is possible to create multiple user profiles in TimeLimit. Each user has got different settings and time counters. There are two kinds of users: parents and children. If a parent was chosen as user, then there are no restrictions. Parents can chose any other user as current user. Children can only chose themselves as current user.

Multi device support

There are scenarios in which one user has got multiple devices. Instead of time limits per device and splitting the limits across the devices, it is possible to assign one user to multiple devices. Then the usage durations are counted together and allowing an App automatically affects all devices. Depending on the settings, only one device per time can be used or multiple devices at the same time. However, un the second case, it is possible to use more time than available e.g. at connection interruptions.

Connected

It is possible to view and change settings from any linked device. This connection is possible - if wanted - using your server.
