app timer

Screen time regulator

An app timer is a feature on smartphones and other devices that tracks or limits how long you use specific applications.

Parents set app timers to restrict children's screen time; adults use them to curb social media habits: I put a thirty-minute app timer on Instagram.

When the limit expires, the app locks or displays a warning.
