A tiny companion that makes limits easier to keep.
Set daily, scheduled, or category-based limits for distracting sites. Start focus sessions, get timely reminders, and review your progress with a companion that lives right on the page.
Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera. No account required.
Built for the moments when a tab wins your attention.
Tab Timer combines active-tab tracking, clear rules, and small interruptions that make it easier to leave before the scroll takes over.
Set the boundaries once
Use default, per-site, category, and schedule-based limits so the rules match your day.
Let the pet interrupt the loop
The companion tracks active-tab time, warns at 5 minutes remaining, and nudges you when the limit is reached.
Choose the next action
Snooze, pause for today, continue anyway, close the tab, or reset just one website when you need a clean slate.
Flexible limits
Set a 30-minute default, override specific sites, group categories, or make schedules like 10 minutes during work and 60 after 6 PM.
Focus sessions
Start a 25-minute session where only approved sites are allowed. Distracting pages can be blocked until the session ends.
Human reminders
Use gentle, strict, funny, silent, or custom messages with optional soft chimes, near-limit warnings, snooze, pause, and page dimming.
Stats and streaks
Review today, this week, average daily usage, daily totals, clean days, current streak, and best streak.
Pets with personality
Pick built-in companions, upload SVG/GIF pets, assign pets per website, or switch the companion into a clock or countdown timer.
Local control
Import/export settings, reset all usage, or reset a single website. Settings stay local and no account is required.
