App Timer
Set a fair daily allowance for any app and let Onlid automatically enforce it when the time is up.
What is an App Timer?
An app timer is a per-app daily usage limit that you set yourself. Rather than blocking an app entirely, an app timer gives you a controlled allowance—say 30 minutes for Instagram or 45 minutes for YouTube. You get to enjoy the app guilt-free within that window, and Onlid steps in and locks it once the time is up. It's the perfect balance between moderation and enjoyment.
How App Timers Work
Set Your Limit
Choose any app installed on your phone and set a daily time limit that works for you. Whether it's 15 minutes or 2 hours, you're in complete control of how much time each app gets per day.
Gentle Nudge
Onlid sends you a friendly notification when you're getting close to your daily limit. This heads-up gives you a chance to wrap up naturally, rather than being cut off mid-scroll without warning.
Auto-Lock
Once your daily limit is reached, Onlid automatically locks the app for the rest of the day. No manual effort required — the system handles it so you don't have to fight the urge to open it again.
Daily Reset
Every day is a fresh start. Your app timers automatically reset at midnight so the apps you restricted become available again, ready for your new allowance the next day.
Perfect for Social Media, Games & YouTube
App timers are especially powerful for the most addictive apps on your phone. Set a sensible daily limit for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or your favourite mobile game, and let Onlid enforce it automatically. You still get to enjoy these apps — just not at the cost of your time, focus, and wellbeing.
