Timeline Blocker for X/Twitter
1 rating
)Overview
Limit your X/Twitter timeline to 5 minutes per hour. Optional permanent lock for notifications. DMs and posting stay open.
Spend less time doom-scrolling without giving up X/Twitter entirely. How it works • When you visit x.com/home or x.com/explore, you'll see a "Browse Timeline" button. • Clicking it starts a 5-minute browsing window. • When the 5 minutes are up, the feeds lock for the rest of the hour. • A countdown badge on the toolbar shows how much time you have left. Choose your level on install • When you first install the extension, you'll pick whether the Notifications tab should also be limited. • Leave it open, or lock it down so notifications share the same 5-minute window as your timeline. • This choice is permanent by design — so you can't quietly loosen the rules on yourself later. What always stays open • DMs (x.com/messages) • Composing posts (x.com/compose/post) • Individual tweets, profiles, bookmarks, settings — everything except the home and explore feeds (and notifications, if you chose to lock them). Why this works when willpower doesn't • The 5-min-per-hour cycle is restrictive enough that you stop opening X out of habit, but generous enough that you don't feel cut off. • Making the notifications choice permanent removes the "just this once" loophole that breaks most screen-time tools. • No accounts, no servers — the timer lives only on your device. This extension contains a small, unobtrusive link to post-bridge.com (our cross-posting tool for creators), which helps us keep this extension free.
