Timeline Blocker for X/Twitter
Overview
Limit X/Twitter timeline scrolling to 5 minutes per hour. DMs, notifications, and posting stay fully accessible.
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 timeline locks for the rest of the hour. • A countdown badge on the toolbar shows how much time you have left. What stays open • DMs (x.com/messages) • Notifications (x.com/notifications) • Composing posts (x.com/compose/post) • Individual tweets, profiles, bookmarks, settings — everything except the home and explore feeds. Why this works when willpower doesn't • The default 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. • No accounts, no servers — the timer lives only in 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.
