Timeline Blocker for X/Twitter

Tracking since May 22, 2026.

Changelog

• Jun 4, 2026
  description

  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.

  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.
