⏰ SOCIAL MEDIA TIME LIMITER — TAKE BACK YOUR TIME

Spending too much time on Facebook and Instagram without realising it?

HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────────────

1. Set your daily time limit (e.g. 30 minutes)
2. Browse normally — the extension quietly tracks your time
3. When you hit your limit:
   → Your browser sends you a notification
   → The page turns RED with a full-screen alert
   → You're reminded to stop and take a break
