30 second warning before intervention

Feature Request🍏 iOS♾️ All Platforms

I would love it if 30 seconds before the intervention starts again, I got a little pop up warning me of time left (or even better, a timer counting down to the intervention). I find the biggest reason I log back in is to finish a reel which is where the cycle starts again.

    Hi there @Nikole Rose Klodowska (Niki) and @Todd Greve

    on iOS we have different options to target that behavior:

    • The Don’t Get Lost Notifications have an extra feature that reminds you when 50% of your time is left.

    • Also the Dynamic Island Timer feature shows you the time prominently for how long you are scrolling.

    Would that help with your use case?

    And: Which platform are you using?

    Here to help

      I'm on Android and don't see anything like that yet. Any chance they are on the way over to Android soon too? For me the problem is closer to the end of the time. Knowing how long it's been going is certainly better than now, but I need to pay attention to how long I selected before the next intervention for that to really help. Even if most of the time I go for the full time possible, I've got different limits on a few apps.

    Show when my window is closing

    Most of the time that I trigger the intervention is because I get part way through a game, reel or video when the session ends and I feel the need to finish it, but once I do, since I'm there, just one more…

    I know it's impossible for you to detect a logical break within the apps, but how about displaying a count down on the screen when we get to a few minutes before the window is closing so we can gauge if there's time for another, or just end then. I could make the intervention more challenging knowing I'm less likely to get caught. Allow the timer to be positioned per app (possibly floating so we can move it) and obvious in red perhaps.
