Hi there, I am looking for a way to limit the time the system allows me to spend in program x.
Basically, I want it to go: Oh, you’ve been playing that for 2 hours. Now, time to touch some grass.

I couldn’t find any existing programs for that, only screen time clients, which is not what I am after. Any ideas?

OS: Linux Mint

    Well if the objective is to “touch grass”, wouldn’t screen time ones be fine? If the objective were something along the lines of “OK played enough solitaire, time to work on that essay” then I’d see the need for individual program locking.

      if you have been doing work stuff, that screen time usage is usuaaly not that bad, it is likely limiting browser or social media usage.
