Feature timer
Time limits on specific features like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok, not whole apps.
Plover replaces the grid of attention-grabbing icons with a quiet, text-first home screen. Instead of blocking apps outright, it adds a small, deliberate step exactly where the addictive loops live.
Open an app with short-form video in it and Plover asks you to set a timer first. When it runs out, you are back in control. You choose which apps are free, which are timed and which only restrict their short-form feature.
What Plover does

Block distractions completely for work hours or bedtime.
