NeonTimer is an aggressively optimized, background-enforced focus automation tool designed to break Doomscrolling loops. It actively monitors your foreground applications and automatically deploys an unbreakable countdown timer overlay over selected trigger apps (like Instagram, TikTok, Twitter).
Unlike standard digital wellbeing apps, NeonTimer is designed to be highly resistant to being bypassed, automatically resuming paused timers across app minimizes and background transitions, while keeping a vibrant, glassmorphic UI.
