Max openings x app/day

[ivanarrizabalaga]

Why
I often find myself reflexively tapping on "productive" apps (like Chrome, Maps, Linkedin) more than I intended. I’d like to propose a feature that adds a daily "opening budget" to specific apps to encourage more intentional usage.

Concept
Instead of showing a distracting numerical countdown (e.g., "3 left"), we can use subtle dots (pips) next to the app name.

• Indicator: Small pips appear to the right of the app name.
• Max Limit: A maximum of 5 pips is shown visually to maintain cleanliness.
• Behavior: Each time the app is opened, one pip disappears.
• Depletion: When the limit is reached, the app name is shown with a strikethrough.

Overriding
To stick to the Olauncher philosophy of "friction for focus":

• Standard Tap: If an app is struck through (limit reached), a simple tap does nothing (or shows a brief "Limit reached" toast).
• Long Press to Override: To open a depleted app, the user must long-press the name. This forced pause makes the user consciously decide if the opening is truly necessary.

Putting limits
My suggestion is to keep it simple, alongside Hide/Rename add a Opening limit option

Mockups
I prepare a super simple mock up to show the visual

If there is interest in it, I can work on a PR myself I think
