Limit the amount of time you spend on a website with X.minutes.at
Posted by Mysti under Latest free tools
Want to quickly and easy set a time limit for how long you spend on a particular site? x.minutes.at is a website that allows you to set a time limit on a browser tab.
All you need to do is enter the number of minutes you want to spend, followed by .minutes.at/, and the site you want to visit e.g. 5.minutes.at/blog.lancom.co.nz
As you can see above the time counts down in the browser tab, when it gets to zero you will receive a ‘Times Up!’ alert.
Note: Unfortunately I had some problems with this tool when using Internet Explorer, but it did work perfectly in Firefox. If you are using Internet Explorer click here to learn about MinutesPlease, another time limit site which works better with this browser.
