Mac
Your digital day, distilled. Real-time awareness with floating widgets in your peripheral view. No hard blocking. No guilt. Just gentle awareness.
Hard blockers kill your flow. GentleLimit protects it.
GentleLimit is a calm, non-blocking digital awareness tool for macOS. Instead of locking you out of apps or interrupting your work, GentleLimit keeps your usage visible through subtle signals and floating widgets—so you stay aware without breaking your focus.
It’s digital boundaries that work with your brain, not against it.
Floating Awareness
GentleLimit introduces floating usage widgets that live quietly on your desktop.
• Drag any monitored app or daily usage row into a floating widget
• Keep usage visible in your peripheral vision
• Continue working without switching windows to check the usage
Awareness stays present without demanding attention.
Real-Time Usage Tracking
Monitor how long you spend in your apps throughout the day.
• Track multiple app usage simultaneously
• Clean visual progress bars that show remaining time
• Smooth real-time updates that never interrupt your flow
Everything updates quietly in the menu bar.
Daily Usage Limit
Set a soft daily boundary for your digital day.
When your daily limit is reached, GentleLimit gently pauses the moment with a short (optional) overlay before letting you continue.
No blocking.
No punishment.
Just a moment to notice and take a short break.
