Hi FocusMe team,
I’m using multiple simultaneous Time Limit plans and wanted to ask if there’s a way to automatically show the Timer Window for the plan with the shortest remaining time (especially when timers overlap).
Context:
I have a few overlapping plans to help manage related apps, where I have a limit for the overall apps, and another one for specific apps of the same group, at the same time.
Example Basic Scenario:
- Plan 1: limits App1 & App2 combined to 3 minutes/day
- Plan 2: limits App1 to 2 minutes/day
- Plan 3: limits App2 to 2 minutes/day
When using App1, both the "App1 & App2" timer and the App1-specific timer are active and visible.
The Issue:
I’d like to only see the timer with the least remaining time, so I’m not misled by a timer that looks like I still have time left (when another plan is closer to its limit). Currently:
- The top-most Timer Window is just whichever plan activated last.
- I can manually move windows aside, but ideally, in order to save screen space, I’d prefer to see only one timer—the most urgent one.
What I’ve Tried:
- I’ve already enabled the "Selectively Show Timer Windows (e.g. when Time Limit Used or Launch in Progress)" option in settings.
- I couldn't find any other setting that lets me prioritize the shortest timer.
Question:
Is there a built-in way to have only the most restrictive or closest-to-expiring timer shown on top (or visible)?
Or would this be something better suited for a feature request?
Thanks in advance for any help!
