Limit is a Chrome Extension which limits your access to your most favourite but distracting sites. The best part is that you can set your own limits for any of the sites you visit.

For example, if you find yourself on Facebook or Twitter more often than what is desired, you can set time limits for yourself. Once you set the time limit, as you approach your daily limit, the extension will notify you that your time is almost up and when you reach the time limit, it will not allow you to access that site for the rest of the day. This gives you the self-discipline of restricting your time on Social Media and spending more time at work!

You can define daily time-limits for any site you desire. Starting with pre-defined sites like Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, you can add more sites as per your requirements and Limit will do the work for you efficiently. Your time limit is configurable from 5 to 500 minutes per day.

So, get a bit of discipline in your working day – start using Limit today!

Android allows users to install a variety of Launchers and File Managers. One of the better ones is Solid Explorer which is a Solid File Manager, which has many more options than the Android Stock File Manager.

It has a wonderful, user-friendly design which is intuitive and a pleasure to use. You can secure folders with AES encryption which makes it very safe to use. Besides, it has a Trash Bin from where you could recover your accidentally deleted files immediately.

You could use it for copying, moving, sorting, encrypting and archiving all the files on your phone. Sorting based on File Type, Size, Modification Date and File Names is all built-in.

Android allows us to set the default screen time-out upto 10 minutes. This means that whenever your phone is idle, the screen will automatically time-out between 15 seconds to 10 minutes of inactivity. There are many situations when we may not want the screen to time-out automatically in 10 minutes, e.g. if you are making a speech (and using the phone for cues) or a presentation. Native android does not give you any option for that.

This is where Screen Alive comes in handy. It allows you to keep the screen alive for extended periods of time, without any automatic time-outs. It is a very simple, free app. Just download it and set the time for which you want the screen to be alive and you are done!

Beware though, that if you keep the screen alive for long periods of time, it could drain your battery very quickly, especially if you have a large, hi-def screen. So do use it with caution and only when needed.
