App Opener and Timer
Open a checklist of apps on a timer and see how long each one stays open.
App Opener and Timer opens the apps you choose, one at a time on a timer, and tracks how long each one stays open. Build a checklist once, save it, and launch the whole set with a single tap.
Great for routines where you open the same group of apps in sequence — morning check-ins, testing, kiosk-style walkthroughs, streaming rotations, or any time you’d rather not tap through the same apps by hand.
HOW IT WORKS • Pick the apps you want from a checklist of everything installed. • Save your selection as a named list — keep as many lists as you like. • Tap Go, and the app opens your first pick, then the next one an interval later, and so on until the whole list has launched. • Each app gets its own timer so you can see exactly how long it was open.
FEATURES • Named app lists — create, open, edit, save, and delete as many as you want. • Your lists are remembered between sessions. • Set the seconds between launches per list (for example 30s for one list, two minutes for another). • Live timers: running apps show a green, climbing timer; once you close an app its timer freezes and turns black so you can read the final time. • A clear Running / Stopped indicator for the whole run. • Start a one‑off selection without saving it, or run a saved list directly.
PRIVACY FIRST • No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No third‑party tracking. • Everything stays on your device — your lists never leave your phone.
PERMISSIONS • “Display over other apps” lets the app launch the next app while it’s running in the background. • “Usage access” (optional) lets a timer stop the moment you close an app; without it, timers simply keep counting from launch. • A foreground service and notification keep the launch schedule running.
Note: Android decides which app is on screen, not which apps are alive in the background, so a timer stops when you leave an app and don’t return — perfect for the open‑it, use‑it, close‑it flow.
