A focused anti-drift system for one narrow behavior: bathroom breaks that quietly turn into phone-scrolling sessions.
PoopTimer is a bathroom habit tool for behavior change, not a medical product.
Why this is different
Phone timer
Rings once, then disappears from your behavior loop
Generic habit app
Too broad for one small but repeated drift problem
PoopTimer
A focused loop: interrupt, review, test one change, repeat
Not a joke app. Not a gut-health diary. Not a giant productivity dashboard.
A visible timer and 5-minute cue interrupt drift before 2 minutes quietly becomes 12.
Records become useful when they reveal repeat risk windows, phone drift, and routine-specific triggers.
The flow is intentionally small so the habit stays usable instead of turning into homework.
Most long sessions happen because attention drifts. Usually the phone is the real issue.
Without a visible timer, a quick break can stretch far past what you intended.
If you never review sessions, you never learn when or why drift keeps happening.
Generic timers ring once. Generic habit apps ask you to build too much around one small problem.
It is designed around one repeatable loop: start, interrupt, review, test one change, repeat.
Open the timer fast and anchor the session before your attention slides away.
The 5-minute cue gives you a clean moment to wrap up instead of drifting deeper.
Records should help you decide what to test next time, not just store numbers.
A narrow loop built for repeat use.
Use the timer before scrolling or settling into autopilot.
When the session runs long, you get a clear moment to stop the drift.
Keep the record, notice the pattern, and make one practical change for the next session.
Free is enough to get started. Pro is for users who want repeated review, better context, and stronger experiments.
You can run the timer, get the reminder, save records, and learn whether this system fits your routine.
Use a broader review window and better continuity to spot repeat risk windows, test changes, and verify improvement.
Lightweight threads help you borrow experiments, compare patterns, and stay motivated without heavy social pressure.
Quick answers before you start.
Start with the free timer, then review what actually changes your behavior over time.
