2026-01-023 min read

Welcome to Game Session Timer! This guide will help you start tracking your gaming sessions and develop healthier gaming habits.

Step 1: Start Your First Session

Enter the name of the game you're playing in the input field, then click the Start button. The timer will begin counting your session time.

Step 2: Configure Your Settings

Set your daily gaming limit (we recommend 2 hours for most people), break reminder interval (every 30 minutes is ideal), and eye strain reminder (every 20 minutes following the 20-20-20 rule).

Step 3: Take Breaks When Reminded

When you hear the notification, take a short break. Stand up, stretch, and look away from the screen. Your body will thank you!

Step 4: Review Your Statistics

Check your daily progress bar and weekly overview to understand your gaming patterns. This awareness is the first step to healthier gaming.
