Gamer is a new tweak released tonight in Cydia that allows iDevice owners to time their time spent gaming on their iDevices. The tweak allows us to set certain periods of time in which we want to play and when that period of time has passed we will be notified by an alert that we should stop. The tweak displays the above alert that gives us the option: to close the application we have open, to extend the game time by another 5 minutes and to close the alert.
Have you ever lost an important meeting because you played with a game for too long? or you noticed that you spend a lot of time playing games each day? Then Gamer is the tweak for you, this tweak allows you to show an alert when you have spent a number of minutes (that you can set) so you don't waste more time. But if you want to ignore this, you can just cancel the countdown or "snooze" it to have more time. Gamer has many options and features, if you have iOS 5 or later you can see your remaining time on a Notification Center Widget, also you can disable the countdown for all games with just a SBSettings Toggle.
Full Features List:
- Show an Alert when you are using an app for too long
- Snooze the countdown to show the Alert again later
- Select only some apps to for the countdown (or invert selection)
- Customizable Time and Snooze Time
- SBSettings Toggle to disable/enable device
- NC Widget to see remaining time
Gamer has a settings menu in the iOS application and there we can determine the time period we allocate for games and the applications in which the tweak's timer will work. Gamer is available for $1.5 in Cydia's ModMyi repo.
