Is there an app that reminds you time is passing? Kind of parental control / reality check?

I'm looking for an app that'll ping me after I've been on my phone for x minutes, preferably with a pop up that says 'is this really how you want to be spending your time?'

Something like the reality checks that online gambling sites have 'you've been playing for 20 minutes, do you want to continue?'.

I dont want a proper parental control thingy because I may well want to continue, but I just don't notice time passing sometimes.

I use onesec. It delays me for a second when I click on certain apps, and I’ve subscribed so it also sends me notifications after a set period of time.

That app sounds good, will look.

I did think my phone might do it but can't get it to do what I want. Maybe a different time app would.
