Hey!

Is there any software out there that can limit the daily usage of specific software?

For example, let's suppose that I want to make firefox work only for 2 hours a day and then it shuts down on its own. Or I want to put a similar limit on thunderbird plus I only allow it to be opened 4 times a day only.

Is there anything like this?

It's unfortunately too strong of a control...

For programs, it either blocks them or not.
For time limits, it sets a time limit on the whole computer usage and only on certain hours. I don't care to set it for certain hours to block a program, only 2 or 3 hours maximum on a daily basis, whatever the hour of the day.

Thanks for your suggestion though!
