# Call Limiter
Call Limiter is an Android application designed to help users set a time limit for phone calls to specific contacts. This app ensures calls do not exceed the defined duration, making it easier to manage call times effectively.
## 🌟Features
- 🔢 **Set time limits** for specific phone numbers
- 📴 **Auto-disconnect calls** when the limit is reached
- 🎡 **Bottom sheet wheel selector** for choosing time duration
- 🌐 **Global Call Limit** apply default time limit to all contacts automatically
- 📂 **Persistent storage** – limits remain saved until deleted
- 🗑️ **Delete or edit limits** for specific numbers anytime
- 🎨 **Dark & Light themes** with system theme support
- ⚡ **Emergency Buffer Time** (extra seconds for critical calls)
- 🔒 **Privacy-first** – works fully offline, no data is ever shared
## ⚒ How It Works
1. **Enter a Phone Number**: Manually enter a number or select a contact, with the option to add or edit the contact name.
2. **Set a Time Limit**: Choose a duration using the bottom sheet timer.
3. **Save the Limit**: The app stores the number and its corresponding time limit.
4. **Monitor Calls**: Calls to the saved number will be restricted based on the set time.
5. **Delete a Limit**: Users can remove the time restriction for a number anytime.
This app is ideal for managing call durations effectively, whether for personal use or controlling excessive call times.
