m-a-x-c creates Monero churn timing tool

m-a-x-c1 has created Monero Churn Timer2 - a Python script that generates randomized wait times for XMR transactions and can potentially help users increase their privacy by scheduling churns:

The way it works is as follows: after receiving Monero, you would use the Monero Churn Timer to generate a random wait time. You would then set a reminder to “churn” (i.e., send that transaction to yourself at a new address) after the specified time. If necessary, you could repeat this process.3

A live demo of the tool is available on GitHub4.

Note: Use with caution. The timer only provides a simulation and should not be considered foolproof. There is currently no consensus on the best way to churn. The process may decrease user privacy.
