Setting Screen Time Limits
Setting Screen Time Limits
Screen time limits help children develop healthy digital habits by capping daily device usage.
Setting a Daily Limit
- Open the child's profile from your dashboard
- Go to Controls > Screen Time
- Toggle Enable Screen Time Limit
- Set the daily maximum (e.g., 2 hours)
- Optionally configure different limits per day of the week
When the limit is reached, the Companion app displays a notification and can lock the device.
Scheduled Downtime
Use Downtime to block device usage during specific hours, such as bedtime or school hours.
- Go to Controls > Screen Time > Downtime
- Set start and end times
- Choose which days to apply the schedule
Overriding Limits
Parents can grant temporary extensions from the dashboard. Go to the child's profile and click Grant Extra Time.
