What is ScreenTime?
ScreenTime is a feature-rich parental control app that helps parents monitor and manage their children's device usage. It is designed for families with kids that have their own smartphones, tablets, and computers.
With ScreenTime, parents can:
- Set daily time limits for individual apps, app categories, or overall device usage
- Completely block access to certain apps and websites
- Track activity details like which apps and websites are being used
- Set schedules for when devices can and can't be used, like during school hours or bedtime
- Pause the internet instantly when needed
The service works across iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, Windows PCs, and Android devices. Setting up limits and restrictions is done through a parent device rather than directly on a child's device.
ScreenTime aims to help parents achieve the right balance of allowing digital access while preserving family time, focus, and health. Its combination of activity monitoring, time management, and block settings provides a robust set of parental controls suited for the modern digital age.
