Screen Time

Set the day’s time together. When it is used up the phone winds down on its own, and bedtime happens on the schedule you set — no argument at the door.

What Screen Time does

  • A daily limit

    When the day’s time is up, the phone winds down on its own.

  • Bedtime

    The phone winds down every night on the schedule you set.

  • They ask, you decide

    Your child can request more time; you answer from your phone.

Questions

Screen Time — the questions parents ask

Does my child know Guardian is there?+

Yes. Guardian is visible on their phone under its own name and consent is recorded at pairing — it isn’t a hidden or secret tool.

What happens when the daily limit runs out?+

The phone winds down on its own. Your child can send a request for more time, and you decide from your phone.
