Get started See how it works

Your rules. Their time. One clear picture.

THE PARENT VIEW 01 / KNOW WHERE THE TIME GOES

Actual parent dashboard: Alex has used 1 hour 15 minutes of a 2-hour daily maximum, with time broken down by hour and category. — ↳ Time used, daily maximum and activity breakdown — together.

Today's bonus summary: 15 minutes granted, 15 minutes remaining. — 15 extra minutes. Granted by a parent.

Windows reminder details: 5 minutes left of a 2-hour daily limit. — A clear heads-up before time runs out.

THE EVERYDAY ADMIN, HANDLED

Makes managing screen time easy

Set a daily maximum from the parent dashboard. Check today’s use without adding up every session.

Choose the child and device, then adjust the allowance in Limits → Daily Maximum. Category limits and scheduled periods let you be more specific about what’s available and when.

Plans changed? Move the daily limit from two hours to two and a half. The saved maximum updates in the dashboard; linked devices pick up changes as they sync.

A regular allowance change keeps the rest of your settings. For a one-off extra, use Bonus Time.

PARENT CONTROL → VISIBLE RESULTEXAMPLE

Daily Maximum controls with a 2-hour daily limit. — **Start with the usual two hours.** The existing daily allowance is visible in Limits.

Daily Maximum controls adjusted to a 2.5-hour daily limit. — **Adjust the daily maximum to 2.5h.** Use the same control; no new routine to build.

Dashboard gauges after changing the maximum to 2 hours 30 minutes. — **The maximum now reads 2h 30m.** Today’s recorded use stays separate from the allowance.

01.1 / VISIBILITYTime recorded by Screen Goal, shown by hour and category.

01.2 / SCOPEDaily limits for a device or across a child’s devices.

01.3 / FLEXIBILITYRegular limits and today-only bonus grants are separate.

AN AGREEMENT THEY CAN ACT ON

Connect chores and activities to conditional time

Homework first. Then 15 extra minutes.
A clear agreement, with the parent in charge of the grant.

AGREE → CONFIRM → GRANTEXAMPLE

Illustrative family moment: a parent sits beside a child finishing homework. — **Agree it together, then check it yourself.** Screen Goal does not detect or record chore completion.

Actual Bonus Time form with 15 minutes selected, Any activity and Respect scheduled periods checked. — **A parent taps “Grant 15m bonus time”.** Limits → Bonus Time is the approval action in the app.

Actual bonus summary after a parent grants 15 minutes, showing 15 minutes remaining. — **The extra time is now in today’s bonus.** Devices receive the grant as they sync; normal time is used first.

HOW THE CONDITION WORKS TODAY

You confirm the activity.
Screen Goal handles the time.

Make 15 extra minutes available after the agreed homework is finished. You agree and check the activity outside Screen Goal, then grant the bonus in the parent interface.

Choose any activity, a category or an app. Bonus time adds to the normal allowance and expires at midnight in the child’s profile timezone.

Keep the schedule in place.

“Respect scheduled periods” is checked by default. Leave it on to keep bonus time within your period rules. General content blocks still apply, and a bonus does not remove a manual lock.

The current workflow is a manual parent grant. An in-app chore list, completion submission and automatic unlocking are not available in the reviewed product.

SMALL ACTIONS THEY CAN PRACTISE

Teach kids better habits

Something to do. Time to choose.
A signal to start wrapping up.

01 / FOLLOW THROUGH

Complete the agreement.

Homework before a bonus gives your child a specific next step. You check it together; your grant confirms the extra time.

Homework’s done.
Can we add my
15 minutes?

Example family conversation

02 / CHECK THE TIME

Read what’s left.

The Windows reminder shows time allowed, time used and time remaining. Five minutes left is a cue to find a stopping point.

Child-facing Windows reminder showing a 2-hour allowance, 1 hour 55 minutes used and 5 minutes left. — Actual details from the Windows reminder.

03 / ASK, THEN WAIT

Make a request.

From the Windows pause screen, your child can request more time. A request goes to the parent for review; sending it does not unlock the device.

Actual Windows Request more time dialog, with Hours, Minutes, Send request and Cancel controls. — A request starts a conversation.
The parent decides.

Screen Goal provides cues and choices to practise. Lasting habits still take repetition and family support.

A HEADS-UP. THEN A CLEAR BOUNDARY.

Manage allowed time without harsh transitions

“Only 5 minutes left” gives them a chance to save, pause or find a stopping point before their allowance ends.

The warning interval is configurable. This Windows example uses a five-minute warning, followed by the enabled delay and blocking settings. Time is compressed for the demonstration.

THE CHILD’S WINDOWS EXPERIENCECOMPRESSED EXAMPLE

Real Windows reminder: Only 5 minutes left of daily limit, with a Continue button. — **Before the limit: five minutes left.** The reminder shows what remains and asks them to finish up.

Real Windows alert after the daily limit is reached, with a delay before Continue becomes available. — **The allowance is used up.** With delays enabled, the alert requires a wait before Continue is available. The time limit still applies.

Real Windows pause screen after configured warnings, with parent PIN unlock and Request more time controls. — **After the configured warnings: screen time pauses.** With blocking enabled, the boundary is enforced. A parent PIN can allow a short two-minute unlock; limits then resume.

You choose the warning and blocking settings. Advance warnings help a child prepare. They don’t guarantee time to finish a match or save work, and the response depends on your configuration.
