Parental control for the family PC

Computer time under control — without the battles

Kids spend too many hours at the computer. child-time limits screen time by your rules and shows you what your child actually does — while extra minutes can only be earned with useful, real-world tasks.

Free during beta · Windows 10/11

Sound familiar?

“Five more minutes…” — and the whole evening is gone

Hours of games and YouTube

Homework keeps waiting — tearing away from the screen on their own is the hard part.

No idea what they're doing

The PC is in another room: is that study time — or hour three of a game?

Every “turn it off” ends in a fight

Taking the computer away means tears. Not taking it away means worry and guilt.

child-time brings order — gently

  • A daily limit: when time is up, the screen locks
  • You see which apps were used and for how many minutes
  • Extra minutes are earned with useful tasks — sport, chores, reading
  • Everything is in the open: the child sees the timer and the rules
In three steps

How it works

1

Create your account

Sign up in the parent dashboard from any browser — phone or computer.

2

Install the agent on the child's PC

A small app shows the child a fair timer and counts computer time. Installs in a minute.

3

Set limits, tasks and schedule

Choose the daily limit — activity shows up in your reports. Extra time is earned through tasks you approve.

Both sides of the screen

Easy for parents. Fair for kids

For parents

  • Daily limit and quiet hours — managed from your phone, anywhere
  • Reports: which apps your child opened and for how long
  • “More time” requests come to you — you decide
  • Send a message straight onto the child's screen

For kids

  • A fair timer always in sight — no sudden shutdowns
  • Their clubs and classes schedule with reminders right on the PC
  • A clear way to get more time: do a task — get the minutes
  • Chat with parents on the computer — and on their own phone
Everything in one place

What's inside

Limits & lock screen

A daily time budget and quiet hours. When time is up, the screen locks.

Activity reports

Which apps and sites, how many minutes — by category, day and week.

Tasks & rewards

A ready catalog of chores, sport, study and a word game — each earns minutes.

Class schedule

Clubs and lessons with gentle reminders on the child's screen — nothing gets missed.

Family chat

Your message pops up right on the child's screen. Time requests come to you.

Phone & PC

The parent dashboard lives on your phone. The child gets their own light app too.

Control without spying

Not a spy. Built on trust.

child-time isn't secret surveillance. The child sees the same timer, the same tasks, the same messages you do. It's a shared tool for a calmer deal about screens — not a way to watch someone behind their back.

The child sees everything

Timer, tasks and chat are right there on the child's screen.

You agree together

Limits and rewards are set openly — not sprung as a punishment.

Data stays protected

Private storage, encrypted connections, and no ads or reselling — ever.

Questions

Frequently asked
