How it works: App Scheduling
Set the rhythm of their day.
App Scheduling lets you create custom schedules which decide when apps are available so bedtime means bedtime, and homework time means homework time.

Better sleep
Children who use a screen-based device at bedtime are more than twice as likely to get an inadequate amount of sleep.
Carter et al., JAMA Pediatrics, 2016
Better focus
A meta-analysis of 101,441 young people found a small but significant negative link between social media use and academic performance.
Marker et al., Computers in Human Behavior, 2017
Better bedtimes
Bedtime access to and use of screen media is consistently associated with poorer sleep quality and duration.
Carter et al., JAMA Pediatrics, 2016
What you can do with schedules:
Set schedules that automatically adjust for weekdays, weekends, school holidays, and more.
Need to adjust on the fly? Change the schedule remotely from the SafetyMode Plus Portal without touching the phone.
Set certain apps to the “Always” schedule so calls, messages, favourite contacts and key apps stay available regardless of schedule; so your child can always reach you.
No daily reminders or manual switching. The schedule runs in the background, apps open and close at the times you decide.
When an app is out-of-schedule, it's not even on the menu and all its notifications are blocked. Out of sight, out of mind.
A day in the life with App Scheduling
Every phase of the day has its own rhythm; morning, school, wind-down, sleep. Set up your app schedules to map their rhythm automatically, without you needing to be the enforcer.
Morning
Wake-up
News, weather, alarm. No YouTube, no TikTok. They start the day present and in the room with you.
Daytime
Focus
Educational apps stay open. Social apps, camera, photos are out of sight.
Evening
Together time
Family time. Apps wind down before dinner. The phone becomes a camera, a music player, a discovery tool; nothing distracting.
Night
Bedtime
Every app but the alarm shuts down at the time you set. No doomscrolling. Just sleep.
