ScreenLimits lets you lock your kids' computer, give them extra time and send them messages from your phone, simply and effectively. Protect their time.
No fuss. No endless settings.
With a single tap on your phone you lock or unlock the computer instantly. You don't need to be at home or touch the device. If it's turned off, the command is saved and applied when it starts up.
Send a custom message that appears on the locked screen: "Dinner time", "Come and set the table"… If you don't write anything, an inspiring message is shown.
Grant your child's computer more time — +15 min, +30 min or +1 hour with one tap, or any number of minutes you type in (up to 4 hours). When the time runs out, the computer locks by itself. It works whether the device was locked or not, and you can cancel it whenever you want.
A switch to allow or block Roblox on each device. If you block it, the app closes after a warning of a few seconds and can't be opened.
Tap the microphone and say it in your own words: “Lock Alejandro's PC and tell him to do his homework”, “Give the tablet half an hour”, “Block Roblox on all of them”. The assistant understands your device names and carries out the command right away. Your browser processes the voice: only the text is sent.
Set a PIN for the whole family: only those who know it can bypass the lock from the device itself.
Invite your partner by email and manage the same devices from your phones. Control Windows and macOS computers, and get an email notice every time a device is added or removed.
The parents' app is available in Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese and Italian.
Open the app on your phone, create an account and your family, and in the Devices tab, add the name of the computer you want to control (e.g. pc_daniel). There you'll find your family's linking code.
Download and install ScreenLimits on your child's computer. The first time it runs, it will ask for the device name, the linking code you got on your phone and a parental PIN.
Download for Windows Download for macOSOnce you enter the code, the computer is linked to your account. The app runs in the background and applies the limits you've set from your phone.
Lock, give extra time or allow Roblox at any moment from your phone, or just tell the voice assistant. Changes are applied instantly on your child's computer.
My kids always had an excuse: "just one more minute and I'll stop". With ScreenLimits the computer locks by itself and that's it — there's no negotiating anymore.
When you create your family you get all Premium features for 30 days, no card needed. After that, you keep going for free with 1 device or switch to Premium.
