What's New in Screen Time Nanny
1.1.6
October 12, 2026
New: Coach bedtime. If your child's team uses the CedarStars app, the coach can now start bedtime for the night on the team's phones. Turn it on in Parents > Settings > Coach bedtime and enter the team code from the coach. You can also choose the days of the week a coach may start it. Until the coach's end time, apps are blocked, except the ones you always allow. A coach can only start bedtime, for one night at most, and you can end it on the phone at any time. Needs Premium or the free trial. New: Bedtime has its own app list. In Parents > Settings > Bedtime, tap Choose apps to block to block more apps during bedtime, whatever their credit rate. When apps are paused for bedtime, school hours or by a parent, the block screen and the Play Zone now say so, instead of Out of Credits. Fixed: the Quiet Garden timer now follows its own setting, which is off by default.
