Screen time without the daily argument. Set your rules once — daily limits, bedtime, school hours, app blocking — and Tap Guardian keeps them running on your child's device, even offline. What you can do: Daily screen time limits Set a healthy amount of time for each day. Tap Guardian keeps track and steps in when the time is up. App and category blocking Pause a single app or a whole group like games, social, or video with one tap. Turn it back on just as easily. Bedtime and school schedules Set quiet hours for bedtime and focus hours for school once, and let them run on their own every week. Tasks and rewards Give your kids tasks to complete and reward them with extra time. Streaks and small wins make good habits feel earned.
