SkieCan I set a time limit for one app, like one hour of games a day?
Not yet. Skie does not have per-app time limits or a daily screen time cap today. You can use schedule windows to allow an app only at certain hours, hide it entirely, or lock the device. The team is working on limits, with no date to give.
This is one of the most common requests we get, and it is fair. Many parents want to say an hour of games and then stop. Skie cannot count minutes per app today.
What it can do is control when an app is available. A schedule window gives an app a set of days and hours. Games can be allowed from five to six in the evening and hidden the rest of the time. That produces a similar result, though the child does not get to choose when to use the hour.
You can also change the window by hand as a reward. If your child has earned thirty extra minutes, widen the window for the evening. It is not automatic, and it needs you to be there. Remote lock is there for the opposite case.
Other tools offer this. Google Family Link, Qustodio, Norton Family and Apple Screen Time all include limits and reports in some form. They work at the app or account level. Skie works at device owner level, which gives stronger enforcement but fewer reporting features. Some families use a time-limit tool alongside Skie, though we have not tested Family Link alongside it.
We will list time limits here when they are released.
