Can I see a screen time report for my child's phone?

Skie for Parents · Updated

Short answer

Not yet. Skie does not show screen time or app usage reports today, so there is no list of how many minutes your child spent in each app. It does show location, online status and compliance. The team is working on usage reports, with no date to give.

A screen time report answers a natural question. How long was my child on the phone today, and doing what? We know why parents want it, and we will not pretend that Skie has it.

What the dashboard shows is the state of the device. Where it is, when it was last seen, whether every protection is in place, and any alerts. It does not show the number of unlocks or minutes per app, and it does not keep a log of searches.

Without a report, you can still shape use. Schedule windows decide when apps are available, the app list decides which apps exist, and remote lock stops everything at once. These are blunt compared with a time limit, but they work reliably because the device enforces them.

If reports are important to you, Qustodio, Google Family Link, Norton Family and Net Nanny provide usage reporting in some form, and Apple Screen Time does the same on iPhone and iPad. Check what they show on your child's Android version before you rely on it. Skie is Android only.

A report can also start a bad conversation. Looking at numbers with a child is different from looking at the whole day with them. Talk first, measure second.
