SkieHow do I set study time on my child's phone or tablet?
Add a schedule window in the Skie dashboard with the days, the start and end time, and the apps allowed during study. For example, six to eight in the evening with only books, a calculator and a dictionary. The device switches on its own when the time arrives.
Study time works best as a routine rather than a daily argument. A schedule makes the device do the enforcing, which takes you out of the role of the police.
In Skie, a schedule is a window. You choose which days it applies to, when it starts and ends, and which apps are allowed inside it. At six the home screen quietly changes to the study set, and at eight it changes back. Your child does not have to do anything.
You can build several windows for the same child. A school-day study block, a weekend one, a night one. The first matching window wins, so put the most specific ones first. Windows can run overnight, which is handy for bedtime.
Phones and tablets are treated the same way. A younger child with a tablet and an older child with a phone can each have their own windows, since each has their own device and settings.
What it does not do is count minutes. Per-app time limits and daily screen time caps are not available yet, and the team is working on them. A window shuts the door at a fixed time instead. Calls remain possible, and emergency calls are never blocked. Add a reward by extending the window for an evening.
