Screen Time for Kids
Set screen time limits without the daily arguments.
Choose how much phone time your child gets each day. FlashDroid applies the limit automatically, helps protect bedtime, and lets your child ask you for extra time when they need it.

Why it matters
Screen limits are not really about the screen.
The goal is not to remove technology from your child’s life. It is to make room for study, sleep, family time, hobbies and everything else that matters.
Study
Help create more uninterrupted time for homework, reading and exam preparation.
Sleep
Reduce late-night scrolling with automatic bedtime rules.
Family
Spend less time negotiating when the phone should be put away.
Play & real life
Help make room for friends, sport, hobbies and time away from the screen.
Daily limits
Set a daily screen-time limit.
Choose how much screen time is right for your child. When their daily allowance is used, FlashDroid applies the limit automatically.
Set the rule once instead of enforcing it manually every day.
- A short wind-down warns them before the time is up — the stop is never a surprise mid-game.
- When the time is used, non-essential apps pause until tomorrow, or until you allow more.
- Calls stay available whatever else is paused, so they can always reach you.
App limits
Limit the apps that take most of their time.
Not every minute on a phone is the same. Set separate limits for games, social apps or other distractions while keeping important apps available.
Control the distraction, not everything on the phone.
- Keep calling, family chat, maps, learning and safety apps available.
- Cap games, social media, short-video and entertainment apps.
- Block a distracting app completely when a limit is not enough.
App Limits
Never blocked. Doesn’t use up screen time.
Can’t open it.
Always allow
The school app and the call home. No rule reaches them.
Limit
An hour and a half of the game, and it stops there.
Block
It simply does not open. Nothing else changes.
Bedtime
Protect bedtime from late-night scrolling.
Set a bedtime schedule so distracting apps pause automatically at night.
Your child’s phone rules continue even when you are not standing beside them.
- The same quiet hours every night, without you having to remember them.
- Bedtime can differ by day of the week — a school night and a Saturday are not the same.
- Quiet hours pause the apps, not calls.
Start and end
Two taps set the quiet hours.
Its own days
School time runs Mon–Fri; homework, every day.
Quiet hours
Time to rest.
Your apps are sleeping. They’ll wake up in the morning.

Extra-time requests
They ask. You decide.
Need another 20 minutes for homework, a call or something important? Your child can request more time and you can approve or decline it from your phone.
The parent keeps control — the child has a clear way to ask for an exception.
- A request in the app, instead of a negotiation at the door.
- Approve or decline from wherever you are.
- Extra time tops up the day rather than switching the limit off.

Nothing to do yet
The day is spent; the asking is theirs to start.

Fifteen minutes, from the app — not at the kitchen table.
You decide
Approve or Deny, from wherever you are.
It tops up the day
The limit stands; the extra sits on top of it.

Day modes
Because every day is not the same.
A school day, weekend and holiday do not need the same rules. Build your own day modes, then switch the whole day’s settings with one tap.
- Normal· your default
- Weekend
- Holiday
- Exam Day
- Sick Day
- Screen-Free Day
You name your own modes. The ones above are just examples — create as many as you like, each with its own daily limit, bedtime and app rules, and set one as your everyday default.
Essential apps
Keep important apps available.
Screen-time limits should not stop a child from making an important call or using an app you consider essential. Choose the apps that stay available even when a daily limit or block is active.
- Calls are always allowed — that is never something you have to set.
- Mark family chat, maps or a school app to stay on through any limit.
- Peace of mind that your child can always reach you.
Always on, automatically
- Phone
- Contacts
- Keyboard
A used-up day still makes calls and still has a keyboard.
Always allow — your choice
Never blocked. Doesn’t use up screen time.
