Screen time

Screen time is your shared agreement as a family: how many minutes each child has per day, how much has already been used and when there is a break. Everyone sees the same thing – the children too. Hüsli doesn't lock any devices. Apple's Screen Time and Google's Family Link can do that.

Switch it on

1. Tap your profile picture top right and open Settings › Add-ons.
2. Under More, find the Screen time add-on.
3. Turn it on with the switch.
4. Open More › Screen time.

How it works

1. Tap Agreement at the top and enter Per day (min) for each child, and At the weekend (min) if you like. Tap Save.
2. If Noah has watched TV or played, tap +15, +30 or +60 on his card – or Other for your own number. A note such as “TV with Dad” is optional.
3. Tapped the wrong thing? The day's last entry has Undo.
4. For a break, tap Break, choose Today, 2 days, 3 days, 7 days or Until a date and write a Reason. Tap Start break.
5. At the bottom of each card you see This week with one bar per day.

Settings

• Per day (min): if you don't enter anything, 60 minutes per day apply.
• At the weekend (min): applies on Saturday and Sunday; empty means “same as weekdays”.
• Children may log it themselves: children log their minutes on their own device, only for themselves.
• Extra minutes with stars: children get 15 more minutes for the number of stars you set (default 5).

Good to know

• The child also sees the reason for a break. You can end any break early with End break.
• Children see their own card on Today and on their day page; the wall tablet shows who has already had screen time or has a break. You parents only see a child on Today from 80 % or during a break.
• When a budget is used up, the parents get a notification. You turn the topic Screen time used up on or off under Settings › Notifications.
• The week's minutes also appear in the Weekly look back.
• Screen time is part of Pro (free during the beta).
