Types of Routines
Routines let you schedule different rules throughout the day or week. If you'd rather keep things simple, just use the Default Rules routine as your one set of rules.
Here are the built-in routine types:
🟪 Bedtime: Limit device usage when it’s time for lights out. Customize what kids can access during Bedtime.
🟩 School time: Limit what can be accessed during the school day. Customize the apps/sites they need for school or homework.
🟨 Free time: Dedicated time to use devices just for fun.
🟦 Any other time (Default rules): The default rules when other routines aren't scheduled.
