Types of Routines
Prefer to stick to one solid ruleset to keep it simple? Just focus on the Default Rules routine!
Otherwise, use these routines to schedule automatic rules throughout the day or week.
For example:
- 🟦 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 or during homework time.
- 🟨 Free time: Dedicated time to use devices just for fun.
- ⬜️ Any other time (Default rules): The default rules when other routines aren't scheduled.
