Hi - I have two adolescents and in an effort to monitor their cell phone usage, I got an app that give me the ability to grant or block access to their apps. It works well but I'd like something that gives them the responsibility to budget their time so that, when their time is up, it's up. They see the timer and have to figure out when they'll use the phone or not. What's happening is that I'm the one keeping track and, with two kids, it's getting confusing. I also am limiting their XBox or TV time so that adds to the confusion. I like having an app since it is not as much of a source of friction.
Most of the apps I see have certain times that can be set up ahead of time like a schedule or the timer is set from my phone, enabling me to grant or block access. I would love to have something on their phones that gives them 2 hours but shuts off when it's done, whether they use it all at once or for 15 minutes at a time. Does that even exist?
