Setting daily limits, time windows and bedtime

Choose how long and when YubiKids can be used, with templates for school days and weekends.

Open Screen Time for a child (on your phone, or in parent mode on the child’s device).

  • Daily limit: the total minutes per day for learning and play together.
  • Allowed windows: the hours YubiKids can be used, for example weekdays 3:00–5:30 pm.
  • Bedtime: a hard lock, for example 7:30 pm to 7:00 am.
  • Warning: a friendly heads-up a few minutes before time runs out.

Before you save, YubiKids shows the rule in a sentence, such as “Ana can use YubiKids 60 min on school days between 3 pm and 5:30 pm.”

Templates

Switch with one tap between School day, Weekend, Holiday and Sick day (learning unlimited, play off).

Several devices

If one child uses two tablets, the limit is shared. Time on one device counts on the other once they sync.

What counts as time

Only time with YubiKids open and the screen on. Time in the background never counts.
