About this app

ScreenTimer helps parents set healthy screen-time boundaries on a child's
Android phone — without needing the child's cooperation to enforce them.

**Three ways to manage time, pick what fits your family:**

🕐 **Free Daily Limit** — Set one simple daily time budget (e.g. 60 minutes).
Once it runs out, the screen locks until a parent enters the password to reset it.

📊 **Pro: Weekly Cumulative** — Set a different time budget for each day of
the week, with an optional nightly "bedtime lockout" window.

📅 **Pro: Weekly Timetable** — Draw out exactly which 30-minute blocks of
the week are "allowed" on a visual weekly grid — perfect for matching
school nights vs. weekends.

**Built to actually work, not just look good:**
- A lock screen that can't be dismissed by pressing Home, switching apps,
or force-stopping — the lock stays up until the parent password is
entered.
- A password-protected settings screen so the child can't just turn the
limit off.
- Anti-uninstall protection: once enabled, your child can't simply
uninstall the app from Settings to escape the time limit.
- A background timer that keeps counting accurately even when the phone's
battery saver tries to kill background apps.
- A persistent notification showing exactly how much time is left today
and this week.
- Dark mode and large-text support for comfortable reading in any
situation.

**Free 14-day trial, no credit card required:**
Try every Pro feature free for 14 days right after install — no card needed
to start. Afterwards, choose monthly, annual, or a one-time lifetime
purchase. All payments are processed securely through Google Play; we
never see your payment details.

**Privacy first:**
ScreenTimer never collects any data about your child's activity, screen-time
usage, or app content — there are no ads, and everything stays on your
device. We only use anonymous, device-level analytics to see whether the
app was opened and whether setup was completed, which you can turn off
anytime in settings. See our full privacy policy for details.

Whether you're managing homework time, bedtime, or just want a break from
"five more minutes," ScreenTimer gives you a simple, reliable way to make
screen time limits actually stick.

What’s new

• Fixed: In Pro Timetable mode, the lock now clears automatically when an allowed time slot begins; a parent password is no longer required
• Setting, resetting or changing the parent password now asks you to enter it twice, so a typo can't lock you out
• The help (?) dialog now shows the current app version
