🛡️ Key Features

⏱️ Set Daily & Scheduled Screen Time Limits

Create healthy routines by setting daily screen time limits. You can also schedule usage-free hours (like during homework time or bedtime) when most apps are automatically blocked to promote better focus and rest.

🧠 Customize App Time Limits

Control exactly how long your child can use each app. Limit entertainment apps to 30 minutes per day, while allowing more access to educational tools—encouraging smarter screen use.

🚫 Block or Allow Specific Apps

Add apps to a Block List to restrict access to distracting or inappropriate content, or use an Allow List to keep essential apps (like learning and communication tools) always available.

🏆 Reward Mode: Learn First, Play Later

Motivate learning with Reward Mode: once your child spends time on approved educational apps, their favorite entertainment apps unlock for a short, fun break. It's a smart way to build good habits.

📊 Detailed App Usage Reports

Track how much time your child spends on each app with easy-to-read reports. Quickly identify time-wasting apps and make better decisions about screen time rules.

🔒 PIN Code Protection

Keep settings secure with a custom PIN so your child can't change rules or bypass controls.

💬 Custom Messages & Icons

Personalize the “App Blocked” screen with your own message and friendly icons to explain why an app is restricted.

🧘 Break Time Reminders

Protect your child’s eyes by setting breaks—like taking 5 minutes off after every 30 minutes of screen use.

🎯 Focus Mode

Enable Focus Mode to allow access only to selected apps during specific tasks like studying or reading, minimizing distractions completely.

📥 Request Additional Time

When an app is blocked, your child can request extra time. You can approve or deny these requests based on your judgment, giving you more flexible and responsive control without compromising the rules.

PuppyGuard is more than just a screen time limiter—it’s a complete digital parenting tool that helps build healthy tech habits while giving kids the freedom to learn, explore, and grow safely.
