[OLD, delete me] What are overtime reminders?

When kids opt to go past their time limit (i.e. into overtime), they are periodically reminded that they are past their limit. Each time they decide to keep going, you will receive a notification. You can control how frequently kids see these reminders when they're in overtime, and therefore also how often you receive notifications.

How do I change the frequency of overtime reminders?

1. In the Screenable app, go to your kid's settings.
2. Tap Overtime reminders and select a duration (the default is 30 minutes).

What frequency should I select for overtime reminders?

Here's a suggested way to think of it:

• Every 15 minutes - Choose this if you want to stay closely aware of your kid's screen time usage, like if they're just getting started with screen time and you want to zoom in to help them make good decisions, or if they've struggled to stay within their limits and you want to keep a closer eye on things. Otherwise this can get a little annoying for parents.
• Every 30 minutes - This is a good average, appropriate for many kids. It's also what we recommend for shared family devices.
• Every 60 minutes - If you want to zoom out a little more, this will let you get notified each hour they use their device over their limits. It's good for older kids or when you trust kids aren't struggling with screen time usage.
• Longer times - If you want even longer durations, please let us know – we'd love to understand your needs! You might also consider increasing daily screen time limits, or making a one-off change to daily limits for a single day.
