Children use different applications on their devices. While many apps can be useful, some are overly time-consuming and harmful. Also, excessive use of some apps may result in a lack of sleep, concentration, and quality time with family. This is why Safes brings Smart App Rules, helping parents manage each app’s usage and build healthy digital habits.

Smart Apps Rules is a feature that assists parents to control application usage on children’s devices. It can block, limit or allow different apps to prevent generating unhealthy habits. If you’re worried about the time children spend on their mobile playing different games, Smart App Rules could be a great solution.

Block and Allow Apps

If you find a game or app utterly unsuitable for your child, you can permanently block it on their device. Alternatively, by adding certain apps to the always-allowed list, parents can ensure emergency or healthy apps (like the Phone app) are not affected by screen time limits.
