Time Controls

Time control programs specifically monitor and limit the amount of time that can be spent online.

These programs allow the user to:

  • Block access to the Internet during specific times of the day
  • Schedule the number of hours that each child can use the computer
  • Create different settings for each member of the family
  • Share computer time amongst siblings
