tvusage Parental Control App

Pause screen, Play life 🪴 Create healthier screen routines—without turning every bedtime, homework session, or TV break into an argument. tvusage is a parental control and screen time app for supervised Google/Android TV, Android phone, and Android tablet devices. Set clear routines, limit distracting apps, and make space for sleep, study, play, and family time. With tvusage, you can: Build routines that fit your day 🕰 Set daily screen-time limits for individual apps or the whole device. 📅 Choose the hours when apps or the device can be used. 📚 Group apps and apply shared rules for homework, focus, entertainment, or bedtime. 🍿 Add watch breaks to interrupt long TV and video sessions. Keep the right apps available 🚫 Block selected apps completely when they do not belong in the routine. ♾️ Give essential or educational apps unlimited time. 🔐 Protect app and device rules with a four-digit PIN. 🌩️ Create multiple profiles and sync them across supported devices. Understand screen habits 💡 See daily and weekly usage for each app so you can make informed changes instead of guessing. How tvusage works Install tvusage on the supervised child device, then configure rules for that device or profile. tvusage monitors app usage and applies the screen-time limits, allowed hours, groups, and blocks you choose. A persistent notification remains visible on the device while monitoring is active, so the device user can see that tvusage is running. Bring profiles, schedules, app groups, limits, and watch breaks together to create consistent rules across your family's supported Android TV, phone, and tablet devices. For your own screen time Adults can also install tvusage on their own Android device to understand app habits, set personal limits, block distractions, and create routines for focus, rest, or bedtime. Optional Accessibility service tvusage can use an optional Accessibility service for two parental-control features authorized by a parent or legal guardian on a supervised child device: uninstall protection and, on supported Android TV devices, Override launcher. When uninstall protection is enabled, tvusage reads visible text on the device from Android system app-management and uninstall screens used to manage or remove tvusage. This allows it to identify and stop attempts to remove tvusage on supported devices. On supported Android TV devices, when Override launcher is enabled, tvusage detects the configured TV launcher package or window and reopens tvusage when that launcher appears. tvusage does not capture typed text. Accessibility-derived data is not used for advertising, profiling, or unrelated third-party sharing. The app works without Accessibility, but uninstall protection and Override launcher are unavailable. Monitoring disclosure tvusage is intended for parents and legal guardians managing their minor children's screen time on supervised child devices, and for adults managing screen time on their own devices. Do not use tvusage to monitor another adult's device without that person's clear knowledge and consent. Create screen rules that fit your family—and help screen time stop on time.
