How it works
Both phones, two minutes. After that, everything happens from yours.
Install ScreenDetox on your child’s phone and enter the pairing code—or choose Child Mode on the parent’s device. Two minutes.
Set app limits and block what shouldn’t be used. Start easy, then adjust as needed.
Usage updates live on your dashboard. When a limit is hit, the app closes on their end.
Points for good weeks, achievements they can see, extra time when it's earned.
Android requires each one by hand, and the app explains why as it asks. Nothing is enabled silently.
Usage access — so ScreenDetox can read which apps were used and for how long.
Accessibility — so ScreenDetox can see which app is open and step in when a limit is reached.
Notifications — so you are told about requests and alerts.
Battery optimization — so Android keeps ScreenDetox running in the background and tracking does not stop.
Questions parents ask
Compulsive device use that starts interfering with sleep, school, health and relationships. It is not about the hours, but what those hours cost.
Yes — free on the Google Play Store. It is built by Anveshak Technology & Knowledge Solutions LLP.
Not yet. Monitoring and blocking rely on deep Android integration, so the app is Android-only for now.
No. A background service keeps monitoring and restarts itself if it is killed.
Settings are protected by a parent PIN. Limit changes and unblocking need the parent's device.
No. The goal is balance — keeping screens in proportion to sleep, play, school and family.
