GameLimiter gets a major upgrade — new features, smarter controls, and a family plan


What's new


Time Bank

Kids can now save up unused screen time and spend it when they want — giving them a sense of ownership over their own schedule while parents stay in charge of the overall budget.


Chore Rewards

Set up chores and attach screen time rewards to them. When a chore is marked complete, the reward is credited automatically — no need for manual top-ups.


Request more time

When a session ends, kids can now send a time request directly to a parent for approval — no more interruptions or workarounds.


Improved game recognition

GameLimiter is now better than ever at detecting which games are running, reducing false positives and missed detections across popular titles.


Family Plan

Manage multiple kids and devices under one subscription. Each child gets their own profile, rules, and time bank — all managed from a single parent dashboard.


Under the hood

Beyond the new features, a significant amount of work went into stabilising the app. We've squashed a long list of bugs, improved performance across devices, and made the overall experience smoother and more reliable. If you've run into issues in the past, now is a great time to give GameLimiter another try.
