💡Game Limiter Just Got a Whole New Brain
Here's what's new:
👨👩👧 A clearer view for parents
Now you can see your whole family at a glance, no digging, no guessing. A new overview shows how each child's day is going, so you know what's happening without having to ask. Requests for more time sit right there too, just one click to approve. A weekly chart shows how time's been spent across the week, and you can zoom in on one child whenever something catches your eye.
👀 See what's happening right now
Ever wonder what your child's up to on their PC right now? The new Right now card shows exactly that, playing a game, using an app, idle, or offline, updating within seconds. You'll also see if a child is playing during a scheduled break.
And your child's privacy always comes first. Only app and game names are ever shared. Nothing else, no window titles, no documents, no web pages, ever leaves your child's PC.
🎮 Today's Most-Used Apps
See the apps and games your child used most today, and how long they spent on each. Games even show their cover art, with a link straight to the store page.
🧒 A clearer view for kids
Kids get a fresh, friendly overview too. They can see how much time they have left today, and get a quick sense of how their day looks. A new "My week" chart shows their playtime across the week, and one simple card brings together their quests and any pending requests, so everything they need is right there.
🏆 Quests, leveled up
Chores just became quests, and getting things done feels a lot more fun. Kids earn points for every quest, helping them level up, build streaks, and unlock badges. A new rewards screen shows their progress at a glance, and once a parent approves, the earned time lands straight in their Time Bank. Watching a child light up over a new badge makes it worth it.
For parents, approving is simple, one click per quest, or approve them all at once, with the option to undo if needed. Creating a new quest is just as easy: pick the task, the reward, and how often it repeats.

⏰ Turning off Allowed Hours or Daily Budget now really turns them off, with changes reaching your child's device within a minute
🌍 Parent screens reflect your family's own time zone for "today"
