Bedtime Schedule

Bedtime that enforces itself, every night

Set a bedtime schedule for your kid's phone, once — a common sleep and wake time for every day. At the sleep time, everything but calls goes quiet until morning, whether or not they've hit their daily limit.

A schedule the phone can't argue with

Set a bedtime schedule for your kid's phone, once — a common sleep and wake time for every day. At the sleep time, everything but calls goes quiet until morning, whether or not they've hit their daily limit.

The details

How it actually works

One common schedule

Set it once, and it repeats every day.

  • One sleep and wake time applies to every day of the week today — per-day scheduling (a later bedtime on weekends, for example) is planned as a future enhancement.
  • The schedule handles times that wrap past midnight correctly — a 10pm–6am window works as expected.

The lock, and what it covers

Straightforward enforcement, no ambiguity about when it kicks in.

  • At the sleep time, everything but phone calls goes quiet until the wake time.
  • This is a separate mechanism from the daily screen time limit — a kid well under their daily budget still can't be on the phone during bedtime hours.

What stays available

Bedtime isn't a total lockout.

  • Calls always go through, even during a bedtime window.
  • The device wakes back up automatically at the scheduled wake time — no manual unlock needed.
  • A parent can end a bedtime window early from the Overview screen if needed.

FAQ

Bedtime Schedule — common questions

Does bedtime override the daily screen time limit?

They're separate mechanisms — a child can be well under their daily screen time limit and still be locked out during a bedtime window, and vice versa.

Can I set a different bedtime for weekends?

Not yet — today it's one common sleep and wake schedule applied every day. Per-day scheduling is a planned future enhancement.

What happens right at bedtime — does the phone just shut off?

At the scheduled sleep time, the device locks until the wake time — calls still go through, everything else goes quiet.

Can my child still receive a call during bedtime?

Yes — phone calls always go through, even during a bedtime window.
