Rules

What you set, per person

⏱️

Daily time limit

A maximum number of minutes per day, or no limit at all.

🌙

Curfews

A start and end time that the device stays locked outside of.

📅

Day-of-week scheduling

Different rules for weekdays versus weekends.

🎮

Blocked apps

Block specific games or programs by name.

🌐

Blocked websites

Block specific domains, like video or social sites.

🧩

Multiple rules stack

The strictest rule always wins — shortest time limit, narrowest curfew, every blocklist combined.

Enforcement

How it works on the managed device

  1. 1

    Pair the device with an 8-character code from your dashboard. The code expires after 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    The agent checks policy every second, so limits and curfews apply almost immediately.

  3. 3

    A grace period gives a warning before lockout — the screen locks when time's up, and re-locks if it's dismissed.

  4. 4

    Blocked sites are enforced at the network level and re-checked every 5 minutes, so they stay blocked even if something tries to tamper with it.

Right now

What's true today

Windows 10/11 only. macOS support is in progress and not yet available.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will show a warning during setup — full instructions are on the download page.

On shared computers, the enforcement helper currently starts only for the Windows account that ran the install — other accounts on the same PC need their own install.

Privacy & trust

Built to be hard to cheat, and easy to trust

🔒

No plaintext pairing codes

Pairing codes and device tokens are stored hashed, never in plain text — and cleared the moment a device is revoked.

🕰️

No clock tricks

Usage is measured against real elapsed time and each day's allowance is calculated on the server using your account's timezone — winding the clock back or changing timezones doesn't buy extra minutes.

🗑️

Data doesn't pile up

Detailed activity logs are automatically deleted after 30 days — only small daily totals are kept long-term.

🔗

Encrypted connections only

The agent only talks to Taskiddo over an encrypted connection — unencrypted connections are refused outside of local testing.
