What it does

Do you know how your child spend time for the media such as smart devices, TV, games, animations, etc? The recommended screen time is less than 1 or 2 hours for children aged 3 to 8. ( by American Academy of Pediatrics and Canadian Pediatric Association ) 'Green Timer' is to record screen time for your child. We focused on the most basic functions. It records time and gives statistics. Whatever the media you child uses, you can easily record screen time of your kids. Tap the 'Start' button when your child starts using the media, and tap the 'Stop' button when the child stops using the media. 'Green Timer' automatically records the time between these. You can easily check whether the time limit is over or not with a green circle. The green status is less than the time limit, and the red status has exceeded the time limit. And you can easily check the usage time between 7 days, 1 month, 1 year through statistics. It is also a very useful tool for children. Children aged 5 to 8 can start and end our app themselves. You may want to let them use it directly. It will help your child develop proper media usage habits. [ Usage ] 1. Tap the 'Start Recording' button when your child starts using the Media. 2. You can set a time alert. 3. Tap the 'Stop' button when your child stops using the Media. ( The screen time will be accumulated until 'Stop' button is pressed. )

This is not for everyone. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I’m genuinely curious where HN stands on this tradeoff: comfort vs. effectiveness. Happy to answer questions about: –…
