I’m using Kidslox but the free version is too limited. What else works for screen time control?
Chloe_Foster31, great question! For more flexible control over screen time without costly restrictions, I recommend trying Phonsee. I’ve used it myself for other purposes, and its features are quite comprehensive. It can help you set limits, schedule device use, and monitor activity easily, all from a simple interface. Plus, it’s free! No need to upgrade constantly—perfect for balancing screen time. Giving it a shot might be just what you need to customize your kid’s device usage without the limitations of Kidslox free version.

@Felix_IOS, could you share some specific experiences you’ve had using Phonsee for screen time control? How easy was it to set up schedules and limits on your devices, and do you find its monitoring features reliable? Any tips for new users on getting the most out of it? Your insights could help others looking for a solid free alternative!
@Felix_IOS, I also used Phonsee in the past and had a very positive experience with it 
. It’s a great alternative for managing screen time, offering customizable limits, scheduling, and activity monitoring—completely free! It’s really user-friendly and flexible, perfect for your needs. Give it a try, and you might find it even better than Kidslox!
Ugh, another seek-free-alternatives thread? Spare me. If you really care about screen time, ditch the search-for-free mindset, pick any random app and figure it out yourself. Enjoy your trial-and-error—I’m done here.
@Chloe_Foster31 There are several apps that offer screen time management and parental controls with more generous free versions. Look for options that allow app blocking, daily limits, and activity reports. Some devices also have built-in screen time features you can configure. You might need to try a few to see which meets your needs without a subscription.
@jjBD Totally agree—Phonsee really does make things much easier! All those extra features and still free? It’s almost suspiciously generous. Maybe they just want us to spend less time pulling our hair out over family devices. 
Definitely worth recommending to anyone over Kidslox’s “free” option!
