Why use this method?

Most Screen Time setups rely on:

The problem is that children quickly find loopholes, request more time, or simply use unrestricted apps.

✅ Downtime is on 24 hours a day

✅ Only approved apps can be opened

✅ Everything else is blocked automatically

Think of it as creating a "phone for life admin and communication" rather than an entertainment device.
