Screen Time, Apple’s tool for checking the amount of hours you spend staring at a screen has been around since iOS 12, and it’s now made its way to the Mac. That means you can not only configure it from your Mac, but can include the usage of the Mac, and any other Mac running macOS Catalina that’s linked to your Apple ID, in the calculation of total screen time.
In addition to monitoring how much time you spend in different apps, you can schedule downtime; set limits for apps, groups of apps, and websites; and use Family Sharing to set these limits up for your children.
By grouping certain apps, you can ensure that you or your children can only use a device to work or study, say, rather than for gaming or watching YouTube at specified times. And you can choose to be alerted when you are nearing the screen time limit so that you can actually finish what you’re doing. In a pending update, you’ll also soon be able to set limits on who your children communicate with during the day and in downtime. Kenny Hemphill
