You may want some apps to be allowed to run when:

  • The mode is not allowed to be used at that time of the day, e.g., after bedtime.
  • The user has run out of base time allowance and has no token time left.
  • ScreenCoach is not running.


To make these kinds of changes, you need to be logged in as a parent on the child device first.

  • Click on "⇔Change" to change user.
  • Choose a parent user.
  • Click on "Settings" in the tab bar at the bottom of the screen from the dashboard.
  • Choose "App Categories" from the following screen.
  • Select Always Allowed for the device type.
  • Add the apps to this category. Note: You may need to figure out which category your app is in.
    For example, Apple Music is under entertainment, and podcasts are under Health & Fitness.


That's it; these apps will always be allowed to be used at any time, even if not allowed.
