One limit.
Every screen.

Set one daily limit in the app. When it runs out, every screen goes dark. The TV and the computer too.

Every tool stops
at the TV.

Phone controls stay on phones. Router controls only cut the internet. Smart plugs are easy to spot. Time‑Cord closes the gap.

How it works.

One app sets the limit. Every screen in the house follows it.

1

You set the limit

In the Time-Cord app, choose how much screen time your child gets today.

2

One shared limit

Every minute on any screen counts toward the same daily limit.

Phones & tablets

The Time-Cord app on your child’s device locks it with the controls built into iOS and Android.

TV & computer

Time-Cord cuts the power to the screen. It goes dark until you add time.
