TimeBreak is a lightweight but powerful parental control tool that parents can use to monitor and limit the amount of time their child spends on the computer. TimeBreak allows parents to set the acceptable hours that their child is allowed to use the computer [for example, Junior can use the laptop from the hours of 4 pm-6 pm for 1 hour] and then automatically logs and locks them out. TimeBreak also allows parents to grant additional time to reward their children which they can earn [such as by completing chores, homework or other tasks] TimeBreak can be installed on multiple computers which all synchronize together over the network so that way if a child uses up their allocated time on one computer in the house, they cannot simply move to a different computer to begin fresh. This is very useful for households that have multiple computers such as in the kitchen, bedroom, den and office, no matter where the computer is located in the house, once TimeBreak has been installed and configured, the time will be the same regardless of which computer is used. TimeBreak is the best parental control program that is available for managing and controlling children's time spent on the computer, which is great for parents who are not home to enforce time limits. Now you can ensure that your child will only be able to use the computer when YOU say it is okay, and for how long YOU say it is okay, YOU will always be in control even when you're at work!
