Have a question?
Everything you need to know about how Kupola works, what it does, and how you stay in control.
-
Can I set different routines for weekdays and weekends?
Yes. You can create separate screen time schedules for weekdays and weekends. This makes it easy to allow more flexibility on weekends while keeping school days structured and predictable.
-
What happens when time runs out?
When the daily screen time limit ends, restricted apps and games are automatically paused. Your child can clearly see that time is over, which helps avoid arguments and keeps rules fair and consistent.
-
Is Attention Mode permanent?
No. Attention Mode is temporary. You can pause your child’s device when focus is needed—like during homework or dinner and resume access anytime with one tap.
-
Can I change settings without my child noticing?
Yes. Parents can adjust routines, limits, and app rules quietly from their own device. Changes apply smoothly without interrupting your child or drawing unnecessary attention.
-
Can I block only certain apps during homework?
Absolutely. You can block distracting apps or games while allowing educational or approved apps to stay available, so your child can focus without losing access to what they need.
