Hey,
I am looking into creating an app that sets limits on what apps can be use while in the apps focused mode. Something similar to Opal or Forest. I saw that the Screen Time API has similar utility for parental control apps, would I be able to use the API for an app tailored to adults with it remaining under guidelines?
Hi, Yes the Screen Time API frameworks provide the capability to provide screen time management for personal as well as guardian control.
