About TimeLimit.io APK
Table Of Contents
Description
FlexibleApps are grouped to categories (a category can contain one or multiple App).
You can chose per category at which times it should be allowed. This allows preventing playing games too late.
Additionally, you can configure time limit rules. These rules limit the total usage duration at one day or over multiple days (e.g. a weekend). It is possible to combine both, e.g. 2 hours per week end day, but in total only 3 hours.
Moreover, there is the possibility to set an extra time. This allows using something longer than regulary once. This can be used as bonus. There is additionally the option to disable all time limits temporarily (e.g. for the whole day or an hour).
Multi user support
There is the scenario that one device is used by exactly one user. However, with tablets, there are often multiple possible users. Due to that, it is possible to create multiple user profiles in TimeLimit. Each user has got different settings and time counters. There are two kinds of users: parents and children. If a parent was chosen as user, then there are no restrictions. Parents can chose any other user as current user. Children can only chose themselves as current user.
Multi device support
There are scenarios in which one user has got multiple devices. Instead of time limits per device and splitting the limits across the devices, it is possible to assign one user to multiple devices.
Then the usage durations are counted together and allowing an App automatically affects all devices. Depending on the settings, only one device per time can be used or multiple devices at the same time. However, un the second case, it is possible to use more time than available e.g. at connection interruptions.
Connected
It is possible to view and change settings from any linked device. This connection is possible - if wanted - using your server.
Notes
Some features cost money if you don't use your own server. These features cost 1 € per month/ 10 € per year (in Germany).
TimeLimit does not work good at some smartphone brands (mostly Huawei and Wiko). With the correct settings, it can work better. But better is not good.
If it "does not work": This can be caused by power saving features. You can find at https://dontkillmyapp.com/ how you can disable these features. Get in touch with the support if that does not help.
TimeLimit uses the permission for the usage stats access. This is only used to detect the currently used App. Based on the currently used App, the App is blocked, allowed, or the remaining time is calculated.
The device admin permission is used to detect an uninstallation of TimeLimit.
TimeLimit uses the notification access to block notifications of blocked apps and to count and block background playback. Notifications and their contents are not saved.
TimeLimit uses an accessibility service to press the home button before showing the lock screen. This fixes blocking in some cases. Moreover, this allows opening the lockscreen at newer Android versions.
TimeLimit uses the permission "draw over other Apps" to allow opening the lockscreen at newer android versions and to overlay blocked Apps until the lockscreen is launched.
TimeLimit uses the location access to detect the used WiFi network and allow/ block Apps depending on it and your settings. The location access is not used otherwise.
If the connected mode is used, then TimeLimit may transmit the usage durations and - if enabled - the installed Apps to the parent user.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
5 ★This app is very useful & flexible. I use it to limit my own use of social media. NOTE: 1. 1st, set all apps to ALLOWED. Otherwise, phone & text will be prohibited--even INCOMING calls. Then move selected apps to the desired limited category. 2. If U set a time limit, (2 hrs) & click multiple days, (Mon, Tu, Wed), then that time limit will be combined for all days checked. To set the same time limit on multiple day days, (1 hr/day Mon-Fri) use repeat option.
2 ★This seems like a great app. Lots of different options, from blocking from on time to another or setting a usage limit. You could limit the time you spend globally on your phone or just one app. That said, there's a lot of conflicts for me, like with parts of my settings app. I can open some of them, but not all. So I can't whitelist this app from the battery saving option, but passwords and general options, and mostly the app blocks itself from accessing support.. So meh
5 ★I use this on my kids Amazon fire and I think it is awesome. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it occasionaly stop counting time and I get notification "TimeLimit in internal whitelist". Could you please describe why is this happening and how to prevent it. And also how to fix it without uninstall, remove, install, setup all. Thanks! Update : I am editing to 5 stars because of awesome support on my issue.
5 ★The only app I've found which allows you to set a time limit and also block for certain times of the day. The developer has done a great job. My only criticism is the text instructions are a little hard to follow, with a more professional UI this app would be the best in the space by far.
3 ★This app is increidbly inconvenient. There is no way to change the default behavior for apps that are not in a list. And the default behavior is to block them! So every time you install an app you have to add it to a list before you can use it. I tried to chanhe my wallpaper on the settings and i got blocked... YES! EVEN SYSTEM APPS ARE BLOCKED BY DEFAULT -edit- i finally found how to fix this problem. You have to set a category to “use this category for unassigened apps” very unintuitive tho!!
5 ★Most advanced and useful time limiter I've come across. Configuration can be a bit annoying, but works great once you get the hang of it and have it set up. I use the version on F-Droid.
5 ★Although its intefarce could be improved and more intuitive, it's a 5 star for me since it is the best / only open source available and is a perfect companion of google Family Link.
3 ★it crashes after I scan the QRcode in android 5.1
1 ★settings are far too complicated
5 ★Super Support
5 ★Funktioniert sehr gut, tut was sie soll und schickt keine Daten an Google oder Facebook! 👍
5 ★Excellent
