My child sneaks into games during class — Study Exclusive mode and points multiplier

Study Exclusive is the strictest app control: everything outside study apps and the system allowlist is closed, including non-study browser tabs. Enable it globally on the App Management page or only for a homework slot; with a points multiplier, studying also earns time points.

With Study Exclusive on, all processes outside the study group and the system allowlist are closed, and non-study browser tabs are closed too. There are two entries: the global Exclusive mode switch on the App Management page, and the per-slot “exclusive for selected study groups” option in the slot editor. Use it mainly for homework or class slots.

My child sneaks into games during online classes — what can I do?

Turn on Study Exclusive for the homework or class slot: everything outside study apps and the system allowlist closes automatically, so games are out of reach. Add a points multiplier so focused studying also earns entertainment time. Steps below.

Two ways to enable

  1. 01

    Create the study app group first

    Settings → App Management → create a Study apps group, add online classes, dictionaries, IDEs and homework apps, and enable Study apps.

  2. 02

    Bind the study group in a slot

    Time Management → Edit slot → click Bind apps and tick the study group in the sub-window.

  3. 03

    Tick exclusive and save

    Tick Exclusive for selected study groups, save, then click Apply Now.

  4. 04

    Set the points multiplier

    App Management → select an entry in the study group → Set rate → enter how many time points 1 study minute earns.

How many time points does one study minute earn?

It is set by the group's points multiplier: 1 study minute = N time points, starting at 1. Points accrue only while the study app is in the foreground with user input — idling does not count. Children can also earn points by answering questions in a Points & Quiz slot; see the related guide.
