It’s stressful trying to keep your kids focused during distance learning. That’s where the Xfinity App comes in — you can easily keep tabs on daily screen time.

The Xfinity App allows you to name each device in your household, setting different screen time restrictions for different kids and even turning off their phone’s internet access during the school day. The screen time feature isn’t just for kids—you can pause everyone’s device for a tech-free meal or to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

These features are available to all Xfinity internet subscribers for free.
