Time Monitor 1.0.8

Time Monitor 1.0.8 is a parental control software allowing you to limit the time your kids spend using a computer. Computer time limits are controlled by enforcing access policies you define within the Time Monitor Administrator program. These policies define the time they can access a computer and the amount of time they can be on.

The time monitoring software will limit kids computer time and give you the parental control you need. You make the decisions that determine when they can access the computer and for how long. It's easy to use and free to try.
