Screen Time on Mac
Screen Time shows you how you spend time in apps and on websites. It also lets you monitor what your kids are doing on their Apple devices.
Set your limits. Set limits to control how much time you spend with specific apps, categories of apps, and websites. You can also view reports to see how much time you’re spending with apps and websites, and schedule downtime away from your Mac.
