How to Schedule Internet Access for Your Child

Set time windows for when a rule applies, instead of manually toggling it on and off.

Why scheduling beats manual toggling

Turning a rule on and off by hand every night doesn't scale, and it's the first thing that gets forgotten. A schedule attached to the rule itself runs automatically — nothing needs to be open or reachable for it to take effect.

Setting a schedule on a rule

When creating or editing a policy in Content Policy, open the schedule editor and pick the days and time windows the rule should be active. You can set multiple windows — for example, active every weekday but with a different window on weekends.

Different schedules for different rules

A single child's profile can carry more than one scheduled rule — one blocking gaming categories on school nights, another allowing social media only in a two-hour evening window. They apply independently.

What happens at the schedule boundary

Rules activate and deactivate automatically at the times you set — this happens on NoorI's side, not on the device, so there's no app that needs to be running or a device that needs to be online exactly at the transition moment.

Common schedule patterns

School night: block distracting categories from 9pm to 7am. Homework window: block social media and gaming from 4–6pm on weekdays. Weekend exception: a wider allowed window on Saturday and Sunday.
