Metronomos is a simple and functional application that lets you set usage limits to your computer. It’s the perfect tool for parents that want to control how much time their children spend in front of the computer.
The polished interface is very easy to use, regardless if you’ve worked with similar software or not. The main window shows the current time limit and the duration spent on the computer by the user. Running it as an administrator is needed to make changes.
Metronomos detects all Windows users and displays them in the Administration panel. You can set daily time limits for each of them. It lets you set a time interval for a certain user but also a maximum time limit that cannot be exceeded. Furthermore, you can add various rules as long as they don’t overlap.
Only the administrator can customize the rules, which needs to be confirmed through a password that can be defined the first time you run Metronomos. Nevertheless, you can change it later from the Settings section and you’ll also need it if you want to uninstall the application.
