Ration-it 1.0.2

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This overly simplistic, basic application lets you set the number of minutes that users can work on your computer, but some may find the demo restriction unreasonable. Ration-it has a bland, password-protected interface that lets you input the minutes a user can spend on your PC before the computer shuts down or the user is logged off. However, the program doesn't support multiple users, which is an oversight. The application displays a warning message five minutes before it logs off the user or shuts down the machine. The trial is extremely limited, only allowing you to test if for 10 minutes per day. Parents desiring a no-frills assistant in controlling their child s computer usage should give Ration-it a try, but other users will certainly demand more.

Publisher's description

From Objenix :

Ration-it is parental-control software designed to limit the amount of time your child can spend on the computer each day. Quite simply, you set the number of minutes per day for your child's computer use. When there are only five minutes left, a warning message is shown. With just one minute left, a final warning is given. If after the final minute your child has not logged off, they will automatically be logged off by Ration-it.

As the administrator of Ration-it, you can set up a secret password giving you access to the configuration page where you can set the number of minutes per day and the number of minutes remaining for the current day.
