Works great-Nice options to end a kid's computer time
KidoffJune 14, 2010
Pros
Simple and small program. I just it on my kid's computer and was done. I then go to my laptop and have nice sense of control of my kid's computer time---the ending of which is in my control.
Cons
I'd like a version that showed me a screen shot of my kid's computer. I contacted the company and they said such a feature will be coming out soon. No real cons--the software does what it says.
Summary
So far, yes, this program allows for more peaceful endings for my kid's computer time. It is not an online time manager or site filter, etc. Other programs do that. All I know is that with it running, I can send several warnings and invariably just have to shut my kid's computer down. I feel like I have better control over my kid's online time with this program.

Developer’s Description

By Kidoff

Help parents get their kids off of the computer.

Your kid is on the computer and it's time to get them off. "Time's up" you say. "Just one more minute!" they say. Next thing you know, another hour goes by (but that's OK, because you don't even remember when they started). So the yelling across the house starts, and everyone gets upset. You might even charge in and slam the laptop closed or turn off the monitor. Now you're upset, they're in a wired and anti-social mood and everyone's mad at each other. It's a hard situation from which to recover. We think our software can help. Download our software called kidoff. Run it on the computer your child uses, then let them proceed with their "computer time." From another computer in the house (over your home-network), our software will allow you to talk to your child's computer (using a web browser) without them ever knowing. You can see exactly how long they've been on the computer. You can send them a warning window, when their time is almost up, or even few audible warning messages. You can gobble up some of their computer's memory or disk space, to slow things down for them. Lastly, you can simply SHUT DOWN THEIR COMPUTER without ever raising your voice. All from afar.
