Developer’s Description

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.
