Sibling screen-time schedule
ScreenTimeSplit — Sibling Screen-Time Fair-Share Scheduler
Fairly allocate a shared tablet, console, TV, or family device across multiple kids with adjustable age presets, bonus minutes, and a printable rotation chart.
Problem this solves
Parents with multiple children sharing limited devices often re-negotiate turns every day. ScreenTimeSplit creates an objective schedule so the parent is not constantly mediating device arguments.
Who this is for
Parents of multiple children, roughly ages 4-14, who share a tablet, gaming console, TV, Chromebook, or other household device.
Example use case
A parent with three kids enters ages 6, 9, and 12, chooses one tablet, adds bonus minutes for chores, and prints a weekday schedule to post on the fridge.
Why this tool exists
It converts a recurring daily friction point into a one-time setup task with a clear, printable result that everyone can see.
Privacy note
No account is required. Names, ages, and schedules stay in the browser. Optional saving uses localStorage on this device only.
Limitations
Presets are general household planning starters, not medical advice. Pediatric guidance changes and varies by child, so parents should edit the minutes freely.
FAQ
ScreenTimeSplit FAQ
How does the fair rotation work?
The scheduler repeatedly chooses the child with the lowest assigned-time ratio relative to that child's allowance, while avoiding assigning the same child to two devices at the same time.
Can I make weekend rules different?
Yes. Each child has weekday and weekend minutes. The day-type switch chooses which allowance set to use.
What happens if the window is too short?
The result shows any unscheduled time so you can extend the window, add devices, lower allowances, or shorten turn length.
