e a recovery account. Create another Apple account with a password hard to memorize, like sjhr3762962826. Write that down. - In Content Restrictions > App Store, Media, Web, & Games > Web Content, set it to Only Approved Websites. Add all the websites you need to use in your daily life. Start simple, you'll quickly discover which ones you actually need. I'll let you in on a little secret: You don't need news.ycombinator.com in your pocket. - In Content Restrictions > iTunes & App Store purchases, disallow Installing Apps. - Personally, I also delete all apps that have any sort of infinite online content (even Wikipedia). - Set up Downtime for when you are supposed to be asleep. - Set up Always Allowed for critical apps which you might need even during your usual sleep hours (Health app, WhatsApp, Google Maps, etc.) - Final step: Let a very close person (like family member) change the Screen Time PIN, and let him write it down somewhere safe. Then give the password and the PIN to the person for safekeeping. When you need to change the settings (you want to add another allowed website, you want to install a new app, etc.) ask that person to make the change. There is a way you can not rely on another person, too. I won't detail it here, but it involves timelocking the Apple account's password and the Screen Time PIN. See https://github.com/rayanamal/timelock With this setup, you can’t change the Screen Time settings yourself, and you can’t reset the PIN using “I forgot the PIN” button either.
