Essential Info

* The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting children's screen time to 1-2 hours of quality programming per day.

"You guys are geniuses, and have definitely taken a huge bite out of the daily stress of parenthood! THANK YOU!" - Ilene, mother of two

BOB is the answer to the endless fight over screentime struggles in today's home. BOB works by controlling power to any electronic device. The device plugs into BOB, within a key-locked compartment. The parent then programs BOB with each child's daily or weekly time limits. Each BOB has up to 6 unique user accounts. Each child can turn on the device using their own access code. Once time is up, BOB automatically shuts off the device. Parents can turn the device on at any time by using the master code and even access a report on how the children are using their allotted time.

What's Included

  • BOB
  • Instructions
  • More Info


    Access Codes can be changed as often as you like; one mother rewarded her son's finished homework or chores with his new daily code!

    The device truly empowers children to control their own time while still allowing parents to set limits. No more fighting about "five more minutes"! Bob is child proof and hack proof; even the most tech-savvy kids won't be able to unplug a device from BOB!

    Less screentime=better health & better grades!
    Less arguing=happier and healthier family!

    "Very easy to install. Very effective in limiting TV usage." - JEANNE - MONROE, CT
