Yes, I am talking about WIndows environment specifically. Regarding the license, yes I just purchased a new subsription for KSK. I am having trouble finding "I have a suggestion" section there. I thought that I just made that suggestion )))

It would be more practical to make one time limit for a child that would be applied to any machine the child uses. Now if a child uses several Windows machines, you will have to set up a separate time limit for each machine. This is not practical at all. And if you want to change the screen time limit, you will have to go through each child's profile and set it for each machine in his profile. I have many children and several PC's, and I see how difficult and time consuming it is. Setting one time limit for a day is much more useful. The child can use any machine, but the time he spends on each machine will be counted towards the one time limit.

It would very helpful to create profiles that would be applied to several children that we choose right away. I have 10 children of different age. When I want to add a website to the blacklist or whitelist or want to change screen time, it is very time consuming to do it in each child's profile. I don't know why, but all parental control systems that I tested (Qustodia, Norton Family, Mobicip, etc) have this shortcoming. The setting in the group profile would be applied to all selected children, but if later on we go to individual child's profile, any changes there would override the group profile settings. This would make it much easier to operate the parental control system when you have several children.

Look: I have 3 Children, Child 1, Child 2, Child 3. I also have 2 PCs. So I think it makes sense to make one time limit for each child irrespective of the machine he uses. So I might want to allocate 4 hours of PC usage for Child 1, 6 hours for Child 2, and 2 hours for Child 3. During the day they use whatever PC is free. So Child 1, for example, might use PC 1 for 2 hours. In that case he would have 2 hours remaining regardless of which PC he uses. I mentioned Android, since some children might have phones and tablets. So phone and tablet usage shouldn't be mixed with PC usage, in my opinion. Or you could make an option to allow user which device usage would be aggregated towards a common limit and which ones would be calculated separately.

I would suggest to make different time limits for each platform. I have several children and several PCs. My children use different PCs during a day, so it would be practical to count total time usage on different PCs towards one common limit for windows platform. For android or IOs we could set different limits.
