Looser rules for the holidays, not none at all
School and homework are gone, the days get long, and the phone fills every gap. With TaskBlue you adapt the rules to the holidays: one window in the morning, focus for a day trip, or the grandparents' house as a place.
Sound familiar?
Three days into the holidays and your child is still in bed with the phone at noon. You don't want to spend the whole break telling them off, but you don't want to just watch either. The term-time rules don't fit anymore, and none at all doesn't work well either.
How to set it up
- 1
Holiday times instead of term times
Create holiday times, say from 9 am to noon, and take the homework schedule out for the time being.
- 2
The grandparents' house as a place
If you're visiting the grandparents, set their home as a place. Then the time there belongs to them.

Day trips by hand
On a trip to the zoo or the lake, your child holds the circle for three seconds. In the evening, you end focus with the BlueTag from your plan. The BlueTag the iPhone was set up with works without internet too.
What works well
Plan with your child
Ask your child before the holidays what they'd like to do. Then the focus times fit plans they're looking forward to.
Let boredom happen
A morning without apps can feel boring at first. That's often exactly where their best ideas come from.
Not every day the same
On travel days the phone can stay on, on beach days maybe not. Pick the weekdays to match your holiday.
Plan the return early
Switch the term-time schedules back on a few days before school starts. Then the first school day isn't also the first day with rules.
And the sea?
On holiday too, every focus hour funds the recovery of about 100 g of ocean plastic, up to 5 kg a month. How much plastic ends up in the sea is in our article ocean plastic in numbers.
Frequently asked
Do I have to delete the schedules for the holidays?
No. You can switch days off or change the times. If a PIN is set, that only works with it.
Does the BlueTag work without internet?
Yes. The BlueTag the iPhone was set up with ends focus offline too.
