Focused study time when it counts
In exam season, every quiet hour counts. With TaskBlue you set fixed study times when games and social media are invisible. After the last exam, you simply take those times out again.
Sound familiar?
The final exam is getting close, the study plan is on the wall. Still, ten minutes in, your teen is back in the chat. They want to study, which is exactly why they're annoyed with themselves at night. Good intentions don't do much against an app that keeps calling. How much screen time makes sense is in our guide on limiting screen time.
How to set it up
- 1
Add study times to the week
Create separate windows for the exam weeks, weekends included if you like. Every day can be chosen on its own.
- 2
Start by hand when needed
For an extra study session, your child holds the circle in the app for three seconds. Focus then runs until it's ended with the BlueTag, the PIN or an emergency exit.

Morning study with the alarm
The alarm in TaskBlue rings until the BlueTag is scanned. A morning focus of 30 minutes to two hours can follow, for vocabulary before school for example.
What works well
Make the plan together
When your teen suggests the study times, they're more likely to stick to them. Decide together which apps stay away.
Breaks are breaks
Between two study blocks the phone can be there. Then the break feels like a break and not like a ban.
Wind down after the exam
The study times don't have to stay. Delete them afterwards or keep only the ones that worked for you.
Show the progress
In the app, your teen can see how much ocean plastic their study hours have funded so far. That can be a nice boost.
And the sea?
Every focus hour funds the recovery of about 50 g of ocean plastic, up to 5 kg a month. Two hours of study on 25 days make 50 hours, which is already about 2.5 kg.
Frequently asked
Can I set study times for just a few weeks?
Yes. Create them as separate schedules and delete them after exam season. Your other schedules stay as they are.
Do learning apps and the dictionary stay open?
Yes, as long as you don't pick them. TaskBlue only makes invisible what you tap in Apple's picker.
What if my teen finishes early?
Then you end focus with the BlueTag or your PIN.
