Many parents are very troubled by their children playing games and watching videos, and mobile phones seriously affect their children’s learning.
I believe that many parents have been looking for an openwrt plug-in to control the time of games and videos, but they have never found what they want.
In commercial routers, there are generally URL filtering or Internet time control functions, but these cannot be controlled based on apps,
such as only prohibiting game apps without affecting chat and learning apps. Because the function based on app control is generally only available in enterprise-level routers,
and the price is very expensive.
Now there are more and more users playing the openwrt system, and the demand for parental control plug-ins is also increasing. I have developed a parental control plug-in,
which is used to control the time of children playing games and watching videos. It can be controlled based on apps, such as only prohibiting youtube, facebook, etc., but other apps are not affected,
and it supports app usage time statistics. The project is completely open source. You can download the source code and compile it into the firmware. You can modify the configuration file to support the app you want.

The project is under continuous development, and it is constantly adapting to more apps and supporting more languages. At present, the support for Chinese is better, and everyone is welcome to make suggestions.
