Long (100 words)

ScreenRhythm is an independent Windows app for families who want a screen-time agreement instead of hidden surveillance. Parents set daily limits, breaks and a weekly schedule; Pro adds a system-wide site filter, a phone panel and weekly reports. The child sees the timer, knows the rules and can request extra time, and the parent approves from a phone browser. Time limits work offline. The app does not read messages, take screenshots or require a Microsoft account. The free plan covers daily limits, breaks, schedule and screen lock; Pro costs $4.99/month or $39/year and starts with a 14-day trial.

Brand facts

• Name: ScreenRhythm — one word, capital S and R, no hyphen.
• Tagline: Screen time rules your Windows PC actually enforces.
• One-liner: A visible family screen-time agreement for the Windows PC, without surveillance.
• Not: a mobile app, a keylogger, a message reader or a secret monitoring tool.
• Works with: Windows 10/11, a local Windows account, no Microsoft account required.

Story angles

• Agreement, not surveillance. Most parental-control apps are built around secret screenshots and message reading. ScreenRhythm makes the rules visible to the child and gives them a way to ask for more time.
• Windows without a Microsoft account. Microsoft Family Safety requires a Microsoft account for the child. Many families use local accounts, especially on a shared or refurbished PC.
• The unsigned installer problem. A small independent Windows app cannot easily afford code signing and SmartScreen reputation. ScreenRhythm publishes the SHA-256, explains the warning and shows the install step by step.
• The printable agreement. The free screen-time agreement generator lets a family write the rules together, print them and review them later. It needs no email and runs in the browser.

First run: the parent sets a password. The default 2-hour daily limit, breaks and 9:00–21:00 schedule are already active.

Child view: the countdown and the next break are always visible, without a password.
