You can select the grade level of your child and the number of educational quizzes and puzzles that will display during their screen time. You can monitor your child’s activity on your phone via an activity dashboard and log.

The questions are primarily STEM-related – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – with geography and English language skills as well. The educational content varies by grade from simple fun interactive games to more advanced topics for older children.

Your information is also deleted when you uninstall the app. We do not share or sell your information to third parties.

When signing up for TimeoutIQ, you are asked to set up a personal PIN. You will be asked to enter this PIN when switching devices or accessing your child’s device to unlock it.

OTP is a unique time-sensitive PIN number delivered dynamically by the TimeoutIQ app. It is used for pairing devices or when you need to reset your password.

Troubleshooting App Permissions

TimeoutIQ is a screen time management app which means it needs to provide you with the ability to set a time interval after which the phone will automatically lock out your child. TimeOutIQ should also be prevented from being uninstalled from your child’s device unless as the parent/guardian you uninstall it yourself.

This is why it’s important to understand how to set up or update the app’s permissions on the device.

I have installed the app on both my device and the device used by my child, but it fails to launch or monitor my child’s device.


– If you encounter this problem, please check the permission settings on the device assigned to your child.

The following permissions should be checked or updated:

– Device administrator permission

  • Go to Settings > Search for Admin > click on Device Admin Apps (it may also be called Phone Administrators > Select TimeoutIQ> Click on Activate
  • This permission will prevent your child from uninstalling the app and lock the device once the allotted screen time expires.
  • Learn how to grant Device administrator permission.

– Accessibility permission (This is optional)

  • Go to Settings > search for accessibility > scroll down and click on Accessibility > scroll down and click on TimeoutIQ > Activate
  • This permission provides Android accessibility features to be enabled on your child’s device.
  • Learn how to grant Accessibility permission.

– Overlay permission (also called Appear on Top or Draw over other Apps or Display over other apps)

  • Go to Settings > search for Appear on Top (or Draw over other Apps) > click on Appear on Top > scroll down and click on TimeoutIQ > activate
  • This permission will allow the app to display TimeOutIQ’s educational content on any running application.
  • Learn how to grant Overlay permission.

-App usage permission (also called Usage Data Permission or Data Usage Control)
