Is the particular ask here for mobile or desktop versions?

    For me as well! Though mobile would be appreciated too (and also of course prioritize this appropriately with the rest of things)

    Has this already been implemented? I don't see anything in the Release Notes and the latest v0.99.124.1-beta still isn't detecting app limits on my end

      Is there any way to disable this? Getting around the clunky way that Safari handles Downtime is actually what brought me to using Orion.

      I use Downtime during certain timeframes to keep me focused and block out distractions. However, I often need to browse the internet but it’s not possible as every website is blocked (even the good ones). One solution would be to have Orion respect the “always allowed” option and propagate that to all websites.

        I recently switched my son to Kagi for search, and use the parent control functions that Kagi provides. However for browsing I have to rely on Safari and the parent control function provided by iCloud. To make Orion suitable for entire families, it should report the sites to Apple's parent control system (not sure if it's possible) or support parent control directly (perhaps integrating with Kagi's).

        A parent would need the following functions to control child accounts:

        • black-listing sites or only allowing white-listed sites
        • control how much time can be spent on certain sites per day
        • control total browsing time per day

          sorry but isn't more convenient doing this system wide with a vpn app? the bitdefender one has this option for example... because your son could always install another browser defeating the parental control in orion

            also you should be able to do this system wide with "screen time"?

                chorizo VPN can be turned off and can interfare with other low-level network apps. Installing another browser isn't an issue, since app usage can be controlled by Screen Time.

                    chorizo The sites visited using Orion isn't visible to Screen Time. Only sites visited using Safari can be controlled with Screen Time.
