How this automation works
Stay aware of your screen time by receiving an email whenever your daily smartphone usage goes over your set limit. This runs automatically when QualityTime detects that your specified threshold of usage minutes has been exceeded. It's perfect for anyone looking to manage digital wellbeing and monitor daily habits—customize the message to fit your tone.
