I have three teenage daughters who are currently not allowed on social media. But I want to give them some ability before they become adults. My eldest gave me a PowerPoint presentation on why she should be allowed on Snapchat, lol.

She made some good points. Her friend group has a group text and she wants to keep up with everyone but doesn’t want to get the ding notifications constantly.

Feels like a good opportunity for a Fediverse platform. Like a closed Mastodon/Pixelfed server and have some parental controls. Any projects out there?

(Yeah, yeah, I get it, a bit off-topic)

One of the rules we laid down was to plug your phone in outside your room before you go to bed.

Sorry, just some small note. Charging to 100% daily significantly shortens the battery lifespan. Staying between 20 - 80% is generally recommended.
But to be honest, if I still had a phone with user replaceable battery I'd just 100% it too. I mean, the battery for my Galaxy Ace is like €6.

Anyway, I've got some USB tester from AliExpress that also has a time limit. I can usually nail that near 80%. There's also some physical Bluetooth charge limiters, though that of course requires their app.

Irrelevant if your phone has built-in charge limiter.

But yeah, anyway, how you did it sounds fine.

Edit: Although theoretically, it probably could be done without an app. Bluetooth can share battery charge info.

There's a hardware device with a companion app that can do charge limiting for any Android or iOS device if you're so inclined. I haven't used it; I use ACCA.
