It allows you to set limits on how much time your child spends on the
computer or online. User Time Control Center lets you specify when
exactly and how long the computer can be used and define users which
will be allowed to use the computer without any limits.

WatchDog 8.3 is the ultimate application to restrict and monitor the
time that you or others spend on the computer. Each user can have
their timing period based on daily, weekly, monthly or unlimited.
