Steam and launchers

Steam game time limits for kids

pliddo can scan common Windows game locations and monitor games launched from Steam, Epic Games, Desktop shortcuts, Start Menu shortcuts, or standalone executables.

How pliddo helps with launcher games

  • Auto-scan finds many games and shortcuts from common Windows locations.
  • Manual browse lets parents add any missing .exe or .lnk file.
  • Process monitoring focuses on the game process, not only the launcher window.
  • Each game can follow the family rules for sessions, cooldowns, and daily caps.

Best first settings

Start with a 35-minute session, a 20-minute cooldown, and a 70-minute daily cap. Add blocked hours for homework and bedtime, then adjust after a week of real use.
