The short answer
Android does not let any app fairly limit screen time without a few special permissions. CuriOra asks only for what enforcement and sync need. We design these for guidance and fair budgets—not for scaring kids or selling data.
Required for limits to work
Accessibility
Why: When a budget is used up, CuriOra needs a reliable way to block or close the app that’s over the limit.
What it is not: It is not a way for us to read your messages, control your bank apps for profit, or run ads.
Usage access (app usage)
Why: So budgets are based on real app use, and parents can see calm summaries of what was used.
What it is not: Not a live video feed of the screen, and not a keylogger.
Strongly recommended
Notifications
So the Kids app can wake for rule updates and when a parent approves extra time. Without notifications, limits still work but may feel slower to update.
Optional
Location
Why (if you turn it on): Parents can see a last check-in style location on Devices—useful when a phone is with the child away from home.
What it is not: Continuous spy tracking. Kids do not see a parent map. You can skip location and still use limits, pairing, and quests.
If you change your mind
- You can revoke permissions in Android Settings for the Kids app.
- Without Accessibility or Usage access, fair blocking usually stops working.
- Parents can remove a device from the family in Parent → Devices.
