Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

How do I change the category an app's screen time is counted towards?

The app Sibelius is counted as an entertainment app within the screen time categories, even tough it is a creativity app. I know I can set an individual screen time for the app but then I still have no entertainment time left as It counts to both I believe.

So my question is: How do I change the category an app's screen time is counted towards?

MacBook Air

Hi Bixy53,


The various settings for Screen time can controlled.


Click the small Black apple icon at left of the top menu bar.,

and choose "System preferences:

In the window that opens, select "Screen time."


If you click the small question mark in the Screen time window that opens:

a page of description of what you can do to make any changes you want appears.


Hoping this helps you
