This would be a good place to start for how to do that on a Mac Use Screen Time on your Mac - Apple Support


Limit usage


Use the Downtime, App Limits, Communication LimitsAlways Allowed, and Content & Privacy features in the Screen Time sidebar to schedule downtime and set limits on apps and websites. Limits apply to this Mac and all of your other devices that are using Screen Time and have “Share across devices” turned on.

To set limits for a child account, choose the child's name from the menu in the upper-left corner, then set up each feature.* Or do it from each of your child's devices.
