Screen Time websites limits not working Sequoia 15 iMac screen time website limits are no longer functional. What other settings interract with website limits? This problem is across the parent iMac and Mac Mini (both on 15.0.1 and the child user space on the same iMac and the child iphone 11 on iOS 18. Was working but after attempting to ‘tweak’ some settings now the website limits are completely ineffective. And to echo other older submissions it’s annoying Safari appears to be ‘always allowed’ no matter what.

Screen time in Safari glitches when unlocking When I am using an app and reach a screen time limit, I can press Ignore Limit and select an option to unlock it. However, this doesn’t work properly in Safari. It briefly shows the page I’m trying to get to, then it locks it again. I have to either wait 15 seconds, close and reopen Safari, or choose the Ignore Limit option again. Why does it do this and can it be fixed? This happens both with Downtime or with individual restrictions and affects websites where the only restriction set is Downtime so it’s not a case of multiple restrictions applying.

Blocking Safari with ScreenTime Hi! I am trying to decrease distractions on my Macbook from 9-5 to improve my concentration while working. All I really need is Pages and Itunes, so I set up Screen Time to block most apps. It was funny because I had to treat myself as a 'parent' and make a password for a 'child' that I wrote down and hid in the back of a drawer :) I was thrilled that it worked, and it was great for a day, but today Safari is not responding to restrictions. I have set up Safari under App Limits to only allow one minute a day, but I've been on for at least 45. I tried quitting everything and restarting Screen Time but I am still on here, as you can see, ha. Any help getting Safari actually blocked would be wonderful. And I want to echo what I saw in other threads, please add Safari to the list of apps that can be blocked on Screen Time. Any help much appreciated.

I don't want to block Safari at all times, just during Downtime.
