FamilyAtlasNo overall daily limit found
Canopy documents per-app daily limits and scheduled pauses, but we did not find a daily screen-time cap for the whole device.
Canopy alternative
Filtering is one part of the plan.
Canopy is built around content filtering and nudity detection. Parents look for an alternative when they also want daily screen-time limits, location history and family safety tools in the same app.

Why parents look beyond Canopy.
Few family safety tools
Canopy shows live location and place alerts. We did not find location history, check-ins or an SOS button in its documentation.
Priced per device
Canopy plans cover 1, 3 or up to 10 devices, billed annually.
