Next thing I’d want my router to shut down the internet due to mindless browsing. Also shut it down when it’s too late…like 11pm sounds enough.

- Someone 5y agoYou can do that second part on iOS. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208982 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208982: “When you schedule downtime in Settings, only phone calls and apps that you choose to allow are available. Downtime applies to all of your Screen Time-enabled devices, and you get a reminder five minutes before it starts“
- gnyman 5y agoI'm not site how a router would identify "mindless browsing", but turning off Internet at certain times is a feature many routers have built in, usually under parental control. Worth a look if you haven't checked. Personally I ended up with a bit different solution, I wanted to do something similar, but needed it to work on my phone also so I ended up using nextdns to block part of the Internet (reddit and Facebook) after 10. Works reasonably well as trigger to stop my worst doomscrolling offenders. I wrote up a short post on how to do it https://blog.nyman.re/2021/01/10/reduce-doomscrolling-with.html https://blog.nyman.re/2021/01/10/reduce-doomscrolling-with.h...
