We recently purchased Circle and it allows us to regulate the times of day that the kids are allowed on each device as well as a daily time limit for each kid. It also reports what sites are being used. We love it. It forced our child who would 'go downstairs to take a nap' (and instead was sneaking screen time) to find other things to do. For example, he has been on the trampoline and listening to audio books all summer long instead!

Should add that we do similar. The internet doesn't even 'come on' until 1:00 pm every day. They have to have done their Bible, reading, chores, piano (and also outdoor play) before they are allowed to access it.
