Circle can manage online screen time for any Internet-connected devices on your home network once Circle Home Plus is connected to your router.

You can monitor web use with the Usage and History features.

Usage gives you a view of all Internet activity by day, week, and month, by category, app, and site.

History shows all sites visited, what has been filtered by Circle, and lets you create custom filters.

However, popular sites like YouTube, Google, Netflix, and Facebook are fully encrypted, which limits Circle from seeing what was searched for or the content on that site.
