Screen Time on Mac is a handy way to track app usage and restrict content for kids, but your notifications can be annoying. To deactivate them, you can turn off notifications or just turn off screen time. Here's how to do both.
How to disable screen time notifications on Mac
If you want to continue using Screen Time but not receive Screen Time notifications, here we show you how to disable them. First, click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of the screen and select “System preferences”.
In System Preferences, click on “Notifications”.
In Notifications preferences, scroll down the list of apps until you see “Screen time” and click on it. Then click the switch next to “Allow notifications from screen time” until it turns off.
Close System Preferences. Thereafter, you will no longer receive notification alerts from Screen Time.
How to Absolutely Disable Screen Time on Mac
If Screen Time sends you notifications, but you don't want to use Screen Time (what sometimes happens if a recent macOS update has turned on Screen Time automatically), you can disable Screen Time completely. That's how.
First, open System Preferences by clicking on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of the screen and selecting “System preferences” on the menu. In System Preferences, click on “Screen time”.
In Screen Time preferences, click on “Choices” in the lower left corner of the window. Then click the button “Delete” in the upper right corner.
Screen time will be completely disabled, finally peace.
If you prefer, you can track your Mac usage without using Screen Time through the use of alternative apps like Time Sink and Activity Watch. Good luck!
