Nobody said technology and the Internet are the root of all evil, but this doesn’t mean spending too much time in front of the computer is a good thing, especially for youngsters. In case you can’t keep them away with good will, maybe applications like Nanny Shutdown help you limit the time.

The application gets installed on your computer pretty quick, giving you the chance to check out the set of features. A compact main window shows up when launched, with a custom-made interface that's pretty intuitive, given the amount of descriptions that make sure you don’t get stuck along the way.

Nanny Shutdown, as the name suggests, aims to take control of the shutdown function of your computer, but not without purpose. It’s meant to turn the PC off whenever a specified time period runs out, so you, or youngsters, don’t spend too much time hopelessly wondering on the information superhighway, and tend to more important activities.

The target time is set by either manually writing down corresponding numerical values for hours, minutes, and seconds, which means there’s really no limit, except the length of a day. Moreover, the administrator account can be used to apply these settings to all other users on the specific PC.

Since the computer gets forcefully shut down, you risk losing all unsaved projects and files. Luckily, there’s a built-in feature that reminds you in advance that time is running out, so you can add finishing touches or save important stuff. By default, you need to run the application each day, but there’s an option to make it run with Windows, for even less effort.

Bottom line is that Nanny Shutdown is a practical utility you might want to keep around, not only for youngsters, but also for your own personal benefits. In case you know you're killing way too much time doing nothing on the computer, this application can be the start to something fresh, or at least useful.
