How to Create Schedules with CleanBrowsing

The scheduling feature allows you to create time-based exceptions to your network filtering. Allow what you normally block, and block what you normally allow — all on a schedule.

Step 1: Basic vs Advanced Scheduling

The scheduling feature is available on plans Pro50 and above. There are two tiers:

TypeFeaturesPlan
Basic2 schedules per profile. Rules apply every day.Pro50
AdvancedUnlimited schedules per profile. Rules apply to individual days (e.g., Mon, Wed, Sun) or groups of days (e.g., weekends, weekdays).Pro100+

Step 2: How the Scheduler Works

The scheduler is bound to a specific profile — make sure to create the schedule for the correct profile.

The scheduler works with both Categories and Predefined Platform Filters. It will override existing settings in the selected profile during the specified time period.

Examples

  • Unblock during homework time: If Video Streaming is blocked via categories, the same category can be unblocked during a specific time period.
  • Allow specific games: If Gaming is always blocked, but you're OK with Roblox between 5 PM and 10 PM, it can be unblocked during that window.

Step 3: Create a Schedule

Access the scheduler in your dashboard settings. The module is located in your left-hand navigation under Categories Scheduler.

  1. Give your schedule a descriptive name
  2. Set the start and end time
  3. The system will automatically identify what is currently allowed or blocked and show you the available actions
  4. Select the categories or platform filters to override during the scheduled period
  5. Save the schedule

Note: Every schedule is tied to a profile, so you will only see the schedule in its respective profile.
