Introducing ryfitm, A Better Way To Pause A Child's Wifi And Help Parents Manage Screen Time On-Command

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ryfitm, the pause button for kids' wifi from Rybot, launched today as an Indiegogo campaign. ryfi is an easy solution for parents to help manage their child's screen time using the ryfi app or SMS text messages.

"Kids have access to a number of connected devices in the home ? from tablets and gaming consoles to laptops and desktops ? yet parents do not have the right tools to help manage their children's screen time," said John Barrera, Founder and CEO of ryfi. "As a father of three, I have witnessed first-hand the ongoing bartering for 'one last game' or 'five more minutes' that children are constantly negotiating for. Now with ryfi, parents have a solution that is easy to set up, and either through text or the ryfi app, can turn wifi 'on' or 'off' on-command or by creating a schedule, without disrupting their own connection."

ryfi is a hardware device and a mobile app that empowers parents to take control of their kids' screen time. Creating a wifi network in the home dedicated just for kids, parents manage when ryfi is "on" using a simple set of features in the app or by sending commands via SMS text. Parents can set screen time boundaries for their kids without disrupting their own internet connection including other connected devices throughout the house that rely on web access.

Feature highlights include:

• ryfi setup is easy and quick for busy parents ? no special technical skills or fancy cables required.
• Control ryfi with a single tap via the app or by sending a SMS text to ryfi, at home or on the go.
• Create a weekly schedule to block out common times when ryfi should be "on" or "off."  
• Encourage children to participate in the home economy with check ins for homework, household chores.
