Blocks all playback during scheduled hours — great for bedtime or nap time. If a card is inserted during quiet time, it will immediately pause. You can set different schedules for each day of the week, or disable specific days entirely.

• Set it once and forget it — quiet time activates automatically every night.
• If a card is already playing when quiet time starts, it will be paused within seconds.

Instead of pausing the player when quiet time begins, you can choose a specific card to play instead. This is perfect for switching to Sleep Radio or a wind-down playlist at bedtime.

• Pick any card from your family library, including a specific chapter or track.
• You can apply the same transition card to all devices at once.

Need a few more minutes past bedtime? Quiet time bonus lets you temporarily extend playback by 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. The bonus expires automatically — no need to remember to re-enable quiet time.

Set a daily cap on total listening time. When the limit is reached, playback pauses automatically. The limit resets every day at midnight in your configured timezone. You can set the limit in 15-minute increments.

• The progress bar on each device card shows how much time has been used and how much remains.

Add (or subtract) bonus time on the fly. Grant an extra 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour of listening for the day, or pull back 15 minutes if needed. Bonus time resets at midnight along with the daily limit.

Pause any individual player with one tap, or pause all devices at once from the global controls. Paused devices won't play anything until you resume them — even if a card is inserted.

Create rules for specific cards to control what happens during playback. Auto-skip certain tracks, stop playback after a specific chapter, or automatically transition to a different card when a track ends.

• Rules are tied to specific cards — you can have different rules for each card in your library.
• Access rules from the device card when a card is playing, or from the Library page.

Tell the player to stop after the current track or chapter finishes. This appears automatically on the device card whenever something is playing — perfect for "one more story" moments.

Configure quiet time start and end times with per-day overrides. Set a default schedule that applies to most days, then customize individual days — for example, a later bedtime on weekends.

Override the Yoto player's built-in day/night mode with your own schedule. Set custom wake and sleep times for each day of the week. This controls when the player switches between its day and night display modes.

• This is separate from quiet time — day/night mode controls the player's display, while quiet time controls playback.

See what every player is doing in real time. The dashboard shows the currently playing track, online/offline status, daily usage progress, and a weekly listening chart — all updated live via server-sent events.

• The green dot next to a device name means it's online and connected.
• Today's listening history shows the last 5 tracks played, with a "View All" option for the full history.
• The weekly bar chart shows listening time for the last 7 days.
