Your Redmi phone has a built in tool to track screen time and app usage. You do not need to download any extra apps. Just follow the simple steps below.
How to See Your Screen Time on Redmi
- Open the Settings app on your Redmi phone.
- Scroll down and tap Digital Wellbeing and Parental Controls. On some newer Redmi phones running HyperOS, this may appear as Healthy Device Usage. The steps inside are almost the same.
- Your total screen time for today shows on the main screen.
- Tap the circle or Dashboard to see more details like app usage, unlock count, and notifications.
- Swipe or tap the bars to check your screen time from previous days.

- You will see how long you used that app today and before.
How to Set a Time Limit on an App on Redmi
- Open Settings and tap Digital Wellbeing and Parental Controls.
- Tap Dashboard.
- Scroll to the app you want to limit.
- Tap the hourglass icon next to the app.
- Set your daily limit like 30 minutes or 1 hour.

How to Turn On Focus Mode on Redmi

How to Add a Screen Time Widget on Redmi Home Screen

Yes. These steps work on almost all Redmi phones with Android 9 or newer. This includes Redmi Note 14, Redmi Note 15, Redmi 13, Redmi 15 series, and most recent models. Updated for 2026.
