# How do I set up an app for always-free usage on ScreenCoach (so it doesn’t consume daily allowance or tokens)?

You can achieve this by creating a **custom mode**—for example, **“School Mode”**—and setting the **Time Multiplier** to **"Free Usage"**. This means any time spent in this mode will be multiplied by zero and won’t consume your child’s free time or tokens.

### Steps to set it up:

1. Open the **ScreenCoach** app and log in as a **Parent**.
    
2. Go to **Settings**.

3. Tap on **Manage Modes**.

4. Tap the large pink **“+”** button to create a new mode and name it (e.g., *School Mode*).
    
5. Choose an icon for the mode and **turn off "Allow Concurrency"**.
    
6. Enable the mode for the child users who will use it.
    
7. Set the active schedule for the mode — for example: **Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM**.
    
8. Tap **Save**.
    
9. Tap on the newly created **School Mode**.
    
10. Go to the **Daily Limits** tab.
    
11. In the **Time Multiplier** dropdown, select **“Free Usage.”**

Now, any apps assigned to this mode will be available during the set time without using up the child’s daily time or tokens.
