Computer Usage Manager
Get Codeproof Computer Usage Manager, a solution to restrict computer usage in your enterprise, so all computers use the same schedule to restrict usage.
Using this solution, IT Administrators can reduce wastage of company resources and prevent access to unwanted websites or content during non-business hours in an environment with increased emphasis on remote work.
By limiting the hours that that an employee can use a computer, Usage Manager also prevents employee overwork among work-from-home (WFH) employees.
Scheduling Policies
With an easy-to-use cloud dashboard, an IT Administrator can define a weekly schedule of start and end times on each day of the week for a single computer, a group of computer, or throughout the enterprise.
When the assigned time arrives, the computer will automatically shut down after providing a courtesy notification 30 minutes before the assigned time.
Why teams use Computer Usage Manager
Codeproof Computer Usage Manager (CUM) extends MDM-style policy to Windows PCs and Macs - giving IT, HR, and operations leaders direct control over when computers can be used, which apps and websites are allowed, and how productivity is reported.
Work-from-home (WFH) overtime prevention
Auto-shut-down policies enforce healthy work hours, reducing employee burnout and unintended overtime claims. The 30-minute courtesy notification gives users time to save their work.
Schools and K-12 1:1 programs
Limit student device usage to school hours, block recreational apps and websites during class, and free devices for study time. Pairs with CIPA-aligned content filtering.
Regulated workplaces
Banking, government, and healthcare teams use scheduled shutdowns to ensure systems are locked outside business hours - aligned with SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST 800-53 access-control requirements.
