Feature request - Timed access to website + multiple recreation time periods

Hi, 

Would be good to have an allowed usage per day for website and category. Possibly even different time periods depending if its during recreational or not. I would like to be able to let my kids have unrestricted access to what they need during school, but outside of that they only have a set period.

And ability to set multiple recreation periods for each day.

Thanks

    Being able to have multiple recreation schedules would be useful.

    My kids are allowed to play Minecraft on Fridays for a couple of hours and WarRobots on Saturdays for a couple of hours. Right now, it isn’t possible to implement this restriction—I have to allow both games for both Friday and Saturday.

    For anyone interested, i've managed to find a work around. Its pretty involved and takes a bit of know how, but i have setup a node red server and created some schedules and overrides and stuff and can control the NextDNS apps and categories via the API. Its working good. Created a lot with ChatGPT, so there is that to help out.

    Even just setup some additional graphics and programmed some preset time allowance per day so the kids can have their own login to the Node red UI and self serve time on certain categories. When it runs out they have to wait for the next day.
