Systems and methods for software application usage detection on a user device and other computing device are disclosed. The software application usage detection is done by monitoring the network usage of the application or by usage recognition using methods provided by operating systems. The system identifies a set of applications and monitors their usage. The system is enabled to monitor the behaviors of users and control the same using smart rules set up based on user preferences to prevent over usage and usage in un-acceptable conditions.

Smart usage monitoring and access control of web and mobile applications

The systems and methods for software application usage detection on a mobile device are disclosed. The software application usage detection is done by monitoring the network usage of the application. The software application usage information is further refined by monitoring the screen lock state of the mobile device. The screen lock information is used to refine the background and foreground usage of the software application.

App usage detection based on screen lock state

Systems and methods for controlling application usage on a user device are disclosed. According to some embodiments, usage information is received from the user device. Whether one or more trigger criteria associated with a usage control mode are satisfied is determined based on the received usage information. If the trigger criteria are satisfied, application usage on the user device is controlled according to the usage control mode to reduce or eliminate distractions to the user. Otherwise if the trigger criteria are not satisfied, access to all applications is allowed on the user device.
