Editor's review of Sleepy

4.0 stars

This utility can do much more than just turn your PC off at a specified time. Sleepy enables you to control when your children (or employees) are allowed to use a computer. For example, you can set your kids' PC to turn off at 8 p.m. on school nights and at 10 p.m. on Saturdays. The program runs in the background and doesn't take much memory. The interface includes a basic and advanced mode, with general program settings available in the advanced mode. You can schedule actions for any day of the week or a particular block of days, such as weekends, from a drop-down list. The program also features the Sleepy screen saver which hows your favorite screen saver, then shuts down or logs off if the PC remains unused.

However, Sleepy doesn't make it easy to schedule actions for irregular sequences of days, such as a Monday-Wednesday-Friday block. Instead, you have to schedule separate actions for each of those days. We would like to see a more flexible method of setting a schedule. While parents are the main market for Sleepy, small businesses and school computer labs also might benefit.

"not worth the cost"

by dumplings726 on March 22, 2008

Cons: At $29.95 this is hardly a "good deal". There is other free software out there that you can download.
