AutoLogout 0.9.1 by Yiays is a lightweight Windows utility designed to enforce time-based access control on PCs, giving parents, administrators, or shared-computer environments a straightforward way to impose daily usage limits and scheduled downtime without altering system accounts or Group Policy. The program runs discreetly in the background, monitors active session time, and automatically logs the current user off or locks the workstation when the configured quota is reached; an optional grace period can warn users before the action occurs. Although operation is fully autonomous once rules are set, the same interface can be opened locally or operated from a companion mobile app that connects over the local network, letting caretakers adjust allowances, extend sessions, or invoke immediate lockdown without physically approaching the machine. Because all timing data and profiles are cached on the host, AutoLogout continues to observe limits even if the network or remote controller is unavailable, making it equally suitable for offline laptops. Typical deployment scenarios include family PCs, school computer labs, library kiosks, and office hot-desks where fair access or enforced breaks are desired. The software belongs to the “Parental Control / Time Limit” category, integrates with any Windows edition from 7 onward, and stores its settings in a portable INI file for easy backup or multi-machine replication. Version 0.9.1, the first public release, already supports separate weekday and weekend schedules, exempt local administrator accounts, and a silent installer switch for mass rollout. AutoLogout is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
