App Limits App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Daily Time Caps, Per-App Sliders & App 限额 zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS app already sells Apple Screen Time App Limits — per-app or per-category daily and weekly time caps under Settings → Screen Time → App Limits, with Time Limit sliders, App Limit badges, and gallery frames showing social-app caps, game limits, or category daily budgets with App 限额 / 应用限额 / 每日限额 / 使用时限 callouts.
Open the same app on the China storefront and parents still land on an English product page: name, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot captions that read "App Limits", "Time Limit", "App Limit", "Daily cap", or "Set a limit" in Latin script.
Configuring App Limits in iOS Settings does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your app markets daily caps and limit sliders, without conflating App Limits with Screen Time usage-report hubs, Downtime scheduled block windows, Always Allowed as a standalone story, Communication Limits, Content & Privacy Restrictions, Focus modes, Ask to Buy, or FamilyControls engineering.

Western indie iOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship or market an app whose buyers set App Limits — per-app daily caps, per-category weekly budgets, Time Limit sliders, or family limit dashboards on the product page
Market App Limits, Time Limit, App Limit, daily cap, category limit, or App 限额 / 应用限额 / 每日限额 / 使用时限 on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished limit-setting UX or parental cap workflows in the binary — not looking for FamilyControls authorization plumbing, ManagedSettings shield code, or DeviceActivity extension engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on App Limits gallery frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for Screen Time API integration, not a Downtime schedule consultant, not a designer to re-export every limit-slider screenshot from scratch
App Limits system behavior vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Screen Time parental controls cover storefront language. iOS Settings and App Store Connect actually separate App Limits enforcement from product-page copy:
App Limits (App 限额 / 应用限额) — daily or weekly time caps on individual apps or categories under Settings → Screen Time → App Limits. Time Limit sliders set how long an app or category can run before a limit reminder or block. Controls device behavior — does not generate Chinese listing text.
Per-app vs per-category caps — limit one social app, cap all Games, or budget Entertainment for the week. Listing copy may reference which limit type your gallery shows; configuring OS limit rules is outside AppLocale scope.
Time Limit slider UX — hour-and-minute pickers, "Add Limit" flows, and limit-reached reminders. Marketing frames often show slider wheels or daily budget badges — listing copy names the workflow; limit plumbing is outside Connect metadata scope.
Screen Time passcode — optional passcode to change App Limits settings. Mentioning passcode protection on screenshots is listing copy; passcode engineering stays in your binary.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of App Limits support in your app marketing.
Working App Limits-friendly workflows or limit-dashboard UX in the binary and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe App Limits sliders, daily caps, and category limits on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you configure Screen Time in Settings or implement FamilyControls in code.
The App Limits story on one product page — what buyers evaluate
Wellbeing and parental apps often lead with App Limits workflows on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:
Per-app daily cap (每日限额) — the core App Limits benefit. Gallery frames may show hour pickers on Instagram, TikTok, or game icons with "1 hour / day" badges.
Per-category weekly budget (应用类别限额) — phrasing when screenshots show Social, Games, or Entertainment category sliders with weekly time budgets.
Time Limit slider hero (使用时限) — when marketing frames emphasize the Screen Time limit picker UI — drag-to-set caps, "Add Limit" buttons, or limit-reached reminder art.
Family limit dashboard (家庭 App 限额) — when your gallery shows per-child caps, sibling limit comparisons, or parent-managed limit templates tied to App Limits workflows.
Your gallery may lead with a per-app slider on one frame and a category cap on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct workflow per frame — a Time Limit slider mockup is not a Downtime schedule picker, not a weekly usage chart, not a Focus mode profile sheet, and not Ask to Buy purchase approval unless that is what the screenshot shows.
App Limits listing copy is not Screen Time hub, Downtime, or Focus modes
Wellbeing apps blur several Apple screen-management surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — App Limits and daily-cap marketing on the product page:
App Limits & daily time caps (this page) — App Limits, Time Limit, App Limit, daily caps, category limits, limit sliders, and App 限额 / 应用限额 / 每日限额 / 使用时限 on gallery frames and in description paragraphs.
Screen Time hub & usage reports (different) — weekly charts, usage dashboards, and general 屏幕使用时间 positioning. See Screen Time listing guide — not App Limits sliders alone.
Downtime & scheduled block windows (different) — nightly phone locks, bedtime schedules, and 停用时间 block windows. See Downtime listing guide — App Limits cap daily usage; Downtime blocks apps during scheduled hours.
Focus modes & Sleep Focus (different) — notification silencing by Focus profile. See Focus modes listing guide — App Limits cap app usage; Focus modes filter notifications by context.
Communication Limits (different) — Messages contact limits for child accounts under Screen Time. Not App Limits slider copy unless your gallery shows both — match frame-by-frame.
Always Allowed (different) — apps and contacts that bypass Screen Time restrictions. Mention only when your screenshot shows Always Allowed exception lists — not as the lead story for this SKU.
Content & Privacy Restrictions (different) — age-rating and content-filter toggles under Screen Time. Not daily usage cap copy unless your gallery shows both — match frame-by-frame.
Your screenshots may show App Limits alongside Screen Time badges. Listing copy should name each claim accurately per frame — a Time Limit slider is not a Downtime schedule picker, not a Focus Filters home-screen overlay, and not a Screen Time weekly report card unless that is what the frame shows.
Apple system App Limits vs your app's limit-marketing — listing honesty
Apple ships App Limits as Screen Time caps on individual apps and categories. Third-party apps may complement system limits with family dashboards, limit reminders, or marketing that assumes daily cap workflows. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:
If your app complements system App Limits — zh-Hans copy can describe Works with App Limits badges, limit-reminder companions, or family cap dashboards your binary actually ships without claiming to replace iOS Settings App Limits unless your English listing already states that accurately.
If your app is a parental wellbeing product — description and screenshot overlays should name the limit story you ship (App 限额, 每日限额, 使用时限) in commerce-idiomatic Chinese, not generic "parental controls do everything" overclaims.
If your US page shows category limit hero art — zh-Hans copy should distinguish per-category caps from Downtime schedules or Focus mode profiles when your screenshots show each — matching what buyers will recognize after setup.
If your US page overclaims — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not invent broader App Limits scope than your screenshots and description support.
Clear zh-Hans copy helps parents and wellbeing buyers understand whether your app supports App Limits sliders and daily cap workflows before install. It does not replace App Limits configuration in Settings, Screen Time passcode setup, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not certify limit enforcement behavior in the app.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans App Limits copy is missing
Wellbeing apps often lead marketing screenshots with Time Limit sliders, daily cap pickers, category limit layouts, or App Limit badges — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside limit UI:
Description paragraphs — English value props about capping social apps, limiting game time, or family daily budgets that China parents skim past
Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for App 限额, App限额, 应用限额, 每日限额, or 使用时限 when buyers filter for wellbeing and parental apps
Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching App Limits in English above the description
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but App Limits screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 that conflates App 限额 with Downtime (停用时间), Focus modes (专注模式), or Screen Time usage reports (使用时间报告) on store pages
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps parents and wellbeing buyers who browse the China App Store understand your App Limits story before install. It does not replace Screen Time configuration, App Limits Settings toggles, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not guarantee limit enforcement behavior in the app.
What AppLocale delivers for App Limits apps on zh-Hans
This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to App Limits and daily-cap marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:
Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal daily-cap or App Limits value to China searchers
Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference App Limits or daily caps without stuffing raw English badge text
Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for App 限额, App限额, 应用限额, 每日限额, 使用时限, and limit-focused wellbeing apps in your category
Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on App Limits workflows you already ship — without English-only "App Limits" jargon
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show App Limits setup, Time Limit sliders, daily cap pickers, category limit badges, or App 限额 callouts
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on App Limits promises
We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions App Limits, Time Limit, App Limit, daily cap, category limit, or limit slider — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent App Limits features your app does not ship.
App Limits-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently
Daily-cap marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general wellbeing guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe App Limits workflows — not a literal paste of US marketing:
App 限额 vs 应用限额 vs 每日限额
Apple's Chinese UI commonly uses App 限额 or 应用限额 for the App Limits feature name under Screen Time settings. 每日限额 fits when screenshots emphasize daily time budgets on specific apps. 使用时限 works when marketing frames show Time Limit slider UI rather than the Settings feature label. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual marketing scope and avoids conflating App Limits with Downtime block windows or Screen Time usage reports.
App Limits vs Downtime phrasing
App Limits cap how long apps run over hours and days — buyers searching for daily social-app caps distinguish this from Downtime (停用时间) scheduled block windows and bedtime locks. Match what your English listing and screenshots actually show.
App 限额 vs 屏幕使用时间 — per-app cap vs Screen Time hub
Apple's Chinese UI uses App 限额 for App Limits under Screen Time and 屏幕使用时间 for the Screen Time settings hub and usage dashboards. Listing copy should pick the term buyers recognize on screenshots — a Time Limit slider frame needs App 限额-friendly phrasing; a weekly usage chart frame belongs on the Screen Time guide, not here.
Per-app vs per-category limits
App Limits can target one app (e.g. cap TikTok at 1 hour) or an entire category (e.g. limit all Games to 90 minutes daily). Use the term your screenshot actually shows — mixing per-app and per-category vocabulary confuses buyers comparing your listing to iOS Settings labels.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need App Limits-relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like App 限额, 应用限额, 每日限额, and 使用时限 each signal different intent from Downtime, Focus mode, or generic parental-control keywords.
Caption lines vs burned-in badges
Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Set App Limit" headlines on gallery frames — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.
What good zh-Hans App Limits listing copy looks like
Daily-cap and App Limits copy appears on screenshot galleries and in description skims. Strong Chinese strings lead with the benefit and state scope plainly — paste-ready examples for Connect fields:
Subtitle (example) — 每日 App 限额，自控更省心 — daily App Limits benefit within the ~30-character cap
Keywords (example) — App限额,应用限额,每日限额 — only when accurate to your feature set
Screenshot overlay (example) — 一键设置 App 限额 — Time Limit or App Limit hero frame with clear benefit line
Description paragraph (example) — plain zh-Hans list of App Limits workflows you ship — per-app sliders, category caps, limit reminders — matching what you actually implemented
Honest scope — do not claim full iOS App Limits replacement in Chinese if your app only ships passive usage charts without limit-slider marketing
zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying App Limits story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.
Before / after — App Limits listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)
Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not generic Screen Time hub or Downtime copy:
Description line — Before: Set App Limits on social apps and games — cap daily screen time with one slider. → After: 为社交 App 和游戏设置 App 限额 — 一个滑块即可限制每日屏幕使用时间。
Screenshot caption — Before: Set a Time Limit on any app → After: 为任意 App 设置使用时限
Literal "App Limits" → awkward transliteration instead of commerce-idiomatic App 限额 or buyer-friendly 每日限额
Generic "Parental controls" → 家长控制 (too broad) instead of App 限额 or 使用时限 when accurate
English badge headlines preserved on zh-Hans screenshots — "Time Limit" with no Chinese benefit line beside it
Overlay text overflow — long English daily-cap captions pasted into short screenshot callout zones truncate on device
Conflating App 限额 with 停用时间 — App Limits are daily usage caps; Downtime is a scheduled block window — different buyer intent and keywords
Conflating App 限额 with 专注模式 — App Limits cap app usage; Focus modes filter notifications — different frames
Conflating daily caps with Screen Time reports — usage charts show history; App Limits sliders set future caps unless your listing shows both
Inconsistent vocabulary between listing description, promotional text, and screenshot captions when all three mention App Limits or daily caps
Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished App Limits strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what daily-cap workflows you ship — while keeping accurate scope. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.

AppLocale FAQ
Does AppLocale configure App Limits or implement Screen Time shields?
No. We deliver Connect listing metadata copy only — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot caption lines. App Limits Settings toggles, Screen Time passcode setup, and FamilyControls / ManagedSettings engineering are outside scope.
How is App Limits listing copy different from Screen Time hub copy?
Screen Time hub covers usage dashboards, weekly reports, and general 屏幕使用时间 marketing. App Limits covers per-app and per-category daily and weekly time caps under Settings → Screen Time → App Limits — see the Screen Time listing guide for broader usage-management scope.
How is this different from Downtime or Focus modes?
Downtime blocks most apps during a scheduled window — not daily usage caps. Focus modes and Sleep Focus silence notifications by profile — not App Limits sliders. See the Downtime listing guide for scheduled block-window scope and the Focus modes listing guide for notification-profile scope.
Should my zh-Hans listing claim App Limits when we only market usage reports?
No — unless your English listing and screenshots actually show App Limits sliders, Time Limit pickers, or daily cap setup. AppLocale rewrites from your source claims — we do not invent App Limits promises your gallery does not support.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines that mention App Limits, Time Limit, App Limit, or daily caps (with frame order noted), which App Limits workflows your app ships, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Does localizing my listing change App Limits behavior on a device?
No. App Limits rules, Time Limit sliders, and cap enforcement come from iOS Settings and system Screen Time — not Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.
Will zh-Hans App Limits copy improve China rankings?
We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps buyers who already find your page understand daily-cap and App Limits value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
