Montessori Visual Timer

Help children understand time in a calm, visual way.

Montessori Visual Timer is a simple, distraction-free timer designed for kids and their parents, teachers, and therapists. Instead of numbers counting down, children see time pass visually, making it easier to understand routines, transitions, and waiting periods.

Inspired by Montessori principles, the app focuses on independence, clarity, and calm environments—perfect for home, classrooms, and therapy settings.

Features

• Visual countdown: kids watch the colored slice shrink as time passes
• PIN lock: lock the controls so the timer keeps running, with optional auto-lock when a timer starts
• Quick Timers: save your usual durations (teeth, tidy-up, reading) for one-tap starts
• Set timers from a few seconds up to 60 minutes
• The screen stays on while a timer runs, so the clock is always visible (you can turn this off)
• Works in portrait and landscape, on phone and tablet
• Gentle sound when time is up, with two tones to choose from
• No ads, no accounts

Helpful for routines and transitions at home, in Montessori and preschool classrooms, and for children who benefit from seeing time, including many kids with ADHD or autism.
