Features & Capabilities

Tired of nagging your kids to get ready? Asking them 10 times to put away their toys? The Lickety Split Musical Timer turns daily tasks into a fun, beat-the-clock game. Accelerating classical music encourages dawdling kids to get going, while an animated hourglass counts down. The abstract concept of time becomes tangible for kids.

The timer uses encouragement and the power of music to motivate children as they move through daily transitions. So, instead of nagging, grown-ups are free to champion their kids!

Ready to leave the house in 5 minutes
Getting dressed
Getting ready for a meal
Cleaning one's room
Making one's bed
Brushing teeth (for a full two minutes)
Taking turns
Study Quietly

In app purchase upgrade allows you to have additional timers or select a song from your library to create your own timer of any length!

User Reviews

Users praise Lickety Split for motivating kids (notably with ADHD) and making routines fun with visuals, music, and rewards. It works across tasks like bedtime, brushing, and cleaning, and can reduce parental effort. Common concerns include paywalls restricting customization, occasional crashes and freezes, and UX/design quirks such as mandatory intros and limited per-timer customization. Overall, it’s valued as a long‑term, versatile parenting aid when the needed customization is available.

Pros

Highly motivating for kids, especially those with ADHD; kids love it and it helps them focus.
Engaging visual rewards and music (visual timer, 'I did it' button, rewards) that boost participation.
Versatile across many routines (bedtime, brushing teeth, getting dressed, cleaning) and suitable for family use.
Reduces parent battles and speeds up routines, making chores or tasks feel doable.
Long-term reliability and continued use over years, with families incorporating it into daily life.

Cons

Paywall limits customization; upgrading is required to set custom timer durations or use certain features.
Technical glitches and instability (crashes when selecting a song; timer can freeze after finishing).
UX limitations (forced introduction each time; no quick way to quit; difficulty bypassing intro; lack of per-timer customization or chaining multiple events).
Customization gaps (no per-timer durations, no easy multi-step or chained events; users want more granular control).
