Tranzit: Screen Time Timer

The screen time transition timer built for kids with ADHD and time blindness. Progressive voice and color warnings replace the abrupt endings that can trigger meltdowns.

You say "five more minutes." They nod. The timer hits zero. The screen goes dark. And somehow — every single time — it's a surprise. The negotiating starts. The meltdown follows. And you end up the villain again.

It's not defiance. For kids with ADHD, time blindness is real — their brain genuinely doesn't feel minutes passing. An abrupt ending doesn't feel like a timer running out. It feels like an ambush.

That's what Tranzit is built for.

HOW IT WORKS Tranzit runs on a separate iPhone or iPad — a companion device that sits next to your kid while they play or watch. Pick a screen time length, optionally pick what your kid’s transitioning to next, and tap start. From that moment on, Tranzit quietly does the work of making "time's up" stop being a surprise:

• A calm voice announces checkpoints ("ten minutes left… five minutes left…") • The screen shifts from green to yellow to red as the clock winds down • At zero, Tranzit announces the end and beeps until you cancel

Your kid's brain gets the runway it needs to land on its own — so by the time the screen goes dark, the transition has already happened.

WHO IT'S FOR Tranzit is designed for families with kids ages 6–12, where screen-time transitions are often hardest. Tranzit especially resonates with families affected by ADHD or time blindness — but plenty of neurotypical kids can benefit too.

WHAT YOU NEED • A spare iPhone or iPad (old ones work great) • Nothing else — Tranzit runs fully on-device, no internet required

WHAT YOU GET • Progressive voice warnings with multiple voice options • Green → yellow → orange → red screen that's visible from across the room • Biometric lock so the timer can't be cancelled mid-session by curious hands • One-time purchase — no subscription, no ads, no trackers • Private by design — your settings and session history stay on your device

A GENTLE NOTE Tranzit is a tool, not a replacement for parental judgment or professional advice. It's not a medical device. It's the scaffold a lot of families wish they'd had years ago — a structured hand-off that turns "time's up" from an ambush into a landing.

Tonight could be different.
