Visual Timer for Kids - Kiddo

No numbers. No alarms. No meltdowns. Your toddler watches a friendly bubble shrink and simply knows when time's up. 100% private, ad-free, and works offline.

Help your toddler understand time without a single number. They watch a calm bubble shrink (or a friendly water bar fill), see exactly how much is left, and you celebrate together when it's done. No alarms. No anxiety. Just a gentle "we're finished, what's next?"

Kiddo is a visual countdown timer for toddlers and young kids who don't read clocks yet. Set it before bath, quiet time, screen time, or bedtime. Your child watches a big, friendly visual and intuitively feels how much time is left. When time's up, there's a joyful little celebration with confetti and a chime.

Calm by design

• Built around how young children actually understand time: through visuals and routine, not numbers.
• No jarring alarms, no countdown pressure, no stress. Just a smooth, predictable wind-down.
• Two timer styles: a Bubble that shrinks as time passes, or a Water Bar with a mascot riding a boat on top and submarines drifting below.

Designed with ADHD, autism & sensory needs in mind

• A gentle, predictable way to make abstract time concrete, especially for kids who experience time blindness or find transitions hard.
• No loud beeping or sudden alarms that can overwhelm sensitive kids. Choose a soft chime, fanfare, applause, or complete silence.
• A calm fit for morning and bedtime routines, focus and work time, screen-time limits, and moving smoothly between activities.
• Made with parents, occupational therapists, and special-education and preschool classrooms in mind.

Delightful for kids

• Seven hand-drawn mascots (llama, sloth, cat, dog, star, dino, and train), each with its own personality and gentle idle animations.
• Six warm color palettes: dusty teal, sage, mustard butter, terracotta, lavender, and peach.

Simple for parents

• Three quick-start presets (5, 10, 15 minutes). Rename them in Settings ("Bath time", "Quiet time", "Screen time").
• Custom durations and a Set Time mode: count down to 7:00 PM, not just "30 minutes from now".
• A local notification fires even when the app is in the background, so you never miss the chime.
• Press and hold anywhere to stop a running timer, parent-only, gated by a quick math puzzle.
• A Recent timers row remembers your setups for one-tap re-launch.

Private by design

• No accounts. No sign-up. No ads. No analytics. No tracking.
• Nothing ever leaves your device. The app collects zero data.
• Works fully offline.

Works everywhere

• iPhone and iPad: one universal app, one purchase.
• Light or dark mode. Kiddo always keeps its warm, friendly palette.

Kiddo is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, nothing to upgrade. Just a calm, beautiful timer your child will actually enjoy watching.
