## What is Red Wedge Timer?

A timer a child can read before they can read a clock.

Turn the dial to however long they have. A red disk fills that much of the hour,
and shrinks as the time runs out — so "ten more minutes" stops being an abstract
promise and becomes something visible, shrinking, on the table.

When the disk is gone, the timer sounds. You choose what it sounds like — beeps,
a chime, a cuckoo, marimba, a bell or a buzzer — and how long it keeps going: one
second, ten, a minute, or until somebody stops it. Or nothing at all, if the room
needs quiet.

• Drag the dial, or tap 1 to 60 minutes
• Six sounds, all generated by the app itself
• Nothing to sign up for, no account, no adverts, no tracking
• Works with the screen off

Made for getting a small person off a screen, into shoes, or through the last
stretch of homework without a countdown they cannot picture.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-29

While the app is open, it now rings with its own sound and no longer shows the system alarm badge. The real alarm, which rings on a locked phone and in silent mode, is set the moment you lock the phone or leave the app.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-28

The timer now rings like a real alarm: on a locked phone, in silent mode and through Focus, with the countdown on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. (iOS 26 and later; the app asks once for permission.)

### 1.0 — 2026-09-25

No release notes.
