## What is Tickaboo?

Tickaboo is a calm, playful visual timer made for little ones.

Instead of a ticking clock, your child sees a picture they love slowly reveal as the minutes pass - a puppy, a rainbow, a favourite sticker. When the timer ends, the picture is fully revealed. No tantrums about "how much longer?" - just gentle anticipation.

Perfect for…
• Brushing teeth
• Bath time
• Screen time
• Quiet time
• Until pickup, until dinner, until anything

FEATURES
• Upload any picture - drag and pinch to position
• Three reveal styles: clockwise pie, sand drain, pixel reveal
• Four themes: cream, mint, lavender, dusk
• Six cover colors
• Gentle endings: chime, pulsing glow, confetti, balloons, or silent
• Quick presets (1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30 min) or set it down to the second
• Custom timer labels
• Pause, resume, reset, and add-a-minute (for the negotiations...)
• Works offline. No accounts. No ads. No tracking.

Tickaboo is made by parents, for parents. Soft, cozy, and stays out of your way.
