LoopoMini turns your child's daily routine into a beautiful, color-coded clock they can actually understand. Instead of telling your child "we leave in 10 minutes" — they can see exactly where they are in the day, what's coming next, and how much time is left. Less negotiating. More calm. WHY PARENTS LOVE LOOPOMINI Visual clock face — color-coded segments for each activity make the schedule easy to read at a glance, even for pre-readers Now & Up Next — always shows the current activity and what's coming right after, so kids always know where they are in the day Full day timeline — a scrollable list of every activity with gaps clearly marked, so nothing feels like a surprise Day to night sky — the background shifts naturally from dawn to dusk to night, helping kids feel the rhythm of the day Gentle chimes — soft sounds mark transitions between activities (can be turned off) PIN lock — let kids view the schedule but not edit it Syncs across your devices — your schedule is automatically backed up and synced via iCloud, so it's always up to date on every device WORKS FOR EVERY FAMILY Set different schedules for weekdays and weekends. Add one-time events for special days. Works on iPhone and iPad in portrait and landscape — the clock scales beautifully to any screen size. No ads. No accounts. No personal data collected. Your schedule syncs privately across your own devices via iCloud — just a calm, clear routine your child can follow anywhere.
