Big friendly timers. One step at a time. No pressure. Routine Timer is a visual timer for kids and grown-ups who get stuck between steps. Morning, homework, cleanup, bedtime: any routine becomes a sequence of visual steps, each with its own full-screen timer. A big color ring shrinks as the minutes pass, and a gentle tap says it is time to move on. MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Build a routine from steps: an icon and a duration, nothing else to set up • One giant timer per step, readable from across the room • A haptic nudge on every transition, and a notification with sound when the screen is off • Pause, skip, go back or restart any step. No streaks, no guilt, no failure stats • Notifications keep the routine going while the phone is locked PERFECT FOR • Morning routine before school, bedtime routine after the bath • Homework blocks and focus sprints • Toddlers and preschoolers learning to get ready on their own • Kids with ADHD or autism who do better with a schedule they can see • Cleanup bursts, chores and screen-time limits WHY IT WORKS A child cannot feel ten minutes, but can see a color ring getting smaller. Steps take the arguing out of transitions: the timer says it is time, not the parent. Grown-ups use it the same way for their own mornings and work sprints. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. Works offline. SIMPLE PRICING Your first routine is free, full featured, forever: every step, sounds and notifications. One purchase unlocks unlimited routines. No subscription, nothing recurring. If you already unlocked the app, nothing changes for you.
