# Motivation I was furious by my 3-year-old son's innocent look after my warning to take away his food if he can't finish it within 10 minutes, an hour and a half ago. There's gotta be a way to let him know that 10 minutes is not that long. TimeTime was born that night, out of a mixed feeling of anger and love. I use the app daily ever since because it is working like a charm. No yelling and screaming. He knows exactly what I am talking about. # Beyond Small Kids TimeTime is a simple countdown timer that tries to visualize time's elapsing in the most intuitive ways. Since its original target audience was a 3-year-old boy, simplicity is in the blood of the design. Over time, I found it is often useful to my older kids for various purposes where a clear grasp of the progression of time is needed. I used it in certain workout sessions. Seeing the progress straightaway really motivates me at tough times. # Features - Create, edit, delete timers, with customized tile colour, icon and name. - Customizable countdown faces (currently support 3 flavours: cylinder, pie and ring, more to come shortly, because it's fun). - all data are synced via iCloud, meaning all your personal preferences are synced across all your iOS devices. - we collect NOTHING. It's all yours. Hopefully, it can be helpful to you. Enjoy.
