Kids Timer by Kiddo vs Calm Countdown Timer

With Kiddo, you can define the routines you adopt with your children. A child with a good routine gives him a sense of security and independence. During the routines, some of your child's basic needs are met. You can share the time left for each activity. No more meltdowns at the end of a play session or at the end of a bath. Routines reassure children that they know what will happen and for how long. It also helps develop the child's autonomy, the parent starts the routine/timer and the app rings at the end of the activity, the child knows he/she has to stop independently. For a good routine, be consistent, make sure to repeat it as often as possible and keep things simple. Be sure to involve the child in the process.
