This app is for parents who want to spend quality, quiet time with their children. It's a fun way to practice being quiet with your child just by setting the clock-timer. With this app, voice levels are measured simultaneously by the microphone function of the iPhone/iPad. If the volume of your child's voice exceeds the limit that you pre-set, it will wake up a scary dog and the dog starts barking. But don't worry, soon after the dog, a cute little girl will show up on its screen and cheer your kids up. 【 Supported devices: microphone required, iOS 6 or later 】 iPhone 4S or later, iPad 2 or later, iPod Touch 4th generation or later * Both iPhone and iPad support (Universal) 【 Usage example 】 When your kids are making loud noise at home and/or in public places, scolding them can sometimes cause more problems that it solves. With this app, keeping the sleeping dog from waking up can make quiet time fun for your kids! You can then, instead of scolding, praise the kids for doing well. 【 Features 】 • You can pre-set the timer from seconds to minutes, or time-free mode. • You can change its voice limit depending on the environment, e.g., outside or in the house. • You can check the history of your challenge in graph form after the end of each session. • The following options are also available. - Immediate Termination: A session will terminate immediately after the volume of the child's voice exceeds the limit. - Auto Retry: The next session will automatically restart from the beginning after the immediate termination, and kids can try it until they make it. - Sounds on/off. - Voice Narration on/off 【 For children with developmental disorders 】 Children with developmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ADHD can often make repetitive vocal sounds known as Vocal Stimming or repetitive clapping. That can be disruptive in their day lives and may hinder their learning. With this app, children in the spectrum can practice controlling their voices/clapping effectively. This app can also be used as their time-aid because it's easy to check the remaining time of the session visually through the clock-timer. 【 Precautions for use 】 • Recommended for ages 4-12 • Younger children should use it together with their parents. • In order to prevent children terminating a session by mistake, the stop button (back button) hides off screen. It will reappear when you tap the upper part of your iPhone/iPad screen. • By adjusting the voice level, the app can be used in slightly noisier environments. However, it is difficult to use in very loud places. • Since this app is a training support tool, children will not necessarily become quiet immediately. Moreover, this may not work for all children. • Since power-saving mode is turned off during a session, it is recommended that your iPhone/iPad be connected to a charger for long time usage. 【 PRIVACY POLICY 】 This app: - Does not contain ads - Does not contain in-app purchases - Does not contain social media integration - Does contain links to Keaton.com's apps and official web site - Does not use analytics or data collection tools This app contains Parental Gate that restricts your kids from accessing a parents section (includes Keaton.com's More Apps and official web site).

Walk in real life to earn dice that move the game forward. Roll them to make the hero, Tamaya, walk. As Tamaya walks, things happen that make people smile and bring people together, and the "Liveliness" level goes up. Reach the "Liveliness" goal set for each area to clear it. Clear every area and help move the capital to Heian-kyo! You can also collect the fireworks, which bloom in the sky as "flowers of light" whenever Tamaya brings liveliness and new encounters! Super easy to play: just tap to move ahead. A simulation board game anyone can enjoy! Also recommended for seniors and anyone who isn't used to playing games. Note: In the United States, Heian Walk requires iOS 26.2 or later. THE TALE OF TAMAYA Tamaya was fifteen. Until just three days ago, he had lived alone in the mountains with an old man. He had lived that way for as long as he could remember, and so he knew nothing of where he had been born, whether he had parents, or whether he had a family at all. He had never even thought to ask. Now and then, people from the village at the foot of the mountain would climb up to see him, calling him "the Sage" and asking for his wisdom. Tamaya, though, simply called him Master. When Master's life was drawing to its end, he sat Tamaya down and spoke to him. "Tamaya. You must leave this mountain and go down to the capital. And once you're there, you must bring more and more people together — make the whole city come alive! "How, you ask? It's simple. Just walk, with all the energy you have, and people will start to gather around you from every direction, until the whole town is bursting with life. And once a town comes alive, people can't help wanting to be there. Do you see? People draw people, and that brings even more life to the place. "Liveliness — that is what the capital needs most. It may sound strange to you, but you have the power to call it forth. It's already inside you, so don't be afraid. "The harder you walk, the more you'll cross paths with others — joyful meetings, fun ones, strange and wonderful ones too. And whenever you call that liveliness, whenever those meetings come to pass, I will bloom 'flowers of light' across the sky for you. "People will look up and see those 'flowers of light,' and they'll cheer, and that will make them even happier, even more alive. "Now go, Tamaya. Wherever you walk, I will always be with you." With that, Master placed his own staff in Tamaya's hands. Something rose up in Tamaya's chest, filling him until he could hardly breathe. It wasn't sorrow — it was the strength Master had given him, and a strength of his own rising up from somewhere deep inside, strong enough to make him tremble. And so began Tamaya's pilgrimage.
