Are you a parent who wants to communicate with your children about activity times? With the free mobile app, you can connect it to the Pamplume clock, which provides real-time tracking on its physical dial. It also includes a very handy timer! Together, time becomes visual, and you receive reminders of activity times and routines displayed on the dial. Designed to meet the needs of parents and children, the app does not encourage screen time. It provides audio reminders to help keep track of habits more effectively. For children with ADHD, it is a valuable aid and meets the need for structure. THE CONCEPT OF TIME Your child may not know how to tell time or perceive the moments of their day. You can help by showing their activities on the clock face (tooth brushing time, reading time, etc.), they just need to follow the hour hand. But everyone can forget to look at the clock! Thatβs why Pamplume offers a very handy audio notification on your mobile to prompt your child to start a new task or activity. BUILDING A ROUTINE A routine is acquired through repetition, so you can schedule a daily app notification and select the days of the week. You can also set up multiple routines and choose which one to activate: Morning routine, holiday routine, weekend routine, for example. Itβs a tool you can take anywhere! EDUCATIONAL When a child cannot read the time, it is hard to grasp the concept of time. We encourage learning to read the clock through the clock and app support. Gradually, your child learns to associate images with the moments marked by the audio reminder, then with the numbers on the dial. INDEPENDENCE The Pamplume app encourages your child toward independence. They learn with pleasure and can understand the time of their routines on their own. FEATURES LIST - Manually schedule different routines for different days - Scan your clock, activities displayed on the dial will appear in the app! - Choose whether to notify tasks - Timer function - Pamplume Clock available on Amazon GOALS - Learn the concept of time with pleasure - Improve parent-child communication - Make daily life easier - Encourage and motivate the child toward independence - Help acquire good habits - Visualizing time helps organize better

Two ready-made routines, one for the morning and one for bedtime. Each step has its own length: getting dressed, breakfast, brushing teeth, packing the bag, then at night bath, pyjamas, brushing teeth, story. Tap a step and its countdown starts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magic Clock at none against Sabli's 1. Magic Clock also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Sabli's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
