Mommy Meter is the calm voice in your pocket when you need space. The meter turns your need for quiet into a visual kids immediately understand. Tap the "Mommy" button and make the need for quiet time into a game kids easily understand. Clicking the "Mommy" button reduces the number of "Mommies" remaining and a timer shows how long the "Mommy" needs to recharge. You can also share a warm, ready-to-use script that explains what you need, why it matters, or what kids can do while they wait. Children learn to respect your boundaries without feeling pushed away; you stay regulated and let go of the guilt. The Mommy Meter is customizable for any one to use and you can easily change the title from "Mommy" to whatever you may prefer! Use Mommy Meter during work-from-home calls, while cooking or cleaning, when decompressing after errands, or anytime you need a few minutes to finish a task or reset. Each prompt starts with empathy, then offers concrete options kids can choose: set a timer, pick a quiet activity, help with one small job, or save their story for when the "Mommy" recharged. With consistent language and simple visuals, you model respectful communication and self-regulation. Kids feel seen and safe, and you get the focus time or breather you need to show up with kindness when you reconnect. Mommy Meter keeps everyone on the same page—no snapping, no shame, just clear expectations and calm follow-through. - Ask for space without feeling harsh or dismissive - Keep boundaries steady during work, chores, rest, or recovery - Teach kids to read cues and respect time while staying connected - Reduce interruptions and stress with calm, repeatable language FEATURES - Color-coded meter that shows when you need space, focus, or are ready to reconnect - Ready-to-say scripts for asking for quiet time, finishing a task, or taking a short break - Kid-friendly explanations so they know what to do while they wait (timer, quiet play, helper jobs) - Gentle phrasing that removes guilt and keeps connection intact - Quick-access prompts for the everyday moments you repeat most Free: - Mommy Meter with default settings Paid:  - Full script library - Customizable Mommy Meter - Customize title (Mommy, Daddy, Mama, Papa, etc.) Subscription: $1.99/Month Lifetime: $4.99 For support, please contact us at MOMMYMETER@STEMOVATE.COM Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://mommymeter.com/privacy/
