About

Almostime

Features
Read full description

Almostime is a visual countdown timer designed specifically for toddlers aged 2-4. As a father of two young children, I realized that traditional timers are too abstract for toddlers. Children don't understand numbers — they need to SEE time passing. Almostime helps families set gentle time boundaries through intuitive visual cues. FEATURES: • Adorable animated themes (Car, Turtle, Pizza, Train, Dolphin, Rocket, Airplane, Moon) • Visual progress that children can understand • Sticker collection — Earn random stickers after each countdown! • Custom stickers — Turn your child's favorite photos into collectible stickers • Parent voice recording — Record your own encouraging words (up to 3 clips, 10 sec each) • multi users — Set up to 4 users, each has their own self-made stickers and stars collection progress • Simple one-tap operation • Dark mode support PERFECT FOR: • "5 more minutes of screen time" • "Brush your teeth until the car reaches the finish line" • "Time to leave the playground when the pizza is gone" STICKER REWARDS: Children love collecting! After each countdown, they earn a random sticker. Create custom stickers from family photos for an extra personal touch. It's a fun motivation system that turns waiting into a game. PARENT VOICE: Record your own voice messages — "Great job brushing your teeth!" or "Time's up, let's go!" Your familiar voice plays when the timer ends, making the transition smoother. No lectures. No stress. Just a friendly way to help little ones understand that time is almost up.
