KidsPlaner vs Kids Visual Countdown Timer

KidsPlaner is the app for parents who want to stay on top of their children's school days. Enter the timetable once — after that it lives on your Home Screen, in Siri, and in an overview of the whole school year. A PLAN FOR EVERY CHILD • A profile per child, with its own colour, its own periods and its own subjects. • Individual times per child, breaks included — handy when the schools run on different bells. • Switch between children with a tap. • Everything about a child in one place: timetable, subjects, holidays and events. NOW AND NEXT • The lesson in progress and what follows it. • Tomorrow's schedule the evening before. • If tomorrow is free, you will know today. • So you know at bag-packing time whether it is a PE or an instrument day. WIDGETS ON THE HOME SCREEN • Timetable widget in three sizes: current lesson, the next few lessons, or the whole day. • School year widget: every month side by side, with holidays, public holidays and events. • Each widget can be set to a different child. • So the plan is there without opening the app. HOLIDAYS AND EVENTS • Enter school holidays and days off • Field trips, parents' evenings, sports days: anything that is not a lesson. • Holidays are set per child, useful when your kids attend different schools. • Pull holidays and events out of a calendar you already subscribe to (KidsPlaner Pro). THE SCHOOL YEAR AT A GLANCE • A school year view, with holidays, public holidays and events marked. • Page through it a month at a time without losing the overview. • So you can see the next days off. SIRI AND SPOTLIGHT • "What's next in KidsPlaner?" — Siri answers without you opening the app (requires Siri AI) • Five shortcuts: next lesson, today, any day, next event, holidays. • Find subjects and events from Spotlight, if you allow it. PLANNING TOGETHER • Share a child's plan with a second iCloud account, reading only or editing too (KidsPlaner Pro). • Whoever accepts an invitation does not need Pro themselves. ON IPHONE AND IPAD • Built for both. • Kept in sync across your devices through iCloud. • Works offline — the timetable is always there. KIDSPLANER PRO KidsPlaner is free. Every child, timetable, subject, holiday, event, widget, Siri shortcut and the school year view are included, with no limits and no purchase. Two features are part of KidsPlaner Pro, an in-app purchase: • Share a child's timetable with a second iCloud account. • Import holidays and events from the device calendar. One purchase, no subscription, shared through Family Sharing. Holidays and events can also be entered by hand without Pro.

Transform daily struggles into calm routines. A visual countdown timer that helps toddlers, students, and neurodivergent kids understand time without tantrums or tears. Kids don’t understand time. Telling a toddler or an ADHD-brained child they have "five more minutes" means nothing to them—until they can actually see it slipping away. Kids Timer Visual Countdown bridges the gap between adult schedules and a child’s brain. By turning abstract time into a clear, visual shape that shrinks as time passes, you eliminate the anxiety, arguments, and power struggles that come with daily transitions. Whether you're trying to get them out the door for school, enforce screen-time limits, or help them focus on homework, this timer acts as a neutral third party. It’s no longer you telling them time is up; it’s the timer. PERFECT FOR DAILY ROUTINES • Morning Rush: Getting dressed, eating breakfast, and getting out the door without nagging. • Screen Time: Clear, visual boundaries for when the TV or tablet turns off. • Bedtime: Gentle wind-down routines so kids know exactly when it's time for sleep. • Hygiene: 2-minute tooth brushing or potty training intervals. • Homework & Study: A kid-friendly Pomodoro focus timer to break tasks into manageable chunks. WHY IT WORKS FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS Children—especially those with ADHD, Autism (ASD), or executive dysfunction—process visual information far better than auditory commands. As the visual countdown shrinks, kids intuitively grasp the concept of "elapsed time." This reduces transition anxiety and empowers them to manage their own routines independently. KEY FEATURES • Distraction-Free Interface: Clean, high-contrast visuals without the overwhelming clutter or gamification that distracts from the actual task. • Customizable Durations: Set any countdown from a quick 1-minute chore to a 60-minute study session. • Gentle Transitions: Soothing, non-jarring alarms when time is up to prevent sensory overload. • Quick Presets: Save your most frequently used timers for daily chores, reading, and playtime. Stop fighting over the clock. Give your child the visual tools they need to understand time, build focus, and master their daily routines. Have questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you!
