Tickaboo is a calm, playful visual timer made for little ones. Instead of a ticking clock, your child sees a picture they love slowly reveal as the minutes pass - a puppy, a rainbow, a favourite sticker. When the timer ends, the picture is fully revealed. No tantrums about "how much longer?" - just gentle anticipation. Perfect for… • Brushing teeth • Bath time • Screen time • Quiet time • Until pickup, until dinner, until anything FEATURES • Upload any picture - drag and pinch to position • Three reveal styles: clockwise pie, sand drain, pixel reveal • Four themes: cream, mint, lavender, dusk • Six cover colors • Gentle endings: chime, pulsing glow, confetti, balloons, or silent • Quick presets (1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30 min) or set it down to the second • Custom timer labels • Pause, resume, reset, and add-a-minute (for the negotiations...) • Works offline. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Tickaboo is made by parents, for parents. Soft, cozy, and stays out of your way.
