Say goodbye to saying "Hurry up!" every day! Welcome to "Family Habit Hero," the habit-building app that makes kids actually want to take action! Getting dressed, brushing teeth, cleaning up... It's easy to get frustrated when kids won't do their chores. This app was born for parents struggling with these everyday challenges. We transform boring routines into exciting "quests," motivating children through fun rather than scolding. 4 Unique Features 1. Daily "Promises" Become Fun Games! Tasks set by parents become "quests." Name them freely, like "Breakfast" or "Brush teeth." Hit start, and a timer begins with cute characters and upbeat music! The thrill of beating the clock turns on your child's motivation. 2. Clear 1 Promise, Play 1 Mini-Game! [NEW] For every "Promise" (quest) your child clears, they earn a ticket to play a fun mini-game! The cycle of "I want to play the game, so I'll get dressed quickly!" creates the ultimate motivation for your child to take action on their own. 3. Create a Custom Miniature World Kids can create their own "world" as a reward. By clearing quests, they save points to exchange for shop items. Abundant Items: Houses, cars, animals, dinosaurs, and even space rockets! Free Avatars: Change clothes and create a lookalike character. Infinite Creativity: Place items freely to build a city, forest, or space base. 4. Drawing & Stamps [NEW] Draw freely with your finger on your custom world! Decorate with cute stamps to create a unique masterpiece. "I'll wake up early to get that dinosaur!" Conversations like this will naturally happen. Safe Design: Play Immediately No complex registration or personal info is needed. Start daily quests immediately after downloading. Recommended for Families Who: Have children aged 3 to 10. Are tired of yelling "Hurry up!" every morning. Struggle with kids putting off chores for games or YouTube. Have kids with ADHD/ASD who respond well to visual timers and clear rewards. Have kids who love sandbox games (like Minecraft), blocks, or drawing. Want siblings to build good habits together. How to Play 【1. Parent Mode】 Register the habits you want your child to learn (e.g., "Get Dressed" - 10 mins). Set them freely according to your rules. The settings screen is protected by a math-lock (parental gate). 【2. Child Mode】 Kids select a task and tap "Start." Characters cheer them on! When finished, press "Done!". Beating the timer might trigger a roulette for double points! Plus, they will earn one mini-game ticket! 【3. Fun Mini-Games】 Use the earned tickets to challenge exciting mini-games! These simple yet highly engaging action games will serve as a great motivation to keep up with daily habits. 【4. Reward Shop & World Creation】 Shop with saved points! Place items in your world, draw, and enjoy city-building. Share the completed world as an image with grandparents. Message from the Developer Hello! I'm the developer of this app. As a parent, I hated getting angry at my kids daily, yelling "Hurry up!" I wondered, "How can I get them moving without nagging?" That's why I created this app. Children are geniuses at "play." When chores become a game, they do them happily. Seeing their hard work take shape as their own expanding world builds their self-confidence. I hope to increase the smiles in every home. If you enjoy it, please support us with a review! FAQ Q. What age is this for? A. Intuitive design makes it fun for kids from age 3. It's also highly effective for elementary schoolers. Q. Can siblings use it? A. Yes, multiple "Promises" can be managed on one device. Currently, world/avatar save data is shared. Q. Can we play offline? A. Yes, it works offline (except for updates), making it great for on-the-go or airplane mode. Let's begin the adventure! No more "Hurry up!" Enjoy days filled with "We did it!" Download now and open the door to adventure! Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Mieru Timer is a visual support timer for children that can be used at home, in preschool, in school, and in other educational or support settings. Because time cannot be seen, phrases such as “5 more minutes” or “It’s almost time to finish” may not always make it easy for children to understand how much time is left. With Mieru Timer, remaining time can be shown in a variety of ways, including a circle, a bar, numbers, pictures, and puzzles. Different children understand time in different ways. “Numbers are easiest for me to understand.” “It’s easier when I can see something gradually getting smaller.” “Changes in pictures help me understand what will happen next.” “Puzzle-style changes make checking the time more fun.” One of the main features of Mieru Timer is that you can choose the way time is displayed to suit each child. You can select a display style that is easy for your child to understand based on their age, developmental stage, and the activity they are doing. 5 Visual Timer Styles Circle Display See time decrease visually in a circle. Bar Display See the remaining time through the length of a bar. Number Display Check the remaining time clearly with numbers. Picture Display Watch pictures change as time passes. Puzzle Display Experience the passage of time through changing puzzle pieces. Even when the amount of time is the same, changing how it is shown can make it easier to communicate in a way that works for each child. Useful in Everyday Situations Mieru Timer can be used in many everyday situations, including: Morning routines Getting dressed and cleaning up Mealtimes Brushing teeth Homework and study time Reading time Ending games or videos Waiting before going out Waiting until bath time Transitioning from one activity to another Break time Time management in preschool or class Instead of only saying, “5 more minutes,” you can look at the remaining time together. This can help children understand what is coming next and prepare for transitions. More Than Just a Timer Mieru Timer also includes: Stopwatch Interval Timer Clock These tools can be used for exercise, studying, repeated activities, practicing how to read time, and more. For Home, Preschool, School, and Support Settings Mieru Timer can be used not only at home, but also in places such as: Preschools Kindergartens Early childhood education settings Elementary schools Special education settings Developmental support settings After-school support programs It is not only a timer for adults to manage time. It can also be used as a tool for children to check for themselves, “How much longer?” Make Time Visible, Not Just Verbal “How much longer?” “When will it be finished?” “Is it time yet?” Mieru Timer helps make questions about time easier to understand by showing the answer visually, not only with words. It supports children in understanding how much time is left, anticipating what comes next, waiting, and transitioning between activities. Choose the way of “seeing time” that works best for your child. That is Mieru Timer.
