Toddler Timer
Less color, less time.
Less color, less time.
Toddler Timer is a simple visual timer for babies and toddlers who can't read a clock yet. You choose the time; your child sees a bar of soft color that slowly shrinks. When the color is gone, the time is up. Less color, less time.
When your 2-year-old asks “Is it time to go yet?” or “When is Grandma coming?”, minutes and clocks don't mean much. A bar of color that slowly disappears does: they can see for themselves how much waiting is left.
It's made for families who keep screens to a minimum, so it behaves more like a lamp or an hourglass than an app: nothing to watch, nothing to play with, nothing to tap.
Tap 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or type your own minutes and seconds and press Start. Put the phone or tablet where your child can see it. Tap the screen to pause; hold “Stop” for about 1.5 seconds to end early, so a curious toddler can't stop it by accident.
Small children understand “how much is left” better than numbers. The small time display in the corner is for you, and you can switch it off. A soft chime at the end is available but off by default.
Yes, in modern browsers (iPhone and iPad with iOS 16.4 or newer, Android Chrome, desktop Chrome and Edge). For long timers, plug the device in.
Yes. The timer follows the real clock, so when you come back the bar shows exactly how much time is left.
On iPhone or iPad: tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen”. On Android: open the browser menu and choose “Add to Home screen” or “Install app”. It then opens full-screen without browser bars.
Waiting and everyday transitions: “when the green is gone, we leave for the playground”, counting down until Grandma arrives, bedtime, taking turns with a toy, waiting for dinner, tidying up, or the end of play time.
