About this app

Tired of nagging your kids to get ready? Asking them 10 times to put away their toys?

The Lickety Split Musical Timer turns daily tasks into a fun, beat-the-clock game. Accelerating classical music encourages dawdling kids to get going, while an animated hourglass counts down. The abstract concept of time becomes tangible for kids.

The timer uses encouragement and the power of music to motivate children as they move through daily transitions. So, instead of nagging, grown-ups are free to champion their kids!

Developed by parents and educational technologists. Perfect for preschoolers, early elementary schoolers, and their grown-ups.

The lite version includes 4 classical music songs for common children's tasks. The full version includes 9 common tasks, as well as 4 custom time settings and the ability to use your own music.

Ratings and reviews

Looks a good app but I just want a timer so went to that part of the app and found the 1 minute timer counts down from 70 seconds and the 2 minute one counts down from 2 minutes and 20 seconds. I didn't continue with using this app beyond that.

I work with kids with autism and/or behavioral needs. Today, my little buddy was very noncompliant. This app got my buddy excited to follow directions. "Do you want to play beat the timer?" Her eyes would light up and she'd rush to do whatever it was and then ask to press the I did it button and see what prize she got! Saving my sanity 🙏 I just wish that the "my song" option would a) play a random snippet of song a specified length B) randomize song Also edit presets, customize colors

I just downloaded this and had to leave a comment ( I never leave comments) it's just so well done. I downloaded it for my kids, but I can see myself using it on a regular basis as well, especially as I can put my own music on. Thanks!
