About this app

Dinner Pals is a visual timer for kids and toddlers that turns dinner, brushing teeth, bath time, tidy up, homework and even road trips into something they'll actually watch. A friendly pal slowly fills with colour as time runs down — so little kids can SEE time passing instead of being nagged.

Young children can't read clocks, and "ten more minutes" means nothing. A visual countdown timer makes time concrete — which is why visual timers are used in classrooms and by occupational therapists, and why parents of kids with ADHD or autism often find them life-changing for transitions.

ONE TIMER FOR EVERY ROUTINE
🍽 Dinner time — a meal timer that ends the "one more bite" battle
🪥 Sparkle time — a 2-minute toothbrush timer that makes brushing teeth fun
🛁 Bath & shower time — a gentle bath timer for the whole routine
🧹 Tidy up time — a clean-up and chore timer that beats the packing-up meltdown
📚 Homework time — a calm study timer that helps them focus
🚗 Road trip — a little car drives the route, so "are we there yet?" answers itself
⭐ CUSTOM TIMERS — build your own! Name it, pick exactly which pals appear, and set any time. Reading time, piano practice, screen-time turns — yours.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick what you're doing and wind up the dial — or tap to type an exact time
2. Your child picks their pal
3. The pal fills with colour as the minutes pass — half the time gone, half full
4. Full pal = all done. Sparkles, confetti and a happy cheer!
