About this app

Ending screen time without a meltdown. Getting through tooth-brushing. Sitting through a time-out. Koala Countdown turns the hard waits into something a toddler can actually watch happen.

BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE, BY DESIGN
One screen to set the time. One tap to start. That's it. No menus to get lost in, no distractions, nothing a toddler can accidentally break.

A FRIEND WAITING AT THE END
Choose from a whole cast of 21 adorable characters, including a koala, a puppy, a kangaroo, a giraffe, a rabbit, a robot, a friendly dinosaur, diggers, dump trucks and more, each with their own joyful little celebration when time's up. Press and hold a friend to make them a favourite, so they're first next time.

JUST PLAY
Want to watch a celebration without setting a timer? Just play mode lets a child call up any friend's celebration on the spot, with a Play again button to watch it as many times as they like.

A CALM, CLEAR COUNTDOWN
A big, friendly ring gently empties as the minutes pass and the colours soften, so even children who can't yet read a clock can see how much time is left.

CALM TOGETHER
For the moments when a child needs a grown-up beside them, switch to Calm together and breathe along with Koala while the ring gently empties.

MADE FOR PARENTS TO TRUST
A hold-to-unlock parent control keeps little fingers from ending the timer early, or lets you add a minute when you need to. The app locks to portrait, hides the status bar, and stays on the one task. If you set a timer, you'll want to hear it end, so the celebration plays even with your phone on silent. The volume buttons still control how loud it is.

PRIVATE AND SAFE, ALWAYS
Koala Countdown collects no data of any kind. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and no internet required. What happens on the device stays on the device. Try it free, then a single one-time purchase (Full unlock) removes the trial limit forever. No subscription.

GREAT FOR
Calm-down moments and quiet time
Ending screen time without the meltdown
Taking turns and sharing
Bedtime wind-down
Tooth-brushing and potty timers
Waiting in the car or in a queue

Set it, hand it over, and let a friendly face do the rest.

What’s new

Fixed: the grown-ups "press and hold" button now works reliably on every phone, including with larger text sizes. Thanks to the families who let us know.
