MeloTimer: Routine Timer

About this app

A clock a child can read before they can read.

MeloTimer turns a morning into a ring of colour. Name the steps — breakfast, toilet, get dressed, shoes — give each one a length and a colour, then press play. The pie empties in real time, a sound cues each change, and nobody has to ask how much longer.

WRITE THE ROUTINE ONCE
Name each step, pick one of ten colours, set how long it takes, drag to reorder. A routine is yours for every weekday after that. Ready-made ones are there to start from: school morning, bedtime, homework with breaks, tidy-up time.

A CLOCK WITHOUT NUMBERS
Time left is an area, not a digit. The wedge shrinks, the hand sweeps, and the colours say which step is which. A child who cannot yet read a clock face can still see that the red part is nearly gone.

CUES, NOT ALARMS
Pick a sound and when it plays: at the start of a step, at its end, a set time after the start, or a minute before the end. The sounds do the nagging, so you don't have to.

IN THE NOTIFICATION, ON THE HOME SCREEN
The notification shows the current step and the time left, on the lock screen too, and a home-screen widget starts a routine with one tap. The routine keeps running if you leave the app.

DONE EARLY IS WORTH SOMETHING
Tap "Checked!" and the rest of the routine moves up. The minutes saved are kept and add up by week. Stopping a routine halfway counts for nothing — it is never dressed up as a win.

ENGLISH AND POLISH
Both languages, on phones and tablets. On a tablet on its side, the step name and the pie go big enough to read across a room.

NO ACCOUNT, NO SUBSCRIPTION
No sign-in, no subscription screen, no ads, no analytics, no third-party trackers. Your routines stay on your device — the app has no server to send them to.

What’s new

First release on Android.

Build a routine as a ring of coloured steps, press play, and watch it empty in real time. A sound cues each change, a notification keeps the current step on the lock screen, a home-screen widget starts a routine with one tap, and finishing early is recorded honestly.
