Why it helps

Mornings don't have to be a battle.

Most family mornings follow the same pattern. You remind. They forget. You remind again. Little Routine Timer gives children a clear sequence they can follow on their own.

Sound familiar?

  • Repeating the same reminders every single morning
  • Children losing track of what comes next
  • Different children needing different routines, different timing
  • Rushed mornings that start the day on the wrong note
  • Bedtimes that drag on long past the first "five more minutes"

How Little Routine Timer helps

  • One task at a time — clear, visual, with a countdown
  • Children can see exactly what comes next and follow independently
  • Each child has their own tailored routine and child profile
  • Two routines can run side by side — one per sibling
  • Running Late mode helps when time is short

Getting started

Up and running in minutes

No account to create, nothing to configure online. Just download, set up your family, and start.

  1. Add your children

    Create a profile for each child. Give them a name and choose a profile colour. Each profile is separate and private.

  2. Build or customise a routine

    Choose from editable morning or bedtime templates, or build your own from scratch. Set each task and how long it should take.

  3. Start the timer and follow each step

    Hand the device to your child. The app guides them through each task one at a time with a clear countdown. They mark each step done as they go.

Features

Everything a family routine needs

Built for real families with real mornings. No bloat, no fuss — just the tools that make routines calmer.

Two children. Two routines. One calmer home.

Both children can follow their own routine at exactly the same time — independently, at their own pace. The biggest time-saver in a busy morning.

Morning routines

Start the day with a clear, structured sequence. Children move through each step with a countdown, without needing reminders.

Bedtime routines

Wind down calmly. Calm Bedtime mode keeps the tone gentle for the end of the day.

Custom routines

Build any routine from scratch, or tweak a ready-made template. Add, remove and reorder tasks to match your family's needs.

Running Late mode

When you're short on time, Running Late mode helps children move through the essentials more quickly. No panic, just pace.

Calm Bedtime mode

A gentler mode for bedtime routines that keeps the atmosphere quiet and unhurried as the day winds down.

Quick Timer

Need a one-off countdown? Quick Timer is always easy to reach from the app navigation — no routine setup required.

Editable templates

Morning and bedtime templates give you a sensible starting point. Edit them to fit your household exactly.

Works offline

No internet connection needed. Everything lives on your device. The app works just as well on aeroplane mode.

Multiple children

Create a separate profile for each child. Each one can have their own routines and tasks, tailored just for them.

For families with more than one child

Both routines. Same time. No chaos.

Mia might start her routine at 7:00. Leo can start his at 7:15. Both can continue on their own, side by side.

  • Each child follows their own routine at their own pace
  • You can return to the Home screen without stopping either routine
  • Each child has their own task and timer visible on screen
  • A maximum of two routines can run at the same time
  • The same child cannot be in two active routines at once
