GentleTimer: Sleep & Focus

Help your child feel calm, focused, and in control, one gentle minute at a time.
Ad-free, fully offline, total privacy.

GentleTimer is a beautifully simple visual countdown tool that helps young children build healthy habits around time. Whether it’s getting ready for bed, staying in bed until it’s time to wake up, brushing teeth, or transitioning between activities, GentleTimer makes routines easier for both kids and grown-ups.

Instead of nagging or rushing, children can see time pass in a way they understand. A soft reveal animation gradually uncovers an image or scene, giving kids something to look forward to and focus on. You can even personalize it with your own photos or calming music.

Ideal for:
• Sleep training early risers (helps kids stay in bed until the timer is up)
• Bedtime and naptime wind-down routines
• Brushing teeth or getting dressed
• Calming overstimulated toddlers
• Supporting transitions for children with autism or ADHD
• Helping preschoolers visualize and manage their time
• Group activities or “center time” in classrooms

Designed to be gentle and distraction-free, GentleTimer avoids bright colors, loud alerts, or stressful visuals. You choose what your child sees and hears at the end of each countdown, whether it’s a silly photo, a favorite animal, or a relaxing tune.

Whether you’re trying to create smoother mornings or easier bedtimes, GentleTimer becomes a helpful rhythm in your child’s day. It’s not just about keeping track of time, it’s about making time feel safe, predictable, and even fun.

Try it and see how much smoother your daily flow can feel.
