Smidge: Visual Timer for Kids

Kids can't really feel 10 minutes. They can watch a colored disc get smaller, though, and when it runs out Smidge rings like a real alarm.

Drag around the disc or tap a time. Anything from 1 minute to 2 hours.
Rings through silent mode and Focus, even with the app closed.
The countdown shows on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Prop an iPad on the whiteboard ledge and the whole class can read it.
Pro adds saved timers and routines, so “Get dressed” rolls into “Breakfast” with one tap.

Free to use, and the timer stays free. Pro will be $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year with a free week to try it, or $89.99 once.

No ads, no account, and nothing leaves your device. Needs iOS 26.

Coming soon to the App Store
