TinyclockFeature · Timo the mascot
Meet Timo, the red panda who makes routines easier.
Timo turns time limits, bedtime and requests for more time into friendly, age-appropriate moments, so the app feels like a helper instead of a guard.
Designed for cooperation
Clear for parents. Fair for kids.
Timo greets your child, announces time left, says goodnight at bedtime and cheers on good days. When time runs out, Timo is the friendly face that explains what is happening.

Approve 10, 30 or 60 more minutes, or say no kindly, in one tap.
