Is Kids Timer free?
Yes. The browser timer is free, with no account required. The iOS and Android apps are separate products with their own store information.
Can toddlers use a visual timer?
An adult can set up a short activity and explain that the water shows the time left. Children do not need to read the numbers to watch it change.
Does it work offline?
After the site has loaded and offline setup is complete, the timer can work without a connection. Open it once online before relying on offline use.
Will the alarm play with my phone locked?
Background and locked-screen audio depend on your browser and device. Keep the page open and check the volume when the finish sound matters.
Can I use it in a classroom?
Yes. Use fullscreen for a shared display, turn sound off for quiet work, or build a short routine for a group activity.
