## Questions and answers

### What is a visual timer for kids?

A visual timer uses a changing picture to show how much time is left. In Ticko, an animation changes as the countdown runs, so a child can follow time passing without reading a clock.

### What can I use Ticko Timer for?

Use Ticko for homework, independent reading, screen time, playtime, getting ready, classroom activities or bedtime. Save a named custom timer with its own picture and default duration for a routine you repeat.

### How long can a countdown be?

Set a countdown from 10 seconds to 60 minutes. Adjust in 10-second steps below one minute and 30-second steps from one minute upward. You can pause, resume or reset a countdown.

### Which timer styles and themes can I choose?

Ticko has 16 animated countdown styles, including the candy disc, Ticko’s Star Mission, penguin slide, rocket, melting snowman and bubble hourglass. Ten illustrated themes give the app different worlds to explore, and custom timers keep a name, picture and default duration for each routine.

### Does it work offline, and are there ads?

Countdowns work offline. Ticko Timer has no ads and requires no account.

### Can children change an active timer?

Parents can turn on the child lock to protect settings and active countdown controls with a parental check. It is optional, so families can choose how they use the app.

### Can I use it as a Pomodoro timer?

Yes. Start a focus countdown, then start a separate countdown for a break. For example, use 25 minutes of homework and a 5-minute break, or shorter rounds to suit your routine. Ticko does not automatically alternate work and break sessions.

### Is this the same as Ticko’s tooth brushing app?

No. Ticko: Visual Timer for Kids is a separate app for everyday countdowns. Ticko: Tooth Brushing Timer is HappyTooth’s dedicated brushing app with brushing zones, cartoon rewards and daily streaks.

### Who makes Ticko Timer?

Ticko Timer is made by HappyTooth, a one-person indie studio founded by Andrei Karavaichyk and based in Poland. For support, email happy.toothapp@gmail.com.
