ReadySet: Visual Routine Timer
Family Countdown Reward Chart
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tired of repeating yourself every morning? ReadySet is built for busy parents to help their kids get ready on time. It shows your family exactly what needs to be done and how much time is left, so you can stop nagging and they can start taking responsibility.
I built ReadySet with my two kids because they had zero sense of time, and I was exhausted from being the bad guy every morning. Now they race the clock instead of fighting me.
HOW IT WORKS
Create a routine with simple steps: brush teeth, get dressed, pack bag. Set a deadline. ReadySet shows a big visual countdown alongside the task list, so everyone always knows what's next and how much time is left.
As each step is finished, it gets checked off. Complete everything on time? A collectible sticker is unlocked.
No more "five more minutes" arguments. The timer doesn't negotiate.
BUILDS REAL HABITS THROUGH CONSISTENCY
Kids thrive on routine. When they see the same steps in the same order every day, those steps become automatic. Before long, your kids will remind you if something got skipped. That's when you know it's working.
SYNCS ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES
Your routine follows you through how mornings actually work. Start on the iPad in the kitchen, check progress from your phone while you pack the car, or let kids tick off tasks from their own device. Everything stays in sync, including the stickers.
It's also a handy teaching tool. Pull up your phone and ask "what's left?" or "do we have enough time?" and let the app do the explaining instead of you.
WHY KIDS LOVE IT

BUILT BY A PARENT, FOR FAMILIES
I built ReadySet with my kids to solve our family's morning chaos. Every feature exists because we needed it. The visual countdown because my daughter couldn't understand "ten minutes." The sticker rewards because my son needed something to work toward. The lack of sibling competition because that always backfired.
I hope it helps your family as much as it's helped mine.

New: Voice Announcements
Mornings just got a little calmer. ReadySet can now speak up and help your kids get themselves ready.
Switch on Voice Announcements for any event and ReadySet reminds your child what needs doing at the start of the routine, then, as the countdown ticks toward "leave for school," it gently calls out what's still left to finish. We've had an iPad running in our own kitchen every morning this week, and watching the kids take charge of their own routine has made a real difference.
Voice Announcements are completely optional and can be turned on per event, so you decide exactly when a little extra nudge helps.
Also in this update:
- Events load faster thanks to an improved caching system
- A few small bug fixes to keep things running smoothly
Thanks for letting ReadySet be part of your family's mornings. We'd love to hear how Voice Announcements work in your house!
