Mr. Wolf Timer & Clock Teacher
Visual Countdown & Time Tutor
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: spoken step-by-step routine chains for morning and bedtime, Classroom timers for teachers, and Calm Mode — plus the colour timer kids love.
Mr. Wolf Timer & Clock Teacher turns "how much longer?" into something kids can see, hear and understand. One colourful dial for timing anything, plus step-by-step routines that talk your child through their morning or bedtime — no shouting required.
It also teaches clock reading, in eight languages, with zero ads and zero data collected about your child.
THE TIMER
A single dial glows through 12 colour bands over a full hour — violet for calm, warming through blue, green and gold, to red as time runs out. Kids feel time passing before they can read a clock face.
- Quick presets: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or dial in any custom time
- A gentle chime as the colour changes at each band, a two-minute warning, and a cheerful fanfare when time's up
- Keeps counting accurately even if the screen locks or the app is backgrounded, keeps the screen awake while running, and still sends a notification the moment time's up
ROUTINES
Turn any daily routine into a guided chain of timed steps that move on by themselves, so you don't have to keep checking a clock.
- Ready-made Morning (breakfast, teeth, getting dressed, backpack, out the door) and Bedtime (bath, pyjamas, teeth, story, lights out) chains, or build your own from teeth, tidying, meals, reading, homework, play, screen time and more
- Mr. Wolf now speaks each step out loud, by name and by how many minutes it gets, when a chain starts, whenever a step is skipped, and automatically as it moves to the next step — right through to a spoken "great job" when the whole routine is done
- Every step and chain gets its own soft colour, so little ones recognise routines at a glance
- Edit any chain: reorder steps, change minutes, add, remove, or reset to the default
FOR TEACHERS
A dedicated Classroom set of routines built for the school day: Pack away, Silent reading, Group work, Carpet time, Test, Brain break and Line up — each with sensible default minutes, fully editable for your own timetable.
CALM MODE
One tap freezes the floating bubbles, clouds and numbers in the background while the timer keeps running normally. Perfect for children who find constant motion distracting or overstimulating, including many kids with ADHD or autism, or anyone who just wants a calmer screen.
LEARNING TO TELL THE TIME
- An analogue clock page that explains the hour and minute hands, with optional on-screen labels
- A 24-hour digital clock page that shows how the clock keeps counting past 12 noon (13:00, 14:00…) alongside the familiar 12-hour AM/PM time
- A time quiz with over 50 questions covering analogue reading, 24-hour conversion and more, mixed up fresh each time
- Five short games: Tell the Time, Set the Clock, Adjust the Clock, Set the Digital Clock, and Tell the Digital Time
EIGHT LANGUAGES
The whole app, including every spoken routine announcement, works in English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, Bengali and Portuguese. Switch any time from the language picker.
PRIVACY
Mr. Wolf sends nothing about your child anywhere. There are no accounts to create, no logins, no analytics, no advertising, and no in-app purchases or subscriptions — just a timer and some clock lessons, running entirely on the device. The app loads its two display fonts from Google Fonts; nothing about your child, their activity, or their device is ever collected, tracked, or shared.
