Gametimer puts a positive spin on screen time.

Freedom within the set standards

About Gametimer

The positive spin

No more problems discussing screen time. Make agreements together and set them up in the clear app that synchronises everything automatically with the Gametimer. Kids can then see for themselves how much play time they have left that day and when it is time to take a break.

  • Supports children against prolonged screen use
  • Screen time statistics for the past 7 days
  • Ends discussions between parents and children
  • Agreements about screen time are adhered to
  • Teaches children to organize their screen time
How does it work?

Gametimer is more than a timer…

Gametimer quickly teaches your kids to manage their screen time. You can decide with them how long they get to play each day, but then let them decide when. This increases their awareness and teaches them how to plan. It gives parents more insight, and puts an end to unnecessary discussions because children have the responsibility themselves.

It is unbelievable how, after one day, my children (aged 6 and 7), took responsibility for the time they spent with the TV, computer, iPad, etc. They can watch whenever they want, but no more than their daily allowance. They now have a better sense of the time at their disposal. They allocate their own time throughout the day. No more discussions. No whining. They now turn off the TV themselves when their time is up. We couldn’t believe our eyes at first. But now it’s the “new normal”. :-)

Internet crazy

Managing screen time in combination with competency development. The Gametimer is the ideal solution in the battle against screen time.

Robbert Ros

What a great solution. By using the Gametimer, my son now knows exactly how long he can spend behind the screen. He can now decide his screen-time for himself, and this prevents questions and discussions for the rest of the day.

Cool Suggestions

The Gametimer is a practical tool that helps children gain more insight into their gaming behaviour. Not only in real time, but also cumulatively. You have to make clear agreements though (to encourage the kids to think carefully about their gaming and the way in which they do it). The timer itself is large and robust, easy to use, and makes a clear noise (that cannot be missed).
