No battles over screen time
Gametimer brings peace, structure and clarity into the home. Children are given responsibility for their screen time in a playful way, and parents finally have a nice tool to make agreements clear. No discussions, but clear frameworks that children can work with themselves. This creates balance, trust and more fun around screen use.
Children like it
Gametimer is robust, simple and designed in such a way that children enjoy playing with it. Because they operate it themselves, they experience it as a game and gradually learn to deal responsibly with their screen time. With one look at Gametimer, children know exactly how much screen time they have left. No difficult menus or complicated devices, but a cheerful, sturdy design that can withstand a knock.

Why should you monitor screen time?
It helps prevent health issues like myopia, promotes a healthy lifestyle, and ensures a balance between digital and offline activities.

Unnecessary discussions
Clear agreements about screen time prevent unnecessary arguments and tensions. With Gametimer everyone knows where they stand, and there is more time left for fun things together.

Healthy eyes
Looking at screens for long periods of time can strain the eyes. By planning screen time wisely and taking regular breaks, you can help children keep their eyes healthy.

More outside
When screen time is balanced, there is room for what is really important: playing outside with friends, building together, cycling or just having fun.
The children each have a Gametimer. I have set their screen time per day for both children. This way, it is clear to the children how much time they have left, and I can see on the app how much time they have already used. It works well, provides structure, and prevents unnecessary arguments.
The game timer works perfectly for us! No more setting kitchen timers or timers, everything is in the game timer and the accompanying app. It is a fun device and the children quickly learned to live with it.

Since we are a gaming family. The kids also spend a lot of time on a screen. This game timer helped us a lot. Because they can decide for themselves whether to turn it on and pause it, our eldest 5 year old is very aware of how much time she has left. It will be a game point of view to say with a victory every time. I'm ready!!
Nice device to teach children to game in moderation! Those lengthy discussions have disappeared like snow in the sun. TOP!
Finally no more endless discussions about how long you can play games on your PlayStation. After the setup everything was arranged and you could arrange your own times.

The game timer is well accepted and we have made good agreements. It took some getting used to, but the educational part of gametimer quickly became apparent.

Since using Gametimer we have managed to create a lot more peace in our home. We are no longer bothered by unnecessary discussions in particular. In the beginning it took some time to understand how the product could actually be used properly, but once you understand this and understand the concept, I have noticed that it is a nice solution for screen use.
How does it work?

Start
Place the Gametimer with the GREEN side facing up to activate it. The lights will turn off from top to bottom. When the last light goes out, the time is used up, and a signal sounds that will only stop when the RED side is turned up.

Pause
Turn the Gametimer HORIZONTALLY to pause the timer briefly. In pause mode, the Gametimer will first beep every minute, and then every 15 seconds if the pause lasts longer. This way, everyone will know that pause mode is active and that no time is being used.

Stop
Once the last light goes out, the time is used up, and a sound will be heard that will only stop when the RED side is turned upwards. The Gametimer can be used again after the set mandatory break has elapsed and if there is still remaining playing time.
Not just a timer... This is Gametimer.
