From the Developer
This app was created from our wish to begin each morning with a smile—even during hectic routines and moments when our son found it hard to switch tasks.
With a clear display of remaining time and adorable character voices offering gentle prompts, TimeSense acts like a co-parent—speaking on your behalf.
It’s a timer app built on the ideas of education and kindness, helping kids gradually develop self-direction and time awareness.
We hope TimeSense can support children and parents all over the world. We’d love to hear your feedback!
FAQ
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
Tap any item to open the answer and troubleshooting steps.
Q. The screen is not responding / I cannot tap buttons
A. Child Lock may be turned on.
TimeSense includes a Child Lock feature that can temporarily limit touch input so children do not accidentally stop the timer or change settings.
If the screen is not responding, please first check whether Child Lock is enabled.
How to check
- Check the gear icon in the top-right corner of the main screen
- If a lock mark appears at the lower-right of the gear icon, Child Lock is enabled
How to turn it off
- Press and hold the gear icon in the top-right corner
- After a few seconds, the settings screen will open
- Select Child Lock from the menu
- Turn Child Lock OFF
Please note
- While Child Lock is enabled, some screen actions are disabled
- This does not mean the app is broken
If it still does not work
If Child Lock is not enabled, or the issue continues after these steps, it may be a device-specific problem. Please contact us by email at hello@syncraft.dev.

Q. The timer stops before it finishes
A. Your device power-saving settings may be stopping the app automatically.
TimeSense is designed to stay stable while a timer is running, but on some Android devices, aggressive battery settings can restrict the app in the background.
Things to check
- Make sure Battery Saver or Low Power Mode is not enabled
- Make sure TimeSense is excluded from battery optimization
- Make sure background activity is allowed for the app
If you use an Android device
Some manufacturers apply stronger battery control than usual. This can happen more often on devices from Samsung Electronics, Xiaomi Corporation, and OPPO.

Q. I turned on notifications, but I’m not receiving them
A. Your device notification or battery settings may be affecting delivery.
TimeSense can send notifications at the times you set. In most cases, missing notifications are caused by device-side restrictions.
Things to check
- Make sure notifications are allowed for TimeSense in your device settings
- Make sure Do Not Disturb or Focus mode is not active
- Make sure Battery Saver or Low Power Mode is not enabled
If you use an Android device
Battery optimization or background restrictions may delay or block notifications. The exact setting names may vary by manufacturer.

Q. Can I transfer data to another device? / Is my data synced?
A. At the moment, TimeSense stores data separately on each device and does not support sync between devices.
To keep the app safe and privacy-friendly for young children, TimeSense does not use account registration or cloud sync. Your data is stored only on the device you are using.
