Proactio teaches kids how time works, so they can make the most of it. You simply input your daily routine, and set the finish time. Proactio builds a visual timer, & shows the passage of time. Dynamic blocks of "free time" grow when kids complete tasks early

Hey Makers & Hunters, As a dad of three, in charge of our morning routine I was often the grumpy, nagging, rushing dad-monster. And I hated it. So I built Proactio to help, and today's the day I get to share it. My kids are great, but (like most kids) it's hard for them to wrap their head around time. It's so abstract, and the idea of "5 minutes left" means very little to them. 😅 When they want to go play, they're not exactly motivated to brush their teeth. I thought if I could just help them understand that there's plenty of time *after* all the "important" stuff is done, we'd all have stress-free mornings. 🙏 That's where Proactio comes into play. It turns a morning routine (or any other routine) into an engaging experience. - It's a visual timer that helps kids understand time, so they can use it well. - It's dynamic too, so kids can see "Play time" grow as they get things done. ✨ It was such fun working on it with they kids—yes, they've been alpha testers and helped pick the colors and sounds—and they love the final* product. I developed Proactio not just for my family, but for anyone wanting to empower their kids with agency over their time. If this sounds like something that could bring some peace and positivity to your mornings (or bedtimes or chore time), I'd love for you to give it a try. Here's to more proactive kids and happier parents. It worked wonders for us, and I believe it can for you too. Cheers, Jack 💚 *Not that final-There's already some cool upgrades on the way for V2. 😉

@jack_jenkins great app. One of my boys has ADHD which makes it more difficult for him to understand the concept of time (ADHD affects your ability to plan among other things). Haven’t tried it yet, but I think this app will be great for him. Will let you know!

Monetizing apps for kids is tough, do you expect parents to pay for it? Just curious, congrats on the launch!

@alex_chepovoi the benefit here is definitely shared by parents and kids, and the free version is free forever with a single saved timer you can edit as often as you like to use for as many routines as you need. I really want the app to be something that can help any family, regardless of whether they can pay for it. The paid version gives you the convenience of many saved timers so you can start them for your different routines with no set up hassle each time. It’s something I’d expect a percentage of parents to pay for as it’s a one time fee that makes their lives much easier. And then rather than relying on subscriptions I can rely on the ever refilling pool of parents. 😁 feels like a win-win (maybe I’m an idealist) so I’m starting there and will see how it goes. Great question!

Hi Jack. Congrats on the launch! It's very interesting idea and turning the daily morning routine into a game. I also like the .gif on your website, it helps to understand how it works

@anna_kasumova thanks Anna! I’ll pass that on to my daughter, she helped with the animations so the blocks “looked more real and didn’t land perfectly straight” 😁

Product Hunt

My wife and I have been giving a lot of count-downs recently, but I am curious to see how showing the visual upside can affect our morning routine negotiations. Is there any parenting advice or other research that has been done in this time management space for kids that you leaned on while building this?

@product_at_producthunt I'm sure there's been research done in the area, but none that I've leaned on specifically, it really came from a desperate desire to *show* how time works, so it really felt like it had to be visual. I'd love to hear how it goes for you and your wife! (or if you come across any related research)

LOVE the easy to use UI! Tried it out on my own morning routine and felt like such a winner when my free time increased haha who doesn't enjoy a couple more minutes in the morning before starting work?? Nice idea Jack 👌

I absolutely love this. Looks like an excellent user experience (love that it shows how much more time they gained), and as a dad I fully understand the product. I'm always hesitant to pay for stuff for my kids though, just because they stop using basically anything after about 20 minutes.

@nsjames_ Thanks Nathan! I can definitely appreciate that, good thing is you can use it for way more than 20 minutes before you pay for anything. 😉 Thanks for checking it out, hope your kids like it.
