Wait With Me

Some waiting is hard. Five minutes until we leave the park, ten minutes until dinner, two minutes at the door with a coat on. Wait With Me shows that time as a shape instead of a number. A coloured wedge covers the time that is left, and it shrinks away. Nothing has to be read. HOW IT WORKS Drag around the edge to set up to an hour. Tap the middle to start. Tap again to pause. Three soft notes when it is over — not an alarm. Underneath: reset, sound on or off, digits on or off, and four colours. It opens the way you left it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No advertising. No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. No in-app purchases. Nothing to unlock. This app asks for NO PERMISSIONS AT ALL — including no internet permission, which means the operating system itself prevents it from sending anything anywhere, whatever the app might attempt. You can check that in the permission list on this page rather than taking our word for it. Nothing is scored, counted or saved. Waiting is not an achievement; it is time passing, and the disc just says so. NO WORDS INSIDE Every control is a shape, so the app works the same in any language — and a child who cannot read can use it alone. Useful for anyone who finds waiting hard, and for the classrooms, therapy rooms and homes where a visual timer already lives on the wall. ALSO FROM UTRENDTEK Which First — a visual schedule that shows a child what is happening now and what comes next, and lets them choose the order. Liquid Calm — something quiet to touch.
