Abelo Timer — Support

What is this timer for?

Breaking work into short stretches, with breaks. It is a way of organising time: it treats nothing, and it does not measure the child’s attention.

Automatic or guided?

In automatic mode the next phase starts on its own. In guided mode the timer stops at every transition and waits for a tap — the waiting does not eat into the next phase.

What if I leave the app?

In automatic mode time keeps running, and the session is picked up where it should be on return. The end-of-phase notification depends on the phone’s permissions; the timing itself depends on nothing.

What if the child taps everywhere?

Turn on screen lock in the preferences: the controls are disabled during the session, and the adult keeps a way out.

Changing the language

Parents’ area → Language. Eight languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Turkish, Arabic and Moroccan Darija. The parents’ area sits behind an arithmetic question, so a child does not wander into it.

A completely free app

The timer, routines, every profile and offline voices are free, without subscriptions or purchases in the new free version.

If you subscribed in an earlier version, cancel that subscription from Settings → your name → Subscriptions on iPhone or Google Play → Subscriptions on Android to stop renewals.
