TimeTrophy

TimeTrophy started as a present for my daughter: a gamified app that turns morning routines into a game with points and Pixar-style characters. Suddenly getting ready for school was something to win.

I built it in about 23 hours with AI tools doing the heavy lifting, and shipped it to the App Store. It is the best product feedback loop I know: a kid will tell you the truth.

TimeTrophy progress screen with points, level, trophy count, a TV time reward, and a row of character avatars. A routine task screen with a 15 minute countdown timer and a Start button. One of TimeTrophy's Pixar-style characters, a dog holding a toothbrush for the tooth-brushing task. Another TimeTrophy character, a cat in a pink sweater.
