Time Tower - Magical clock-learning adventure for kids to master time.
by•
Time Tower is a step-by-step clock learning journey for kids. Built to help my 6-year-old daughter master concepts like "15 minutes before 3".
After a 10-year hiatus from legacy PHP, I used ClaudeCode to bridge the gap and build this native app.
- 6 levels from the ground to the stars
- Interactive learning: Hands-on clock manipulation
- Kid-Safe: 100% distraction-free (No ads)
- Bilingual: Full English & Japanese support
Master the clock and reach the top!

Hi Hunters! 👋
I’m the solo maker of Time Tower. This project is a very personal milestone for me.
The Journey: From Legacy PHP to Modern Mobile I spent over a decade away from active development, with my knowledge stuck in the PHP era of 10+ years ago. My return started with VibeCoding (AI-assisted development), which led to my first modern web app, Typimal. Today, I’m launching my very first native mobile app.
The Motivation: My 6-year-old Daughter My daughter understood "o'clock" and "half-past," but struggled with anything finer, like "15 minutes before 3". I couldn't find an app that was both beautiful and educationally deep, so I decided to build a journey for her.
The Tech: ClaudeCode & Nano Banana Pro Using ClaudeCode as my primary partner, I navigated the React Native/Expo stack. For the assets, mascot and the tower backgrounds were visuals accelerated by Nano Banana Pro, allowing me to iterate with incredible speed and quality.
Key Philosophy:
- Structured Learning: 6 levels mirroring a child's learning curve.
- Zero Distractions: No ads, no tracking. Just learning.
- Bilingual Support: Learn in English or Japanese with localized audio.
I’m proof that AI is a "time machine" that can help any developer—regardless of their background—create tools that truly matter. I’d love to hear your feedback!
Happy climbing! 🚀
