Step done

Teeth brushed!

7:24

SOUND FAMILIAR?

"Get your shoes on" — for the fourth time.

7:42 a.m. The bag isn't packed. The teeth aren't brushed. Someone is crying about socks. Mornings can feel like a tug-of-war you keep losing before your coffee is even warm.

Marlow hands the routine back to the kid — visually, gently, and with a friend by their side.

Before

× "Mom! Where are my shoes?"

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to a calmer routine.

Set it up once. Hand it over. Watch your mornings (and evenings) change.

Build the routine

Drag in the steps that matter — get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, pack the bag. Set a time for each. Done.

Hand it over

Tap Start. The phone shows one task at a time with a friendly timer. No menus, no choices, no chaos.

Celebrate the win

Confetti, a high-five from their buddy, and the streak grows. Next routine starts itself.

ONE TABLET, EVERY KID

Every kid gets their own trail.

Stand Hey Marlow up on the family tablet and every child gets their own morning trail — their buddy, their steps, their streak. One glance tells you who's sailing through breakfast and who's still stuck on socks.

Visual timers kids can read

Not numbers — a shrinking ring. Pre-readers see exactly how much time is left. The clock becomes a friend, not a threat.

Streaks that motivate

Finish routines and build streaks. They grow over school weeks — off-days are safe, weekends are off by default.

Multiple kids, one phone

Siblings each get their own buddy, routine, and streak. Swap with a tap — no separate accounts.

A friend for the journey

Pick a woodland friend on day one — a fox, a bear, a bunny, and more. They wait at the start of every routine.

Parent dashboard

See what's working. Average time, hot spots, weekly trends — without spying on the play side.

Keepsakes

Kids collect little keepsakes as they go — small rewards for sticking with their routines, morning and night.

MEET THE BUDDIES

One little friend for the road.

Pick a buddy on day one. They cheer, they wait, they grow with the streak.

QUESTIONS

The small print, in plain words.

What age is Hey Marlow for?

Built for ages 4–10. Younger kids love the buddy and the timer ring; older ones tune their own routines and rack up streaks. The interface adapts a bit to age (bigger taps for younger, more stats for older).

Does my kid need their own phone?

Nope. Marlow is designed to live on your phone or tablet. You set it up, hand it over for the routine, then take it back. Hey Marlow lets siblings share one device, each with their own buddy and streak.

Is it screen-time? I'm trying to limit that.

Not the passive kind. Kids glance at the timer, do the task in real life, then come back to tap "I did it!" — the device just keeps track. Total screen time is in seconds, not sessions.

What stops my kid from just tapping "I did it!" without doing it?

Honestly, nothing forces it — and that's the point. Marlow builds the habit of self-checking, not surveillance. Most kids take pride in keeping the streak real. If you ever want a gut-check, the parent dashboard shows timing and hot spots.

What about evenings and weekends?

Hey Marlow supports morning, evening, and custom routines — bath, pyjamas, books, bed, or whatever your family needs. Weekends are off by default: streaks don't break, and rest days stay restful.

Does it need internet?

No. Routines, timers, and streaks all run on the device, so a patchy connection or airplane mode won't break the morning.

What do you do with our data?

Nothing fun. Routines and streaks stay on the device. We never sell anything, never run ads, never share with third parties.

Is it free?

There's a free trial so you can see it land in your own mornings. After that it's a single family subscription — every kid, every routine, one price. No per-child upsells.

Can I cancel?

Any time, in two taps from your app store. We don't make you talk to anyone. Your data stays put in case you come back.

YOUR MOVE

Free to try, no card needed. Set it up tonight, run it tomorrow. Marlow will be there.
