RoutinePals
Visual routines for families
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Mornings without meltdowns: visual routines, wake-up alarms in your voice, and AI social stories for big days. Built for autism & ADHD families.
RoutinePals turns daily battles — mornings, bedtime, homework — into calm, visual step-by-step routines your child can follow on their own. Built for autistic kids, ADHD kids, and any child who thrives on structure.
VISUAL ROUTINES
• Build routines with photos, videos, emoji, or your own recorded voice
• 40+ ready-made templates: morning, bedtime, hygiene, school, feelings, outings
• First/Then mode and step timers for kids who need one thing at a time
• Kids tap through big, friendly full-screen steps — every step is read aloud
AI THAT HELPS YOU (never aimed at your child)
• Describe your morning in one sentence — AI drafts the whole routine, you edit anything
• Story builder: a personalized social story for big days (dentist, haircut, birthday party, travel) — you approve every page before your child sees it
• AI draws soft, friendly pictures for any step
• Weekly insights: see where routines stall and get gentle ideas to tune them
All AI is caregiver-only. Your child only ever sees what you approve.
WAKE-UP ALARM IN YOUR VOICE
• The morning alarm rings with YOUR recorded voice or a favorite song
• Tapping it opens the routine automatically
• Find-device ring for when the tablet disappears into the couch
REWARDS THAT WORK
• Kids earn stars for every completed step and spend them in your family reward store
• Streaks and celebrations keep the momentum going
MADE FOR EVERY KID
• Per-child sensory settings: calm color palettes, larger text, reduced animation, sound control
• Feelings check-in with coping ideas, and a visual waiting timer
• Kid Mode is fully separate from caregiver settings
PRIVATE & FAMILY-FIRST
• No third-party ads, ever. We never sell personal information. COPPA-aligned.
