DaySteps

Calm daily routines that stick

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Launch offer: lifetime Family access, one payment, forever. One calm step at a time. No points, no streaks, no shame — just routines that finally stick. Some brains need the day broken down differently. DaySteps turns routines into one calm step at a time — so mornings, homework, transitions, and bedtime stop being a battle and start being doable. Built on executive function research, and built for everyone supporting the day: parents, kids, adults, clinicians, and teachers — one shared, consent-based system across home, clinic, and classroom. One visible step. One visible timer. Zero pressure. ONE STEP AT A TIME Full to-do lists overwhelm working memory. During a routine, DaySteps shows exactly one step — clear, focused, finishable. Confidence comes from completing, not from being told to hurry. TIME YOU CAN SEE Abstract time is hard. Every step has a gentle visual countdown, so "5 minutes" becomes something you can feel. And when a timer ends, there's no alarm and no failure — just calm encouragement to finish when ready. NO POINTS. NO STREAKS. NO SHAME. DaySteps deliberately avoids gamification. No badges to lose, no streaks to break, no red alerts. Progress is acknowledged in the moment, in a way that builds real confidence instead of anxiety. GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD Progression levels let you fade structure as skills grow — from fully guided routines to a child running their own day. Support that leads to independence, not dependence on an app. BUILT FOR CARE TEAMS, TOO Therapists, OTs, and teachers can connect to a family — with explicit parent approval — to suggest routines, align supports across settings, and see progress parents choose to share. Consistency between home, clinic, and classroom is where routines actually take hold. FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY - Parents: build routines together, follow along in real time, see gentle insights - Kids: a PIN-protected Child Mode that feels like their own tool, not a monitoring system - Adults: run your own day with the same calm structure Designed around executive function challenges — including ADHD and autism — and useful for any brain that benefits from visible structure. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, ever. No selling data. Children never need their own account, and nothing about a child is shared without explicit parent consent. FREE TO START The core experience is free. DaySteps Premium (Family) unlocks deeper calendars, insights, templates, and calendar sync. DaySteps Practice unlocks practice-wide tools for clinicians working with multiple families. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends — manage anytime in your App Store settings.
