Picture cards make "what's next" easy to see.
When kids can see it, they can do it themselves.
"I did it!" feels good — and that good feeling is what makes them want to try again tomorrow.
Esilbe is a picture-card schedule app that helps families ride that positive cycle together.
Built on the visual schedule and structured-teaching ideas used in early-intervention settings, it turns everyday routines into a string of small "I did it!" moments.
[What you can do]
■ Build the day with friendly picture cards
Pick from 100+ built-in cards to put together morning, afternoon, and evening routines in seconds. Analog clock cards make "what time" easy to share, too.
■ Tap to mark each step done
Each step lines up as a picture card. Tap when it's done — that's it. Simple enough for a parent and child to work through it side by side.
■ A hanamaru for every "I did it!"
Tap a card when it's done and a hanamaru — the flower-circle Japanese teachers draw on great work — is stamped on it. Finish them all for a big one. "You did it!" — the app celebrates with you.
■ The week ahead, at a glance
Lay out picture cards for the next seven days, starting today, so "what are we doing tomorrow?" feels exciting, not uncertain. Knowing what comes next helps kids feel safe.
■ Make cards from your own photos
Snap your child's actual toothbrush, the shoes they love — and turn them into cards. Routines built from "Hey, I know that one!" land very differently from generic clip art.
■ Calm, kid-friendly design
Soft, calm colors, rounded shapes, and reduced visual noise help kids focus on the task in front of them. Dark mode keeps things gentle around bedtime, too.
■ Look back, build confidence
A calendar fills up with hanamaru on the days they did it. "We did it yesterday, we did it today" — small wins that add up to real confidence.
■ Ask AI to make a schedule
Connect an AI such as ChatGPT or Claude, then chat or share a photo of a school letter to make a picture card schedule. See the day ahead together before a field trip.
Needs an AI account. The free plan makes one schedule and one card.
■ Plus the basics
- Keep-screen-on for uninterrupted routines
- Card orientation: portrait or landscape

Let's celebrate the small wins, together.
