RoutinePals: Visual Schedule

Net87

About this app

RoutinePals is the visual schedule app that turns daily battles — mornings, bedtime, homework — into calm, picture-by-picture routines your child can follow on their own. Built for autistic kids, kids with ADHD, toddlers, and any child who thrives on structure, it’s made for parents and educators alike.

A VISUAL SCHEDULE & TIMER IN ONE
• Build a picture schedule with photos, emoji, video, or your own recorded voice
• Visual timer and visual countdown timer on every step — for kids who need one thing at a time
• First-Then board mode for simple, low-stress transitions
• 40+ templates: morning routine chart, bedtime routine chart, hygiene, chore chart, school, feelings, outings
• Big, friendly full-screen steps — each one is read aloud

MADE FOR AUTISM & ADHD
• A picture schedule for autism and an ADHD routine app in one place
• Visual schedules for students with autism — great for the classroom and home
• Built on visual supports, an evidence-based practice, for predictability and independence
• Per-child sensory settings: calm palettes, larger text, reduced motion, sound control

CUSTOM CHARACTERS, CONSISTENT IN EVERY STORY
• Create a custom character from a photo or a quick description — and AI keeps that same character looking consistent across every page of every story
• Tie a character to each child so it becomes their profile picture across the app
• Add parents, siblings, and pets so the whole family shows up the same way every time
• Social story builder for big days (dentist, haircut, first flight) — each page shows only who's in that scene, and you approve every page

REWARDS THAT MOTIVATE
• A built-in token board / reward chart — kids earn stars for each finished step
• Spend stars in your family reward store; streaks and celebrations keep momentum

WAKE-UP ALARM IN YOUR VOICE
• The morning alarm rings in your recorded voice or a favorite song, and opens the routine automatically

AI THAT HELPS THE GROWN-UP (never aimed at your child)
• Describe your morning in a sentence — AI drafts the routine, you edit anything
• Gentle weekly insights show where routines stall
All AI is caregiver-only; your child sees only what you approve.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTION & INDEPENDENCE
• A visual daily planner that helps kids build executive function skills, follow steps, and feel proud finishing on their own

PRIVATE & FAMILY-FIRST
• No third-party ads, ever. We never sell personal data. COPPA-aligned.
• Works on Android, iPhone, and any browser at routinepals.com

Whether you searched for a visual schedule app, a visual timer app, a picture schedule for autism, a first-then board, or a morning or bedtime routine chart — RoutinePals brings it together in one calm, kid-friendly app.
