RoutinePals — visual routines and timers for kids

Visual routines and timers for kids who thrive on structure

RoutinePals turns everyday routines into clear, picture-based steps that kids can follow on their own. Each routine shows one calm step at a time with a friendly image, so getting ready in the morning, winding down at night, and finishing chores feels predictable instead of overwhelming.

Built-in visual timers give kids a gentle sense of how much time is left without the pressure of a ticking clock, and celebrations and rewards keep motivation high. Caregivers can start from dozens of ready-made routine templates — morning, bedtime, hygiene, school, chores, feelings check-ins, and outings — or build their own routines step by step.

AI that helps you parent — never aimed at your child

Describe your morning in one sentence and the AI co-planner drafts the whole routine, ready for you to edit. The story builder writes a personalized social story for big days — a first dentist visit, a haircut, a birthday party, a travel day — and you approve every page before your child sees it. AI can draw a soft, friendly picture for any step, and weekly insights show you where routines stall, with gentle ideas to tune them. All AI features are caregiver-only.

A wake-up alarm in your own voice

The morning alarm rings with your recorded voice or a favorite song, and tapping it opens the routine automatically. A find-device ring helps when the tablet disappears into the couch cushions.

RoutinePals uses family accounts: caregivers manage routines, stories, and rewards from a parent dashboard while each child gets a simple, focused runner view with per-child sensory settings (calm palettes, larger text, reduced animation). It is designed for kids who thrive on structure, including many neurodivergent and autistic children. RoutinePals is a support tool for families and does not provide medical or therapeutic services. Create a free account: 1 child and 3 ready-made routines. Upgrade to Pro for the custom builder (your kid's photos and AI pictures) and unlimited routines — $6.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 14-day free trial in the iOS and Android apps. Then take it with you on iPhone, iPad, or Android.
