## What is Brili Routines?

Brili calms the chaos of daily routines with kids. Simply set up a routine for mornings, bedtimes, and any other time of the day. The fully featured version of Brili is available for the first whole month free! With Brili’s dynamic timers, visual and audible activity prompts and motivating rewards quickly teach your child to stay on task and on time. 
Experts know that structure and consistency set kids up for success. When kids have learning or behavior challenges such as ADHD or autism spectrum disorders, it’s especially important. Brili makes it simple, fun, and most importantly, stress-free. Give Brili a try for free and be routinely happy!
*** How Brili Works *** 
SET UP A ROUTINE
Using Parent Mode, parents set up custom routines to help their child through each part of their day, such as the steps to get ready for school. Brili syncs instantly across all devices.
BRING IT TO LIFE
Brili displays kids' routines as a game in Kid Mode, showing them what's next, how much time they have left, and prompting them at the appropriate times to keep them on track. Parents can monitor in real time from a separate device, from anywhere.
ENJOY THE BENEFITS
Kids benefit from reassuring structure and consistency, while feeling great about their progress. Problem behaviors are lessened, and parents get to devote more positive attention to their kids.
*** Included Features ***
GUIDANCE FOR KIDS
Brili includes visual timers with current activities shown in the context of the whole routine, helping children develop a good sense for timing. The app includes gentle audible prompts, notifications and alarms for scheduled routines.
LAUNCH AND GO
Open the app and the correct routine for the time of day is queued up, no need to log in every time.
DYNAMIC SCHEDULING
Parents set the start or end time for each routine and Brili will calculate the rest. If a task takes more or less time than originally stated, the subsequent activity durations are instantly changed to ensure routines are completed on time.
REWARDS
Parents can create personalized rewards their children can work towards. Each activity has an adjustable star/point value that children can receive from completing them.
CONFIGURATION
Brili comes equipped with routines and activities for any time of the day, but parents can customize these and/or create their own. Routine activities, durations, and values are all editable. 
 EASY TO USE FOR PARENTS
All kids can be managed under one parent account accessed through a User-set 4-digit code. The account can be linked to unlimited devices and Brili provides visual analysis and charts to view each child’s progress.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-03-02, version 3.3.9*

For a paid app there should be less bugs, I’ve been using this app for years and it had always been buggy. Recently resubscribed but I’m stuck on the subscribe screen and can’t use the app even though I paid money. Exhausting. I would use a different app, search the app store and you will find many alternatives.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2025-10-09, version 3.3.9*

My AuDHD son loves this app but it would be amazing if I could bring it up on my Apple TV. Sometimes he has a hard time remembering to look at the app and go to the next step so it being on the tv would be great.

### 2/5 — Love but lacking some features and updates

*2025-06-06, version 3.3.9*

I love this app. I have used it for several years on and off. Typically me moving away from it is in hopes of finding an app that has less of the issues for the same cost and or an Apple Watch application, but in the end really ends up being the best option because of its level of engagement for children..

One thing I would like is in the parents view when I open up all the routines to have a more organized view. At this point, it throws every routine from all days across all children into one cluttered list. 

Another thing that I would change is the ability to have summer routines that are based on the day, such as chores, but not required to be done by a certain time 

Additionally, the ability to skip certain tasks on certain days 

The ability to apply one routine to multiple children without having to create duplicate Routines over and over again for each child. I know there’s a duplicate routine button, but it could be so much better.

I believe that for children was really severe anxiety, offering the option to either hide the timer or do something which can alleviate that would be awesome. I know as a mama of a special-needs kiddo that anxiety is a real thing and it’s a fine balance to manage it. 

I also think it would be cool if there was a couple more widget options that allowed to see subtasks, but still scroll through different main tasks .

Last but not least the biggest one for both my kids, and I, which has been the biggest driving force for us switching to other applications is the need for an Apple Watch application. The kids cannot manage carrying their tablets around while they do their routines. They can’t leave them sat down because they get anxious about the timer when they can’t see it and even the phone is one more thing to have to carry while they’re trying to do all these other things they already struggle with. Being able to have the application on a smart watch would be the ultimate game changer and I don’t think we would ever have any reason to move away from using Brili.

### 3/5 — Good, not great

*2025-05-29*

I love the concept of this app, it's exactly what I'm looking for to help my son get through his morning and bedtime routines without me hovering and nagging to keep him on track every time he gets distracted. I would like to suggest some changes/fixes to the program.
Adding a feature that allows me to approve/reject steps of his routine would be golden. Right now he gets stars if he swipes the task as "done" ... even if it's not done. There is a way for me to go in and manually remove stars, but I'd prefer for the app to tell my son his tasks are under review, and he'll get the stars when I verify he did them.

Another change that would be awesome would be changing the reward system to be able to switch to a different reward if you have enough stars for it. Right now, my son picks a "reward" before he earns the stars, and then he's stuck with that one until he has finished earning it. I'd prefer the stars work more like money. If he has enough stars, he can use them to buy whatever reward option he wants. 

Finally, I'd love for the app to have a feature for "skipping" parts of routines. My son's bedtime routine includes a shower, but some days he doesn't need one, so it would be great if we could skip it and move on. But there's no way to skip that step other than to swipe that it's "done" and get stars awarded as if you completed it.

### 4/5 — It would be perfect.

*2024-10-21, version 3.3.9*

If there was a version of this with just the singular account this would get five stars.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2024-09-16, version 3.3.9*

This is a fantastic way to provide visual (and audio, if you choose) prompts to help children keep moving with self-care tasks. This was a game changer for our family and helping to establish healthy routines and remind everyone of the important every day must-do’s! Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Less stressful mornings

*2022-12-14, version 3.3.7*

This keeps my adhd 3rd grader on track. She uses it every morning and has time to spare before school. It gives her a sense of independence because I no longer have to ask her every few minutes if she’s staying on track. I wish I had discovered this app when we had to homeschool during Covid.

### 1/5 — I use this for me

*2022-07-10, version 3.3.5*

I use this for me to make sure I don't skip steps even when tired or unmotivated. However the UX is difficult. I wish you could search the built in routine options or go back if the item you selected wasn't what you were looking for. no watch support

### 1/5 — Not child friendly

*2022-04-30, version 3.3.5*

Not child friendly

### 5/5 — Voice Notifications?

*2022-02-26, version 3.3.3*

I LOVE this app and use it every day. One of my favorite features is the voice notification letting you know how much time is left and then telling you the next task to complete. If the adult app was as interesting and stimulating as the kids app, I’d use that app instead. The adult app doesn’t have these features, so I’ll keep using the kids app for now!
