About
From pictures to words.
pictos. builds step-by-step sequences for children who need to know what happens now and what comes next: with pictograms or your own photos, the real toothbrush, the school door. A sequence takes a few minutes to set up, and the schedule shows it one step at a time.
VISUAL SCHEDULE
- "Step by step": the whole plan as one list that scrolls. The current step large, what is done quietly above, what comes next below. Scrolling only looks; it never ticks off or skips anything.
- "First, then": the current step and the next one, both large, for children who need it that way. The rest stays in view below.
- "New": every plan on a grid of large cards. Each plan always starts at the first step, never halfway, and it can be undone.
- Tap a picture and the app reads it aloud.
- Mark each step as done, with calm feedback: no sudden sounds, no distracting animations.
- A visual timer per step: a disc that empties, with no ticking.
- Three example plans (morning, school, evening) to start with, and as many of your own as you need.
FOR ADULTS
- Build and reorder steps in a few minutes: find the pictogram by keyword or take a photo.
- Use photos from home: the real toothbrush, the school door. Each step carries the word you type.
- Choose the picture set: ARASAAC pictograms, Mulberry symbols or your own photos. Switching sets never changes a plan.
- The adult area sits behind a 3-second press and hold.
- With Apple Intelligence you can type the routine the way you'd say it and the app suggests the steps; the pictogram is always picked by a keyword search, and you check everything.
- Share a plan by WhatsApp or email as a link: on the other iPhone it opens in pictos., shows a preview first and is only added once confirmed. With your own photos, as a file.
PRACTISE AT HOME (EXTRA)
Cards for practising at home what your speech specialist works on: picture, word, and the word spoken aloud. By default the adult rates each attempt. As a trial, the app can also listen on the device itself; it only says "Well done!" when it is sure, and otherwise asks "Once more!". It never tells a child something was wrong. The practice words are currently Spanish.
PRIVACY
Free, no accounts, no ads, no purchases, no internet: it works in airplane mode. Plans, photos and history stay on your device; the privacy label says "Data Not Collected". Speech is recognised on the device and never stored.
pictos. supports everyday routines and practice at home; it does not replace any professional.
