Now and Next Lite vs Visual Schedule

Show a child what is happening now, and what is happening next. Now and Next takes the part of the day that is hardest to explain and makes it something a child can see. Put the current activity on one side of a card and the one that comes after it on the other, and “we're leaving the playground after this” stops being an argument and becomes a picture to point at. Teachers and therapists usually call it a first-then board. It is the same idea, and the app does both. It was built by parents, and it is used at home, in preschool and elementary classrooms, and in therapy sessions: with autistic children, with children who have ADHD, with children whose speech and language is still developing, and with any young child whose day goes better when they can see it laid out. Now and Next Lite is the free way to find out whether it works for your child before you spend anything. WHAT LITE GIVES YOU • Two Now and Next cards • One prompt card, offering a choice of two or three pictures • Three custom activities of your own • All 60+ built-in activities, the Time Line, spoken activities and your own wording NOW AND NEXT CARDS Pick two activities and the card is made. Tap a picture to hear the activity read aloud. If your family or your classroom says something other than “Now” and “Next,” change the wording to the words you already use. CHOICES, WITH TWO OR THREE PICTURES Ask with pictures instead of words. A prompt card holds a question and two or three answers — milk or water, playground or backyard, which book at bedtime — so a child can answer by pointing. TIME LINE Put your cards in order and the Time Line runs the routine for you. Each card stays up for as long as you set, then moves on by itself, with an optional friendly sound as it changes. 60+ ACTIVITIES, AND ROOM FOR YOUR OWN More than 60 illustrated activities come with the app, covering home and school from breakfast and brushing teeth to school, nap time and the dentist. Adding your own is just as easy: take a photo, choose one from your library, or create a picture with Image Playground on supported devices. IN YOUR LANGUAGE The app follows your device language in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian, including the names of the built-in activities. Anything you typed yourself stays exactly as you wrote it. UNLOCKING THE FULL VERSION One in-app purchase, with no subscription, lifts every limit: as many cards and prompt cards as you need, as many custom activities as you want to make, backing up and restoring what you have built, and no more ads. Everything you have already created stays exactly where it is. ADS AND PRIVACY Lite is paid for by ads, which appear while you use it. You are asked once whether you are willing to allow tracking so those ads can be personalized; saying no is a normal way to use the app, and you can change your answer later in Settings. Unlocking the full version removes the ads and that data collection altogether. Whatever you create stays on your device. Your photos, activities and cards are not collected or shared, and there is no account to create and no sign-in.

Help your child navigate their day with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind. Our Visual Schedule app is designed specifically for neurodiverse children—including those with Autism (ASD), ADHD, Down syndrome, and sensory processing differences—to help them understand, track, and master their daily routines. By transforming abstract time into a concrete, interactive visual timeline, the app reduces transition anxiety and builds meaningful daily independence. Whether used on a phone on-the-go or pinned on an iPad as a stationary countertop dashboard, our flexible interface adapts to your child’s needs. WHY CHOOSE A VISUAL SCHEDULE? For many neurodiverse children, seeing "what comes next" is the key to a calm transition. This app replaces complex checklists with clear, color-coded visual blocks and recognizable icon anchors, making time management entirely intuitive.
