"Brush your teeth!", "Put on your shoes!", "Hurry up!"... You know these phrases by heart. Tikido transforms these moments into a positive experience. Your child sees their routine as clear steps, with visual timers that help them understand the passage of time.

Visual timers Each step can have a timer with an animated disk. Your child sees the remaining time concretely, reducing anxiety and conflicts. Manual or automatic steps Some steps need a timer (teeth brushing: 2 min), others just need validation (putting on shoes). Tikido adapts. Customizable end sounds 9 sounds available to signal the end of a timer. Choose the one your child likes! Multi-child, multi-routine Manage multiple children and run multiple routines in parallel. Each child has their own track with an animated avatar. Child-friendly interface Warm pastel design, large buttons, personalized avatars.

Visual routines that help kids feel calm, capable, and proud. Charty turns the morning rush, the bedtime drag, and every routine in between into a clear list of pictures your child can follow on their own. Tap. Tick. Earn a star. Watch the day come together. Built for kids aged 4 to 10 — and especially helpful for children with autism, ADHD, or anyone who thrives on predictable, visual structure — Charty replaces shouting and reminders with a tool the kid actually wants to use. WHY FAMILIES LOVE CHARTY • Picture-first routines — every task shows a friendly icon, so even pre-readers can run their own morning. • Let them choose — build a set of 2 to 6 pictures and drop it into a routine, so "What's for breakfast?" becomes a step your child answers themselves. Or open one on its own, any time. • A color-coded plan they can read — a color for every day, a picture card for every activity, and a whole month at a glance with days gone by crossed off. Date a one-off so the zoo trip lands on one Saturday, not every Saturday, and page ahead to next month. • Tick from the Home Screen — the interactive widget marks tasks done without opening the app, and an Apple Watch app puts the routine on their wrist. • Print it for the fridge — export the week or the whole month as a PDF, plus a one-page progress report for school or therapy. Both Charty Plus. • Real rewards your kid cares about — set up "30 min iPad", "ice cream" or "trip to the park". Earn stars by ticking tasks; spend them when ready. • Built-in picture puzzle — an optional reward where each piece is unlocked by completing routines. Hand-illustrated scenes, or a family photo. • Gentle timers, and your own voice — give a task a visual countdown, and record yourself reading it aloud so your child hears you, not text-to-speech. • 11 celebration styles — confetti, balloons, fireworks, calm wave, dinosaurs, toy cars, robots and more. Every finished chart is its own little party, with a calm mode for overwhelm days. • Sensory-aware — full Reduce Motion support, optional sounds, calm-mode that strips celebrations back. • Accessibility-first — VoiceOver labels throughout, Dynamic Type to AX5, Bold Text, Differentiate Without Color, contrast checked on every background. • Parent gate — Settings sit behind a PIN or Face ID, so kids can't rewrite the rules. • One app, every kid — each child gets their own charts, their own star balance, and their own progress. • iCloud sync — the same charts, points, and progress on every device in the family. • 7 languages — English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Brazilian and European Portuguese. • iPad-ready — full-screen layout with a 2-column chart grid. FREE TO USE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UNLOCK Charty is free to download and genuinely usable that way: two charts, five tasks each, one child — enough for a real morning and bedtime routine, forever, with no time limit and no ads. Charty Plus is a single one-time purchase — never a subscription. It unlocks unlimited charts and tasks, multiple children, recorded voice prompts, task timers, parent insights, the interactive widget and Watch app, every theme and celebration, and printable charts. Buy once — it works across your family's devices. PRIVACY AS A VALUE, NOT A TAGLINE • Zero tracking, zero ads, zero analytics • No third-party SDKs; no data leaves the device unless you turn on iCloud sync (to your own account only) • Photos you add to the puzzle stay on your devices • Crash reports go through Apple's built-in metrics only — never shared with us MADE WITH CARE FOR ONE SPECIFIC FAMILY — AND NOW YOURS Charty was built by a parent who wanted something better than another generic chore-chart app. Every default, every animation, every word was chosen to feel kind. Whether your child is neurotypical or has additional needs, Charty meets them where they are. Visual routines. Calm celebrations. A kid who can do it themselves.
