Turn chaotic mornings and bedtimes into calm, step-by-step routines — with visuals your child can actually follow on their own. Vimo is the visual routine app for families who want less chaos and more consistency. Build a routine once, then hand the screen to your child. HOW IT WORKS 1. Build a routine — add steps with pictures, names and optional timers 2. Hand it to your child — they tap through each step independently 3. Celebrate — Vimo cheers every completed routine THE QUICK BOARD Some moments need a plan right now, not a routine you set up last week. Drop a few cards on the board, and your child drags each one from "To do" to "Done" — the same left-to-right structure used in visual therapy. When the last card lands, Vimo celebrates. NEW: TALK — A VOICE FOR EVERY WORD Some children speak with pictures. The Talk board keeps their core vocabulary in one place, sorted by topic: your child taps a card and Vimo says the word out loud. Tap a few cards in a row and Vimo reads the whole sentence back. The suggestion row learns from how your child uses the board, so the words they reach for most are always within reach — and it stays on their device. FEATURES • Morning and bedtime charts, school checklists, and chore routines for toddlers and older children • Visual step-by-step routines with large, clear imagery • Quick Board — drag-and-drop sequences you can build in seconds • Talk — tap-to-speak picture cards in 13 categories, with sentence building • Today view — the right routine is always one tap away • Child profiles with separate progress tracking • Countdown timers for steps that need extra structure • Use your own photos, or pick from the illustrated Vimo library • Sounds and celebration moments to encourage completion WHO IT'S FOR Vimo works well for any family and is especially helpful for children who thrive with visual guidance and predictable structure — including children with autism, ADHD, sensory differences, or who simply do better with clear expectations. FREE & PRO Free: 2 routines with up to 5 steps each, 1 child profile, 3 cards per board, and the starter illustrations. Pro: unlimited routines and steps, multiple child profiles, unlimited board cards, and the complete Vimo illustration library. Download Vimo and build calmer days for your whole family.
