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. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Vimo Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available as a monthly or a yearly plan. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you confirm any purchase.

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 colour-coded plan they can read — a colour 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.
