Visual Day helps parents, caregivers, and teachers turn everyday routines into clear, calm, visual steps. Built for children who thrive with predictability — including autistic kids, ADHD, and early learners — it makes "what's happening now and what's next" easy to see. THREE KINDS OF BOARDS • Visual Schedules — lay out a full routine step by step, and check tasks off as you go. • First-Then — the simplest way to show "first we do this, then you get that." • Token Boards — earn tokens toward a reward to build motivation and follow-through. DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILIES • Kid Mode — a full-screen, distraction-free view with big touch targets, made for little hands. • Hundreds of clear symbols built in plus your own photos (all private -- even we do not store them). • Drag to reorder tasks, set optional countdown timers, and add gentle routine reminders. • Optional voice output reads tasks and rewards aloud. • Celebrate finishing with satisfying confetti. TRACK PROGRESS • See streaks and completions over time to spot what's working. • Manage boards for multiple children from one place. PRINT & GO • Export any board as a clean PDF to cut, laminate, and reuse — perfect for the fridge, classroom, or on the go. WORKS EVERYWHERE • Universal app for iPhone and iPad. Your boards sync to your account so they're ready on every device. Visual Day is a supportive tool for building routines and independence. It is not a medical or therapeutic device. PRIVACY & SECURITY Your family's data stays yours. Boards and progress are tied to your private account and synced over encrypted connections — never sold, with no third-party advertising. Any photos you add are used only on your device and are never uploaded to our servers — they stay with you. Creating a child profile requires your consent, in line with COPPA and GDPR. SUBSCRIPTION Visual Day is free to use with up to 3 boards and 3 children — including all three board types, Kid Mode, reminders, and timers. Upgrade to Visual Day Pro for unlimited boards & children, PDF export, and advanced progress tracking. • Price: $9.99/$39.99 per month/year, billed through your Apple ID. • Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://visual-day.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://visual-day.com/privacy Questions or feedback?
