Visual Day helps parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists turn everyday routines into clear, calm, visual steps. It's built for adults who support children that thrive with predictability — including autistic children, children with ADHD, and early learners — so "what's happening now and what's next" is 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 we do that." • Token Boards — earn tokens toward a reward to build motivation and follow-through. DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILIES AND CLASSROOMS • Kid Mode — a full-screen, distraction-free view with big touch targets for little hands, while editing stays with you. • A built-in library of clear symbols, plus your own photos — kept private on your device and never uploaded to our servers. • 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. SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM • Send a view-only link to a co-parent, teacher, therapist, or babysitter. They don't need an account, and they can save their own copy. Names and personal photos are never included, and links expire after 7 days. TRACK PROGRESS • See streaks and completions over time to spot what's working. • Manage boards for multiple children from one place. PRINT & GO (PRO) • Export any board as a clean PDF to cut, laminate, and reuse — for the fridge, the classroom, or on the go. WORKS EVERYWHERE • Universal app for iPhone and iPad, plus the web at visual-day.com. 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. Photos you add stay on your device and are never uploaded. Creating a child profile requires a parent's or guardian's consent, in line with COPPA and GDPR. SUBSCRIPTION Visual Day is free with up to 2 boards and 3 children — including all three board types, Kid Mode, sharing, reminders, and timers. Visual Day Pro adds unlimited boards and children, PDF export and printing, and full progress history. • Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription, billed through your Apple ID. Current prices for your region are shown in the app before you subscribe. • 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?

Ready Binder helps parents prepare for, participate in, and follow up on their child's IEP (Individualized Education Program) meetings. BEFORE THE MEETING • Import your child's IEP draft — PDF, photo, or camera scan • Get a plain-English brief that explains what the IEP actually says • Receive suggested questions organized by category (services, goals, accommodations, placement, and more) • See a change summary when a revised IEP is uploaded DURING THE MEETING • Track question outcomes with one tap — answered, deferred, needs follow-up • Take inline notes on each question • Record the meeting with on-device speech recognition (Pro) — audio stays on your device, only the transcript is saved AFTER THE MEETING • Auto-generated debrief summarizes decisions, open items, and next steps • Follow-up task checklist so nothing falls through the cracks • Draft follow-up email ready to review and send • Export a branded PDF binder to share with your advocate or co-parent AI ASSISTANT (Pro) Ask questions about your child's IEP in a chat grounded in IDEA (the federal special education law) and your state's terminology. The assistant helps you understand — it never gives legal advice. DESIGNED FOR PARENTS Ready Binder is built by a parent, for parents. Your IEP data is yours — we don't share it with schools, districts, or advertisers. AI processing does not train general AI models. FREE TIER • One child, one full binder cycle (import → brief → questions → meeting → debrief → email → PDF export) • 3 Assistant messages to try the chat READY BINDER PRO • Unlimited children and binders • Unlimited Assistant chat • Live meeting recording with AI summary • Re-import revised IEPs and re-run the AI workflow anytime Ready Binder is an organizational and educational tool. It is not legal advice. AI-generated content is a starting point — always verify details against the source IEP and with your child's team.
