Picture cards make "what's next" easy to see. When kids can see it, they can do it themselves. "I did it!" feels good — and that good feeling is what makes them want to try again tomorrow. Esilbe is a picture-card schedule app that helps families ride that positive cycle together. Built on the visual schedule and structured-teaching ideas used in early-intervention settings, it turns everyday routines into a string of small "I did it!" moments. [What you can do] ā–  Build the day with friendly picture cards Pick from 100+ built-in cards to put together morning, afternoon, and evening routines in seconds. Analog clock cards make "what time" easy to share, too. ā–  Tap to mark each step done Each step lines up as a picture card. Tap when it's done — that's it. Simple enough for a parent and child to work through it side by side. ā–  A hanamaru for every "I did it!" Tap a card when it's done and a hanamaru — the flower-circle Japanese teachers draw on great work — is stamped on it. Finish them all for a big one. "You did it!" — the app celebrates with you. ā–  The week ahead, at a glance Lay out picture cards for the next seven days, starting today, so "what are we doing tomorrow?" feels exciting, not uncertain. Knowing what comes next helps kids feel safe. ā–  Make cards from your own photos Snap your child's actual toothbrush, the shoes they love, the snack they always ask for — and turn them into cards. Routines built from "Hey, I know that one!" land very differently from generic clip art. ā–  Calm, kid-friendly design Soft, calm colors, rounded shapes, and reduced visual noise help kids focus on the task in front of them. Dark mode keeps things gentle around bedtime, too. ā–  Look back, build confidence A calendar fills up with hanamaru on the days they did it. "We did it yesterday, we did it today" — small wins that add up to real confidence. ā–  Plus the basics - Keep-screen-on for uninterrupted routines - Card orientation: portrait or landscape - Timer that shows how much time is left - Picture-card quiz for playing with words - Data stored on-device — works fully offline [Made for families who want to] - Add visual support for a child who finds words alone hard to follow - Try picture-card communication at home in a low-pressure way - Make morning prep, therapy sessions, or the school commute feel a little lighter - Cheer "you did it!" together as a family Esilbe brings the "build a sense of what comes next" and "structure the day" ideas from early-intervention practice into your kitchen and your couch, in a form anyone can pick up. Let's celebrate the small wins, together. [About usage] Core features are free. Some features are available with the optional "Esilbe Plus" subscription, offered in two plans (Monthly / Annual).
