Steady Heroes turns everyday routines into something a child can see, follow, and finish at their own pace. Each "hero" gets their own visual routine, broken into simple steps. Tap through them one at a time, with an optional focus timer to help stay on track - and no penalty if it runs out. When things feel like too much, the built-in calm break offers a no-pressure pause with its own gentle timer. Finished steps earn stars, which can be spent on a reward menu you set up together. If you'd rather track a real allowance, turn on money mode and Steady Heroes will work out what each step is worth. Built for families raising neurodivergent kids, anxious kids, or anyone who does better with structure - but flexible enough for any household that wants routines without a fight. FEATURES - Step-by-step visual routines for each hero - Optional focus timer, never punitive if it runs out - Calm break with its own timer, no time limit required - Star rewards with a fully customizable reward menu - Optional cash allowance tracking - Face ID / Touch ID to confirm a parent is approving a step - Reduce motion setting for sensory sensitivity - One gentle daily reminder - nothing pushy PRIVATE BY DESIGN Steady Heroes works entirely on your device. There's no account, no server, no ads, and no analytics. Everything you enter stays with you - see our full privacy policy for details. Steady Heroes is a support tool, not a substitute for professional therapy or medical advice.
