Dayrow

Build your child's day as a row of pictures they can actually follow โ€” first this, then that. Dayrow lays out a morning, a bedtime or a Saturday as a line of cards. Your child works through them on their own screen: one giant picture for what is happening now, a smaller one for what comes next, and nothing else to touch. DRAWN, NOT BORROWED 171 picture cards, drawn for Dayrow by one hand as a single set. No clip art, no stock icons, no image library. Thirteen categories, from waking up to bedtime, school, feelings and the moments in between. A SCREEN BUILT FOR A CHILD WHO CANNOT READ โ€ข One card at a time, big enough to read across a room โ€ข Tap to finish a step โ€” a calm animation, and a sound and a soft tap you can each switch off โ€ข A quiet timer that empties like a shape, never a number โ€ข A sticker lands when a routine is done โ€ข No menus, no links, and โ€” once you set a passcode โ€” no way out without it โ€ข The screen stays awake only while a routine is running FOR THE ADULT SETTING IT UP โ€ข Build a routine in about a minute; drag the cards to reorder them โ€ข Put your own wording on any card โ€ข High-contrast cards and VoiceOver throughout, never behind a paywall IN DAYROW PRO โ€ข Every card in the set, not just the free forty โ€ข A profile for each child, with their own routines and stickers โ€ข As many routines as the day needs โ€ข As many photo cards as you need: a real mum, the real school gate, the actual bus โ€ข Record a voice your child knows saying the step โ€ข Print the very same row as a strip for the fridge or the classroom NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE Dayrow has no analytics, no accounts and no servers of ours. The only network it touches is Apple's App Store, to sell and restore Dayrow Pro. What you make stays on the device you made it on. NOTHING IS MEASURED Dayrow keeps no score, no history and no percentages of how your child did. If you are looking for that, Dayrow is deliberately not the app. ONE PAYMENT Free to try: 40 cards, one child, one routine and three photo cards โ€” enough to build a complete morning, or a complete bedtime, and run it every day. Dayrow Pro unlocks the rest, once. No subscription. Dayrow is a visual support tool. It is not medical advice, it does not diagnose or treat anything, and it does not measure your child.

Verdict

The call

Dayrow and Visual Schedule are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
