VizuStep

One calm step at a time. VizuStep turns an everyday routine into a short run of picture cards. The person following it sees one card at a time β a picture, a few words, a familiar voice if you record one, and a timer only where a timer helps. Nothing hurries anybody. Make a routine for a child, for an adult you support, for an older relative β or for yourself. It runs on their own phone or tablet, or on the same phone you planned it on, with optional caregiver-configured PIN protection. WHO IT IS FOR A child who does better with a picture than a sentence. An autistic adult, or an adult with an intellectual disability, who wants the steps without being managed. An older relative who wakes up unsure what happens next. And anyone who would rather see the next step than hold the whole morning in their head. WHAT YOU BUILD - Cards of a few words each, in the order you choose - 357 built-in pictures, searchable in your own language - Your own photo of the real cupboard, the real bus stop, the real toothbrush - Your own voice on a card, and one welcome recording to open the day - A timer that counts up or down β it never sounds, and it never moves anybody on - Eight ready-made routines to start from: morning, bedtime, brushing teeth, getting dressed, leaving the house, laundry, making a sandwich, winding down in the evening ON THEIR DEVICE, OR YOURS - Connect their phone or tablet with a code or a QR, confirm it on your phone; no PIN is required - See what was done, what was skipped, what help was asked for, and when - Help is on every card. It sends you a message β it is not an alarm and an optional Call helper button calls your configured number. - A step can ask for a photo. You approve it, or ask for another try with a kind note. - Nothing looks at the photo. No AI, no face recognition, no judgement of anybody. IT WORKS WITHOUT A CONNECTION Routines appear and run with no internet. The pictures and the recordings are already on the device. What was done is kept there and sent when the signal comes back. PRIVATE No ads. No analytics. Nothing sold. Photos, recordings, people's names and the record of what was done are never sent to a model. You can delete a photo, a routine, a person, or your whole account. TEN LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese and Chinese β the app, the names of the built-in pictures, and the routines it drafts. WHAT THIS VERSION COSTS Nothing. Everything you set up by hand is free, with no limit: people, routines, cards, pictures, your own photos and recordings, devices, reminders, timers, every language. The parts a model writes are included in this version as well β a routine written from one sentence, a routine dictated instead of typed, and AI changes to steps: smaller steps, simpler words, what is missing. There is nothing to buy inside the app. A PLANNING AID, NOT MEDICAL CARE VizuStep is not medical care, not proof that a medicine was taken, and not an emergency or safety system. A tap, a photo or a timer records what somebody did in the app, and nothing more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VizuStep at none against Professor Ary's 2. VizuStep also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
