About OwnMyDay

The visual schedule app we wished existed.

OwnMyDay is a modern, private, genuinely useful visual schedule builder — for parents, therapists, and educators supporting children with autism, ADHD, sensory differences, and any child who thrives on knowing what comes next.

01 — Clinician-led

Built on real therapy practice

Co-founder Sue-Hayley is a working OT. Every tile shape, prompt, and interaction was pressure-tested on real kids, in real sessions, before it shipped.

02 — Actually modern

Not stuck in 2012

Most visual schedule apps feel like they were made on a PalmPilot. OwnMyDay is built on modern tooling, runs offline, and doesn't cover the screen in ads.

03 — Respects privacy

Your child's photos stay yours

Your family's photos and schedules are private — yours alone. No ad trackers, no data selling. Ever.

What's inside

Four schedule formats, one calm app.

We didn't want a separate app for every use case. One tool. Every shape of day.

General Visual Schedule

The anchor of the app. Build a routine of up to 6 tiles — morning, bedtime, after-school, transitions between therapies — and walk through it one tile at a time.

  • Drag to reorder on the fly
  • Tap to mark complete
  • Save and reuse across days
  • Big, warm visuals kids recognise

First / Then and First / Then / Next

The calm-before-transition tools. Two or three tiles — just enough to see that the hard thing is followed by the fun thing. Great for preventing overwhelm.

Finish Board

A to-do board with zero pressure. Tap a tile as each step is done; it moves to the finished side. Perfect for homework, chores, and any task list that needs a visible end.

Why we're different

Most visual schedule apps do half the job.

We'd rather not name names — but if you've tried one, you know.
