A visual schedule for children who do better with one clear step at a time.
Same layout, same order, every day. Nothing moves unless a parent moves it.
Also works well for any family who wants a simpler routine.
Real screens from the app.
Some children can't hold onto a routine, even when it's repeated every day. RoutineNest stays exactly the same, every time.
A routine a parent sets once, and a child can trust every day.
Routines come pre-filled with sensible defaults. Adjust in minutes.
One task, front and centre. Just the next thing.
A tap. A check. On to the next step.
Morning, after school and evening, laid out the same way every day.
Tasks a child ticks off. Their own, or shared.
Attach a dollar value to any chore. RoutineNest does the math.
Export any routine as a printable page for an OT, school aide, or co-parent.
School events, weekly activities, or a whole term imported from a PDF. You confirm before anything is saved.
One family. Every phone, the same information.
Free works on its own. No trial, no reminders to upgrade.
Premium is for families who want pocket-money tracking, a second child, or the family calendar.
A reward appearing mid-task can distract a child who overstimulates easily.
The layout doesn't change with app updates. Predictability is the feature.
Each child has their own routine. A chore can still be a team job.
RoutineNest follows the same visual-schedule principles used in OT practice: one task in view, consistent structure, no unexpected changes between sessions.
If you work with a family who'd benefit from this kind of structure at home, including families accessing OT through NDIS-funded supports, a parent can export any routine as a printable page. No login to view it, no app needed to read it.
We'd like to hear from therapists using this in practice, so get in touch below.
A short list of Australian organisations we would point any parent to, grouped by what you are trying to sort out. They already do this better than we could, so we link to them.
RoutineNest is heading into a small beta on iPhone, through Apple's TestFlight. We would like a handful of Australian families to use it for real, and tell us honestly what is wrong with it.
Email us and we will add you when the beta opens. Send the email address your Apple ID uses, because that is where the TestFlight invitation goes.
