AutismChildOS

A daily structure tool built for the autistic child to use, with parent support. Different from parent-side trackers - this app puts the child in the driver seat with picture-led, low-density, big-button screens designed for kid hands. Six tabs. One private offline file. Yours forever for one price. Today opens with an AAC-style talk grid - Yes, No, Help, Break, Water, Bathroom - that works for kids who speak and kids who do not. Tap a tile and the app speaks the phrase aloud while showing it to a grown-up. Same screen shows the next routine step, transition warnings (5-minute, 2-minute, Now - spoken aloud), six big feelings buttons, and the brave-moments count. The Schedule tab is a fully visual day grouped into Morning, School, After-school, Evening and Bedtime, each step a picture icon plus simple words, tap-to-mark-done with a big green box, fresh reset every morning. Feelings has six emotion faces and a six-zone body map. Sensory has eight quick what-helps tiles - quiet room, weighted blanket, headphones, fidget, sunglasses, hug, cold water, rock and sway - plus a try-it food log built around a no-pressure 1-bite goal. Brave celebrates no-meltdown days, brave moments and acts of kindness, and includes six social stories for new situations: dentist, new teacher, fire drill, sleepover at grandma, haircut day and going to the doctor. Settings holds the child profile, demo data load, full reset, JSON export and import, and persistent-storage request. Every input saves locally. Nothing goes to a server. No account, no subscription, no app store, no annual fee. Works on laptop in any browser, and adds to your iPhone, iPad or Android home screen as a standalone app for offline use - perfect for travel, doctor waiting rooms, school drop-off and bedtime.
