Features & Capabilities

Help your child build independence with calm visual routines and parent-friendly behavior logging. Free, private, and built for autism families.

Anchor helps parents of children with autism build structured, visual daily routines that foster independence and reduce anxiety. Built by a special needs dad.

Anchor was born from the daily reality of raising a child with autism. We couldn't find tools that were both clinically useful and genuinely pleasant to use. So we built one.

HOW IT WORKS

Parents create visual routines (morning, school, bedtime — anything) on their phone. Children follow them on their own device through a simple, calming interface designed for sensory-friendly interaction.

FOR PARENTS • Create unlimited daily routines with visual tasks • Set timers for timed activities (brushing teeth, homework) • Break complex tasks into step-by-step mini-schedules • Add rewards and motivators to keep your child engaged • Track progress with analytics, streaks, and completion data • Record prompt levels (independent → verbal → physical) for IEP evidence • Get notifications for routine reminders and missed starts • View daily activity timeline showing everything your child accomplished

FOR KIDS • One task at a time — calm, clear, predictable • Fun celebrations and confetti on every completion • Built-in sensory breaks (breathing exercises, movement breaks) • Choice boards that build autonomy ("Pick your shirt!") • Token boards — earn stars toward a big reward • First-Then motivators ("First homework, Then iPad") • Works on their own iPad or phone

DESIGNED FOR AUTISM • Sensory-friendly: soft colors, gentle animations, no sudden sounds • Predictable: same layout, same interactions, every time • Visual-first: icons and images, minimal text • Customizable: every child is different, every routine can be personalized • Independence-building: the goal is for your child to need less help over time

THERAPIST-FRIENDLY • Prompt level tracking aligned with ABA standards • Activity logs with timestamps for progress documentation • Data your BCBA, OT, or school team can actually use

NO ADS. NO DATA SELLING. EVER. Your family's data belongs to your family. Period.

User Reviews

This app has been great for my son with level 3 autism. We went from leveraging a velcro board to leveraging this app and this has enabled him to gain quite a bit of independence. Would highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation.
