  • Planwithout pressure
  • Built forreal life
  • Works forthe whole family
  • You decidehow much help you need

This is what I was trying to solve.

I didn't need another calendar.

I needed something that could help when someone:

  • knows what they need to do, but can't get started.
  • starts something, stops halfway, and needs a way back.
  • needs the next step instead of the whole list.
  • needs "first this, then that."
  • has a day that simply didn't go according to plan.

Most calendars are very good at telling you what you planned to do. I wanted something that could help with actually doing it.

Different days.
Same you.
We're here for that. ♡

A day with Here When You Are

A quick look at how it works, in real life.

1See today

Today

Get ready for school7:00 AM
Breakfast7:30 AM
Reading8:00 AM
Math practice9:00 AM

Everything that matters today, without needing to see everything else.

2Starting is sometimes the hardest part

First → Then

First

Get dressed

Then

Breakfast

Instead of figuring out the whole day, start with one thing.

3When it's time to do it, everything else can disappear

Get dressed

10:00

Steps (1/4)

Find clothes
Put on shirt
Put on pants
Socks and shoes

One task. One screen. As much, or as little, help as you want.

4Stopping doesn't mean failing

Take a break?

Pause task

Do later

Choose something else

Sometimes you start something and can't finish it right now. It's okay. You can pause, come back, choose something else, or try again later.

5Tomorrow is still there

Move to tomorrow?

Didn't get to everything? Move this task to tomorrow and keep going.

Move to tomorrow

Keep it today

The plan can change without the whole day feeling ruined.

What makes it different

A helper that stands beside you while you do the thing, and needs to do a little less as you get stronger.

  • The help turns down as they grow.

    Most apps have one setting, made for a busy adult. This one fits a five-year-old, a teenager and a parent on the same board, each with as much help as they need.

  • It's there in the hard minute.

    Not just when you're planning. A timer that's running, the next step when someone's stuck, a way to ask for help, and, when the time runs out, a kind choice about what to do next.

  • It never keeps score.

    No marks out of a hundred and no list of what didn't get done. What's left today simply carries over, and tomorrow is still there.

The Playground

All the little games and tools I've made with my kids, and a few my kids made themselves. Right now they're all free, and they're here for you to play with.

Made by a parent

I'm not a developer. I'm a parent who kept making little systems to help my own family through routines, starting tasks and changes of plan, and one day realized I was building a whole set of tools. Every part of Here When You Are came from a real morning in our house. It's run by me, not a company. There are no ads and no trackers, and your family's information is never sold or used to train anyone's AI.

Things will sometimes look a little odd. When they do, please tell me, and I'll fix what I can.
