We're building Pictoguide: Visual planning made simple

We’re building Pictoguide — a modern visual planning tool designed to bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and other cognitive or developmental challenges.

The goal is to make daily routines easier to follow through visual guides, pictograms, and customizable schedules – all wrapped in an intuitive and flexible web app.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or therapist, Pictoguide aims to help the people you care for gain independence and reduce stress in everyday life.

Key features (planned):

  • Visual schedules & routines
    Create step-by-step visual plans using pictograms and colors to support clarity and predictability.

  • Multi-user support for institutions
    Ideal for schools, group homes, and day programs: create and manage structured plans for multiple individuals.

  • Reminders & checklists
    Timed notifications and visual checkmarks help users stay on track and complete their tasks.

  • Progress tracking
    See at a glance whether plans are followed – including delays, skipped steps, and completion rates.

  • User feedback system
    Let users give quick feedback on how a task went (e.g. 👍 / 😐 / 👎 or smiley faces) – great for spotting patterns.

  • Reports & analytics
    Generate usage statistics and export insights that help improve structure, support, and communication.

  • Privacy-first
    Designed with data sensitivity in mind – especially important when working with vulnerable individuals.

  • Custom pictogram library
    Use built-in pictograms or upload your own visuals to match each user's needs and preferences.

  • Accessible from any device
    Web-based and responsive: works on tablets, phones, and desktops with no installation needed.

The project is in its early phase. If this sounds useful to you, check out pictoguide.com – we’re just getting started!
