How it works

A calm child board, with flexibility behind the scenes.

Parents set the day and context in Parent Management. Children mainly see what is happening now, next and later, without all configuration appearing on their board.

Quick start

Start with today and expand only when it helps.

You do not need to configure every feature first. One child and a few activities for today are enough to get started.

1

Add your child

Create one or more child profiles and choose the basic child-board settings.

2

Build the first day

Add activities or a bundle and divide the plan across morning, afternoon and evening.

3

Add people & places when relevant

Create for example Mum, Dad, Grandma, Babysitter or Camp and use a Base week and Exceptions when the week needs them.

4

Add support selectively

Use Look ahead, special days, feelings, Rules & stars and savings goals only when they add something useful for your family.

Daily planning

Build the day the way it actually happens.

01

Planning is about sequence and expectation, not filling a calendar. You can start simply and add more structure later without making the child board busy.

  • Activities and reusable bundles
  • Morning, afternoon and evening with an optional time
  • Show items side by side or as a group
  • Transport, recurrence, prominent display and Look ahead where useful

Who am I with?

People and places without a complicated schedule.

02

The Week overview shows the resolved result for each child. Below that, you manage People & places, the normal Base week and only the Exceptions that differ from it.

  • People & places such as Mum, Dad, Grandma, Babysitter, Camp or a sleepover
  • A Base week for the normal rhythm
  • Exceptions for one day, a period or an existing special period
  • A handover can automatically appear in the daily plan

Look ahead

Make changes visible before they become surprises.

03

Special days are managed for the family as a whole. On the right, you see what actually appears in Look ahead for the selected child.

  • Holidays, school-free days, celebrations and custom special periods
  • Assign them to one or more children
  • Up to three upcoming items shown prominently, with later items under ‘After that’
  • A special period can also drive an Exception in ‘Who am I with?’

Child board

Today remains the visual anchor.

04

The child board is deliberately calmer than Parent Management. Day view keeps today central; week view adds context without turning every area into a control.

  • Day and week view with swipe navigation
  • Tomorrow and surrounding days as calm context
  • Who or where the child is can be shown with name, icon or both
  • Look ahead, feelings and Rules & stars complement the plan

Multiple children

One household, an appropriate plan for each child.

05

Each child has their own planning and context. Shared elements can be assigned to multiple children so you do not need to manage everything twice.

  • Quickly switch between children
  • Separate planning and settings per child
  • Assign rules, special days and other shared elements to multiple children
  • Parent Management remains workable from one to several children

Extra support

Use only what helps your family.

06

Not every family needs the same tools. Supporting features are there to make planning clearer, not to create more administration.

  • Feelings with a simple visual choice
  • Rules scored with 0, ½ or 1 star
  • Savings goals linked to earned stars
  • Built-in guidance in Parent Management for the main areas

Offline & privacy

The core stays on the device.

This Way Today is local-first. In the current version, child profiles, planning, Who am I with? settings and other family data are stored locally and the core app remains usable without an internet connection.
