Made for kids with ADHD and autism · Grown-ups stay in control
Executive function support that feels like play
Low-battery days are welcome
An energy check-in trims the routine down to the essentials when your child is running on empty.
A calm corner for big feelings
Sensory grounding, breathing and brain breaks are one tap away — no shame, no streaks to lose.
Celebration over correction
Energy orbs, confetti and a growing trophy room reward effort instead of punishing off-days.
A PIN-protected parent portal
Grown-ups set routines, review photo check-ins and track progress behind a private 4-digit PIN.
Built for pre-readers too
Picture-first steps and a friendly read-aloud voice mean kids can follow along before they can read.
How CortexBuddy works
1. Make a buddy card
Add a profile for each child and pick a theme — space, dinos, heroes or fantasy.
2. Add a routine
Morning, homework, bedtime. CortexBuddy breaks each task into tiny, doable steps.
3. Step through it together
Your child follows one step at a time, earns orbs and unlocks brain breaks and free play.

No ads, ever
There is no advertising anywhere in CortexBuddy, and we never sell or rent family data.
Child privacy first
A parent creates the account, child profiles are PIN-protected, and we follow COPPA — kids never sign up on their own.
5–15 minute sessions
Routines are short with one-minute steps, so your child can stop after any step and still feel finished.
Never gives the answer
With homework, Buddy coaches one step at a time — it guides your child to the answer instead of handing it over.
