DoorReady
Work backward from a clear leaving time. A child sees one next step, while a caregiver can see the buffer, adjust the plan, and keep the steps that truly matter.
What it solves
Turn “hurry up” into one next step
DoorReady is not a habit game, reward chart, or monitoring tool. It puts the deadline, steps, buffer, and final check on one calm runway.
One step at a time
The child run keeps attention on the current action, with help, pause, and caregiver takeover always reachable.
See the remaining buffer
When the morning changes, the runway explains the remaining margin in plain factual language.
Protect required steps
When time is tight, adjustable steps can be compressed without silently removing steps a caregiver marked required.
Finish with a ready check
Check shoes, bag, door card, coat, or the items your family chose before showing Ready.
Local first
No account or cloud sync is required. Settings, plans, and factual records stay on the device and can be exported or deleted from the caregiver area.
Who it is for
For mornings that need a clearer rhythm
DoorReady is for caregivers and children ages 3–8 who want a small, understandable departure plan. It never judges how quickly a child moves and never turns family life into a score.
When time gets tight
Recalculate from the current moment, see what can change, and keep the required steps.
When a child needs help
The child can ask for help from the current step, while a caregiver can pause or take over.
When reminders are not wanted
Local reminders are optional. Manual start remains available if notification permission is declined.
