The app is designed to be inclusive and is aimed in particular at people with learning difficulties and cognitive impairments in the areas of work, home, school, household, etc.

The app makes it easy to create simple instructions for work processes. You can use pictures and text to make them colorful and motivating. Checklists, timers and a review function help.

Job coaches also benefit from the app. Together with their clients, they determine what is important for their tasks.
