Parents and carers
Make a quick routine around the child's actual environment instead of hunting through generic symbols or clip-art libraries.
Visual routines made simple
Build clear first, then, next boards with familiar photos.
SnapThen helps parents, carers, and supporting professionals create short visual routines using real photos, optional labels, and optional audio. It is designed to be super simple to use on the go, quick to set up, and easy to understand.
Useful alongside visual timetables, first-then boards, and AAC support. Not a replacement for specialist AAC systems.
No accounts
No cloud sync
Photos stay on the device

Made for real life
Use a coat, toothbrush, lunchbox, train station, classroom object, or any familiar everyday cue.

Why families use it
Built for transitions, routines, and what-happens-next moments.
SnapThen is for families who want a privacy-conscious visual support tool without accounts, feeds, cloud dashboards, or too many moving parts. It is also easy for SENCOs, teachers, therapists, and support staff to understand quickly.
Children who benefit from visual structure
Keep the focus on clear sequencing, familiar images, and calm transitions. Labels and audio can be added only when they genuinely help.
Professionals supporting families
Explain it quickly, try it safely, and see where it fits alongside existing AAC, PECS-style supports, visual timetables, and transition strategies.
In the moment
Show the next step with a familiar photo.
Open the board, point to the current step, and keep the focus on the real routine in front of you.
A quick look
Simple boards, real photos, ready when you need them.
SnapThen stays focused on the everyday loop: make a board quickly, open it when it helps, adjust it later, and keep photos on the device unless you choose to share or back up.
Keep the board list uncluttered
Open a board quickly, create a new one, or import one when you need it.
Choose a board name and step count
Keep routines short and specific so they are easier to understand and easier to use in real situations.
Play a simple visual sequence
Move through each step with large photos and a clear sense of what comes next.
Enlarge a step when the image needs to do the work
Useful when a larger visual cue is easier than extra text or explanation.
Reorder or refine the routine later
Adjust step order, add another step, or tidy the flow without starting again from scratch.
Move or recover your content when needed
Use board sharing and backup tools intentionally rather than relying on hidden cloud storage.
How it works
Three calm steps from everyday photo to finished routine.
01
Use familiar photos
Take photos or choose existing ones so the board reflects the child's own objects, places, activities, and transitions.
02
Build the order clearly
Set the sequence, keep labels short, and only add recorded audio when it genuinely improves clarity for that child.
03
Play it through and adjust
Open the board, move through the steps, enlarge the image if needed, and tweak the routine later when real life changes.

Questions people ask first
A quick route into setup help and common answers.
Does it replace AAC?
No. SnapThen is a supportive visual routine tool, not a replacement for specialist AAC systems.
Do the photos stay on the device?
Yes in normal use. SnapThen is designed around local storage unless you deliberately export, share, or restore data.
Can I move boards to another device?
Yes. You can share one board at a time or use backup and restore tools when you need a wider move.
Where do I start?
The FAQ and setup guide covers first steps, common questions, and what to send support if something goes wrong.
Need help?
Support and privacy stay easy to find.
For setup questions, restore or backup help, permissions basics, or testing feedback, use the support page. For data handling details, the privacy policy remains at the same stable link used from inside the app.
