Why we’re building HelioStep

A good day at school too often ends as a crumpled paper card at the bottom of a backpack.

Parents of kids working on behavior goals already do so much: a chart on the fridge, a note from the teacher, a guess at what’s been helping lately. We wanted one calm place for all of it.

A minute in the evening, the teacher’s card the same afternoon, and a clear view of what’s getting easier, kept private to the people you choose.

Join the list. We’d love to hear from you.

For parents

One tap a goal each evening

Tap Yes, Mostly or Not today for each goal your child is working on, as many as they have. Add a note when something stood out.

  • The teacher’s card, the same afternoon

    When the teacher taps Send, their card is waiting in the app.

  • Compared only with their own past

    See what’s getting easier over the weeks. No points, no streaks, never other children.

  • Your notes stay yours

    Notes are private to you until you share them with someone on your child’s team.

For teachers

Tap a face per subject, then Send

Fill in the chart as the day goes, the way you would the paper card. The family gets one notification when you send, not one for every subject.

  • Free for teachers and school staff

    You join from the family’s invite. Teachers and school staff never pay.

  • Only the children you were invited for

    You see a child only when their parent invites you, and only what they choose to share.

  • Fix it later

    Made a mistake? You can change today’s or yesterday’s chart.

When can we start?

We’re starting with a small group of families and their teachers. We’ll email the list as more places open.

What will it cost?

HelioStep is free to start, for one child. Plus adds teacher invites, more children and reports, and starts with a free month. It’s billed through your phone’s app store with your payment method, and it renews unless you cancel. Teachers and school staff never pay.

Does my child’s teacher have to join?

No. You can check in at home on your own and copy the paper card in by hand. When you’re ready, invite the teacher and their card comes to the app.

Does my child use the app?

No. Children never have accounts. HelioStep is for you and the adults you invite.

What happens to my email?
