Where Brili shines
Brili is genuinely clever about time. It shows each activity within the whole routine, and if one step runs long it recalculates the rest so the routine still ends on time — great for time-blindness. It’s cross-platform (iOS and Android), works well for older kids and adults, and its streaks and achievements make it a strong habit-builder for the ADHD community. If keeping a routine on schedule is your main goal, Brili is built for exactly that.
Where Tandli is different
Tandli is designed for a younger child who needs calm and a familiar voice, not a ticking clock:
- Your voice, not a timer. Each step plays in your own recorded voice; a running timer can add pressure that overwhelms some kids.
- Picture-first, one step at a time. A single clear picture and prompt — ideal for pre-readers and sensory-sensitive kids.
- Low-sensory and calm. High-contrast, gentle themes rather than a gamified timer screen.
- Private by design. On-device, no account, no cloud.
Which should you choose?
- Choose Brili for time management and gamified routines, especially for older kids or adults, or if you need Android.
- Choose Tandli for a younger autistic or neurodivergent child who follows best with a familiar voice, clear pictures and a calm, pressure-free screen — kept fully private on-device.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Tandli and Brili?
Brili Routines is built around time — visual timers show a step in the context of the whole routine and automatically recalculate if a step runs long, with rewards and streaks, on iOS and Android. Tandli is built around a parent's voice and a calm, one-picture-at-a-time flow for younger autistic and neurodivergent kids, and runs entirely on-device. Brili suits time-management; Tandli suits low-sensory, voice-guided routines.
Is Brili good for autism, or more for ADHD?
Brili is popular in the ADHD community for time management and is used by all ages, including adults. It's more time-and-timer focused. For a young autistic child who benefits from a familiar voice, clear pictures and low-sensory design rather than a running timer, Tandli's approach is often gentler.
Does Brili use your own voice?
Brili centres on visual timers with gentle audible prompts rather than a parent's own recorded voice on every step. Recording your own voice for the start message, each step and praise is a core part of Tandli.
