Independo is a digital calendar designed for individuals who have difficulty perceiving written content, utilizing symbols and audio to make appointments accessible for those with learning difficulties. By addressing the challenges faced by people with cognitive disabilities, who often struggle with conventional text-based calendars, Independo fosters greater independence and self-efficacy in managing their schedules. The app allows users to create, manage, and delete events using intuitive symbols, rate past events, and share calendars through synchronization with conventional platforms like Google Calendar. In the DACH region, where printed pictogram calendars are commonly used, Independo streamlines the process, reducing the time and resources required for support while enhancing users' freedom of choice.
