We’re excited to announce the redesigned MapHabit app, now available on iOS. Built with your feedback in mind, the new app makes daily routines simpler, more personalized, and easier to discover so you can get the most out of every map.
Whether you’re already using MapHabit to support independence or you’re just getting started, our new app will help you navigate with less distraction, personalize your experience, and explore new features with ease.
Check it out on the App Store today!
Why we redesigned the app
Our mission at MapHabit has always been simple: empower individuals and their care teams through habit-forming technology that builds confidence, supports routines, and fosters dignity through daily moments of progress.
Over the past few years, our users have told us how much they love our visual mapping system. They've also shared ways that we can make their experience better. And, we listened.
That’s why we rebuilt the app around three core principles:
- Simplicity: A cleaner, distraction-free design makes it easier to focus on what matters most.
- Personalization: New tools help you tailor your home screen and maps to your unique needs.
- Discovery: Smarter navigation and categories surface more of what the app can do for you.
What’s new in the MapHabit app
Here are the top benefits you’ll notice right away:
1. Focused navigation
The new home page puts your maps front and center. By removing the bottom navigation bar and streamlining menus, we’ve dedicated more space for the activities that matter.
Before: Multiple navigation layers could feel overwhelming.
Now: A single, focused home screen keeps engagement simple and always accessible.
2. Personalized experience
Now, every new app experience begins with a Welcome Survey to better understand your needs. Based on your responses, you’ll get instant access to relevant maps in categories like wellness, school, and nutrition.
You can also:
- Customize which widget you'd like to see on your home screen, including Featured Maps, Daily Schedule, Quick Maps, or Support Summary
- Hide items that aren’t relevant, such as Messages or Progress
- Choose what you want to see first when you open the app
3. Quicker map creation
We’ve simplified the map creation process so you can build a routine in minutes. Add media, write instructions, and organize activities without hassle.
This foundation also sets us up for the future: soon, you’ll be able to use AI to generate personalized routines with even less effort.
4. Easier discovery
We know that finding the right map at the right time is essential. In the new MapHabit app, we’ve made discovering maps from our robust Map Library smoother and more intuitive so you can focus less on searching and more on taking action.
Here’s what’s new:
- Smarter search: Type a keyword and instantly see suggestions, making it quicker to pull up the routine you need.
- Clearer categories: All maps are now organized into easy-to-understand categories like Daily Living, Wellness, Work & School, and Community.
- Helpful sub-categories: Drill down further to discover specific routines, such as morning routines, nutrition prep, or school readiness.
- Visual cues: Larger images and streamlined layouts help you recognize the right map at a glance.
This redesign not only makes the app more user-friendly but also improves performance and encourages exploration. Perhaps you began using the app to create medication reminder maps. Now, you’ll more easily discover additional ways to support daily routines and independence like wellness activity maps or a daily checklist.
What’s staying the same
While the MapHabit app is getting a new look and feel, these things you know and love about the app are not changing:
- If you're a current MapHabit member/user/customer, your maps, routines, and reminders will move over automatically
- You won’t need to reset your password
- There will be no downtime, and the update happens seamlessly
In other words, it’s the same MapHabit you love, just with a fresh new look and improved functionality.
Coming soon: Even more innovation
This release is just the beginning. In the near future, we’ll be rolling out new features, including:
- AI map creation for effortless planning
- Add overlays (sketches, drawings, and text) on photos to make your maps even more interactive and informative
- Additional customization tools to support your goals
- More robust reporting and analytics
Stay tuned for updates—we’ll be sharing sneak peeks on social media and on our website.
How to update your app
If you’re on iOS, head to the App Store and update MapHabit to the latest version. Please note: If you have a MapHabit-managed device, your app will be automatically updated.
