PottyGo
Potty training an autistic child takes a village. PottyGo keeps the whole team in sync.
Log a win, an attempt, or an accident in seconds, one-handed. Everyone who helps — parents, grandparents, aides, therapists — sees the same timeline, live. No more starting from zero at every handoff.

The real timeline
If it’s taking years, you’re not doing it wrong.
Potty training an autistic child is a different journey: longer, less linear, and shared across more hands. Most apps assume a two-week bootcamp and a single caregiver. PottyGo is built for the actual reality:
The average journey for autistic children. A year in doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re on pace.
of autistic children aren’t yet toilet trained at ages 4–5. The norm on this journey, not the exception.
of autistic individuals experience GI conditions — one reason timing, diet, and pattern history matter so much.

How it works
Three steps to a shared timeline.
Log in seconds
Two taps records a win, attempt, accident, or dry check. Add a note if you want. Backdate it if life happened first.
Invite your team
Your partner, grandma, the aide, the therapist. Everyone logs to the same timeline, and every log syncs live.
See the story
Daily timelines and 7-, 14-, and 30-day stats show the long arc — including the dips that are a normal part of it.
Built for 7 AM chaos
Two taps and it’s logged.
Most logs happen mid-cleanup, with a child on one hip. So PottyGo doesn’t hand you a form with twelve fields. It’s four big buttons, and the note can wait until you have a free hand.
Quick enough that it actually happens, every time, from every caregiver. Months from now, that’s the difference between a complete history and a guess.
Handoffs
Every caregiver, one shared memory.
A potty plan only works when everyone runs the same one, and it breaks the moment someone tags in without knowing how the morning went. In PottyGo, everyone you invite logs to one live timeline, with a name on every entry.
Grandma sees what the aide saw. Monday-you sees what weekend-you did. The reminder schedule travels with the child, so whoever’s on duty gets the same nudge at the same time.
You decide who’s invited and what each person can see and do.
The long view
The long arc, not the last bad day.
Regression isn’t failure — it’s part of the pattern. PottyGo’s history views show weeks and months at a time, so one rough Tuesday sits inside a trend you can actually see.
That’s what keeps a whole team believing through a journey measured in months: proof, on the screen, that the work is adding up.
Early days
Be one of the first families.
PottyGo is new — built by one dad, tested daily by his own village. When early families start sharing their stories, you’ll read them here. Until then, the app makes its own case in about two minutes.

Where PottyGo is headed
PottyGo is in beta, and the roadmap is shaped by the families using it. Here’s what we’re building next:
Patterns in plain language
“Most wins happen 20–40 minutes after meals.”Insights that turn months of logs into an actionable schedule — pattern-based support, not medical advice.
Stage-based guidance
Beginner → Intermediate → AdvancedFrom sitting tolerance to interval progression to self-initiation, grounded in published toileting protocols.
Handoff notes
“Day 3 of 30-min intervals — green timer works best.”Context that travels with the timeline, so whoever’s next starts with the full picture — never from zero.
Privacy
Your child’s story stays yours.
No ads. And no advertising SDKs watching in the background.
We never sell your data. Your logs exist to help your child, full stop.
You choose who sees the timeline. Access is invite-only and role-based, and you can revoke it.
Delete anytime. Remove your account and your family’s data whenever you choose.
PottyGo supports your routine — it doesn’t replace your clinician. Nothing in the app is medical advice. Read the full privacy policy.
PottyGo exists because my family lives this. I built it after one too many handoffs where the plan lived in three heads and a group text — and one too many apps that assumed we’d be done in two weeks. If it helps your village the way it’s helping mine, I’d genuinely love to hear about it.
Questions
What you might be wondering.
Is PottyGo really free?
Everything in the beta is free. Paid family plans for team features will come later — priced per family, not per caregiver — and core tracking will stay free.
What devices does it work on?
Any modern browser — phone, tablet, or computer — at pottygoapp.com. The iPhone app is in TestFlight beta (email us for an invite). A dedicated Android app is on the radar; in the meantime the browser version works well on Android.
My child isn’t autistic — is PottyGo still useful?
Yes. PottyGo is designed around long, non-linear training journeys and shared caregiving. That fits many developmental disabilities — and plenty of neurotypical potty training, too.
Can aides and therapists use it with us?
That’s the point. Invite anyone on your team — they see the shared timeline and can log alongside you. Clinician-friendly exports are on the roadmap.
What happens to our data?
It’s stored securely, visible only to the people you invite, never sold, and you can delete your account and data at any time. Details in the privacy policy.
Start where you are.
Setup takes two minutes, and the rest of the village can join whenever they’re ready.
