Right now, it all lives in your head.

When the plan review is due. Which report said what. The form that’s due on Friday. The question you meant to ask the OT. You carry all of it, everywhere.

Hand it to Jay.

Stop being the filing cabinet.

Upload a report or import it from Google Drive. Jay reads it, gives it a plain-English title and a one-line summary, and files it where it belongs.

Gmail is coming soon, so Jay can find them in your inbox too.

Their story, kept together.

As reports come in, Jay suggests assessments, goals and milestones for your child’s Journey. You check and confirm what belongs, and add the small wins.

Just tell Jay.

Say it the way you’d say it to a friend. Jay sets the reminder, saves the moment or drafts the email for you to send, and anything it changes can be undone.

Jay gives general information and support, not medical, clinical or therapeutic advice.

Walk in prepared.

Ask Jay to help you get ready and it pulls out what to raise from your child’s own records, with a meeting pack to bring. Afterwards, Jay asks how it went and saves your note to their Journey.

Jay keeps looking for you.

Research, therapies, activities and funding that fit your child, each with the official source to check. When something new turns up, Jay lets you know.

These are leads to discuss with your child’s team, not recommendations.

Jay comes to you.

You don’t have to keep checking. Jay brings each thing to you on the day it matters, then gets out of the way.

We built the app we wish we’d had.

We’re Ryan and Erika. Our son Jay was red-flagged for his development the day before his first birthday, and since then our lives have filled with specialists, therapy, NDIS reviews and school meetings.

The paperwork ended up everywhere. Whenever someone asked when Jay first walked, or what the last assessment said, we were back to searching through inboxes, phones and drawers.

The Jay Way is the tool we needed on day one. We use it for Jay ourselves, and we’re building it for families like ours.

“I had reports on my phone, on my desktop, buried in Gmail, forwarded between people and probably printed out somewhere in the house.”

Questions parents ask

What is The Jay Way?

An app for parents and carers of a child with disability. It keeps your child’s reports, appointments and next steps together, reads what you add, and tells you what needs you, when it needs you. It’s built by Ryan and Erika, parents of a child with disability, and made by Brighter Day Software Pty Ltd.

Will Jay remind me about appointments?

Yes. Add an appointment, or just tell Jay in chat, and it reminds you the day before or that morning, with a look-ahead on Sundays. You can ask for a reminder about anything else, like chasing a report, and set reminders before the funding deadlines you save.

Does Jay replace my child’s professionals?

No. Jay gives general information and organisational support, not medical, clinical or therapeutic advice. It helps you keep track of what your child’s professionals say and get your questions ready for them.

What can Jay see?

Only what you give it: the reports you upload, the files you pick from Google Drive and what you tell it in chat. Gmail is coming soon; connecting it will be optional and read-only. Our privacy policy explains it in full.

Do I need an NDIS plan or a diagnosis to use The Jay Way?

No. Jay is useful whether you’re waiting on a diagnosis, in the middle of assessments or managing a plan.

How much does The Jay Way cost?

It’s free to download. Subscription options are shown in the app before you choose one.

Where can I get The Jay Way?

The Jay Way is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad in Australia. If you live somewhere else, join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it reaches your country.

Carry less of it alone.

Free to download on iPhone and iPad in Australia. Add one report and let Jay take it from there.
