Capable Hearts

Capable Hearts is a safe, accessible social app designed for autistic people and individuals with developmental disabilities to connect, form friendships, and grow at their own pace. Built with an autism-first mindset, the app offers simple navigation, clear labeling, and customizable sensory settings to reduce overwhelm.

Key Features

Autism-First Design: Simple layout, predictable navigation, and adjustable sensory options (font size, contrast, spacing, motion controls).

Interest-Based Groups: Discover and join groups aligned with your passions (gaming, art, nature, music, sports, and more) to meet peers with similar interests.

Flexible Communication: Text, voice with captions/transcripts, and short video messages. Strong privacy controls and easy opt-in/opt-out settings.

On-Topic Support: Optional in-app consultations and conversation prompts to help keep discussions focused and comfortable.

Mentor and Peer Support: Matched mentors and buddy circles to practice social skills in safe, moderated spaces; track progress toward personal goals.

Safety and Privacy: Verified profiles, robust reporting, real-time moderation, and granular privacy controls over who can contact you.
