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.
