Hand it to a baby without handing over your life. Shapes, letters and gentle noises for them. Everything else locked, including the group chat.
Two adult hands, two far-apart targets, three deliberate seconds. Small hands cannot do it by accident, and unlike a keypad there is nothing to guess. Onboarding also sets up iOS Guided Access, which switches off the home swipe and the notifications entirely.
Shapes that pop and say their name, finger painting, giant letters, counting, falling shapes, a four-way mirror, five colour-coded notes, a weighted spinner, a night sky, and a creature made of a circle and two squares that watches the finger and blinks back. Pick one or pick all ten and let the screen change itself.
No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no network calls at all. Settings and play counts live on the device and go with the app when it is deleted. It works on a plane, in a car park, and at a wedding.
