BabyKeys

A game a one-year-old cannot get wrong

Every tap anywhere on the screen, and every key press, gets an answer — a picture and its sound, and in turn its name. There is no timer, no score and no way to lose — which is exactly what a child of one to three needs.

Built around one idea: nothing the child does is a mistake

Every touch answers

Tap, swipe, drag, mash the keyboard or a game controller — every touch gets an answer: a picture, a sound, a burst of colour. Multitouch included, because small hands land flat.

Gentle where there is a right answer

Shadows, Puzzle, Shape Pairs, Color Pairs, Who called? and Who with whom? have a right answer, but a wrong choice is never buzzed or crossed out: it floats back with a soft pop, and the game hints at the right one. Right answers get a celebration.

No traps for a parent

Settings and purchases sit behind a gate that asks you to solve a multiplication and pick the right answer out of four. A toddler will not stumble into them, and there is no web browser or video service anywhere in the app.

Twelve ways to play

Five are free from the start, including the colouring style of Magic Brush. The other seven — Shadows, Puzzle, Shape Pairs, Color Pairs, Trail, Who called? and Who with whom? — are the games a child grows into, and one purchase unlocks them all.

    Twelve sets to explore

    Animals and the whole everyday-skills block are free: potty, washing hands, brushing teeth, saying hello and goodbye. Dinosaurs, vehicles, fairytale and the rest come with the same single purchase.

      It can speak in your voice

      Record yourself naming every object, saying the greetings and giving the prompt for each game, and your voice replaces the built-in one. A one-year-old knows their mother’s voice long before they know a word — no actor can compete with that. The recordings stay on the device and are never uploaded anywhere.

      And play on your photos

      Add up to eight family pictures. They take turns with the built-in backgrounds, so now and then the animals tumble across your kitchen or grandmother’s garden; they also become pictures to colour in and, with the full version, puzzles. The app never asks for gallery access: it sees only the files you hand it, one at a time, through the system picker.

      Works on a plane, works in the car

      Every animal, every sound and every game is inside the app from the moment it is installed. Nothing downloads later, nothing buffers, nothing waits for Wi-Fi; the only thing that ever goes online is the store’s own purchase check. In a tunnel, at thirty thousand feet, or at a grandmother’s house where nobody remembers the password, it behaves exactly the same.

      For the parent

      A time limit that holds

      Decide how many minutes a session lasts. When the time is up the game winds down on its own, without a snatched tablet.

      Nine languages

      Russian, English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Polish, Ukrainian, French and Italian — interface and spoken words alike.

      One purchase, not a subscription

      Five games and five sets are free forever, and so are your voice and your photos. A single one-time payment unlocks the other seven games and seven sets, on every device signed in to the same store account.

      Nothing leaves the device

      No analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no accounts. Nobody can tell that your child played today — not an advertiser, not a data broker, and not us.

      Privacy, in one sentence

      BabyKeys collects no data whatsoever — not about you, and not about your child.
