## What is Code Paw?

CodePaw helps kids build real coding skills and master subjects through structured lessons, hands-on projects, and immediate feedback. No blocks, no fluff.

Children write and run real JavaScript (and HTML), see live previews, complete progressive courses in Maths, Science, Astronomy, History, and Geography, all at their pace. Everything stays private on-device with no accounts, no ads, and no data leaving the device.

Smart on-device helpers (friendly AI personas like Mathematician, Scientist, and Coder) step in only when needed—powered by Apple Intelligence on supported devices. Voice chat, image creation, and camera/OCR support make learning feel natural and fun.

One low-cost yearly subscription unlocks the full library and shares via Apple Family Sharing. Perfect for families and homeschoolers who want real skills without the risks.
