## What is Gruvi?

Gruvi is a digital wooden toy for music. Gruvi, the soft azure raccoon, welcomes children from age 3 into the Sound Forest, a world where everything is an instrument, and invites them to make music themselves.

Wordless and safe: the children's interface needs no text at all. Everything works through colours, characters and big buttons. There is no wrong note, every sound comes out round and warm.

- Listen: pick favourite songs by cover and colour.
- Make: play notes, instruments and sounds by hand.
- Play: gentle forest games like freeze-dance.

Also to stream: the songs from Gruvi are on Spotify and Apple Music too, for the car, for bedtime, or on the go without a screen. Just search for Gruvi.

Built for everyone: fully VoiceOver-labelled, respects Reduce Motion, and deliberately photosensitive-safe. The light glows, it never flashes.

For parents: no ads, no subscription, no tracking, works completely offline. A parents' area holds the settings and playlists. Families can optionally share playlists over iCloud.

Buy once, keep forever. No hidden costs.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-07-19

Gruvi now speaks English: a warm English voice of his own, fully translated parent texts, and a language switch in the parents' area (Automatic · German · English).

### 1.2.2 — 2026-07-07

Kleinere Verbesserungen und Feinschliff.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-07-07

Gruvi startet spürbar schneller. Alle Knöpfe sprechen jetzt eine klare Bildsprache für kleine Hände: Radio bedeutet hören, Hand bedeutet anhalten, Mund bedeutet aufnehmen. Dazu liebevoller Feinschliff in allen Räumen.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-03

Der Klangwald ist wieder ein Stück gewachsen. Neu in 1.2: die Leuchtwelt. Hinter der vierten Tür warten vier stille Welten voller leuchtender Wesen. Dein Kind weckt Quallen, Glühwürmchen, Blumen und Sterne mit einem Fingertipp und gestaltet sein eigenes Licht zur Musik. Ruhig, warm und ohne ein einziges Wort.

Außerdem neu: Bacons Musikzimmer. Hinter der zweiten Tür stellt Bacon, der feine Labrador, die Instrumente vor: Trommel, Klanghölzer und Schellenkranz, dazu die Echo-Stunde zum Nachklatschen. Gruvis DJ-Pult wohnt jetzt bei den Liedern, Fankis Welt wird zum Licht-Bilderbuch, und die Klangreise kommt ganz ohne Worte aus. Viele liebevolle Verbesserungen für kleine Hände.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-28

No release notes.
