Better questions. Closer conversations. TalkSprout helps parents and guardians build a simple habit of connection: one thoughtful, age-appropriate question at the moment your family is most likely to use it. THE QUESTION COMES TO YOU Choose weekday and weekend times for each local profile. TalkSprout schedules the full question in a local notification, so you can use it without opening the app. Mark it asked, choose another, or save it for later. iOS controls final delivery timing. MADE FOR THE CHILD YOU KNOW Choose an age from 3 through 18, interests, conversation themes, tone, and a natural moment such as morning, after school, dinner, or bedtime. TalkSprout uses a private local recommendation system to avoid recent questions and find a thoughtful fit. 870 CURATED QUESTIONS Browse an offline library across five age bands and themes including creativity, confidence, friendship, kindness, gratitude, family memories, problem-solving, goals, feelings, independence, and everyday fun. Save a question, revisit recent moments, and share it when it feels useful. FREE TO START The free experience includes one child profile, one scheduled daily question, starter questions across every category, and recent history. There are no ads and no forced purchase before you can use the app. TALKSPROUT FULL FAMILY A single one-time purchase unlocks multiple profiles, the complete prompt library, follow-up questions, parent tips, complete history and favorites, and optional on-device prompt creation with Apple Intelligence when available. There is no subscription. Prices are shown in your local App Store currency. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Profiles, preferences, and conversation activity stay on your iPhone. TalkSprout has no advertising, tracking, custom backend, remote child database, or external AI service. Curated prompts remain available offline. You can export or reset local data in Settings. Apple Intelligence prompt creation requires iOS 26 or later, eligible hardware, Apple Intelligence enabled, a supported language, and a ready on-device model. When it is unavailable or a generated question does not pass TalkSprout's checks, the app uses a curated question instead. TalkSprout provides conversation starters, not medical, therapeutic, educational, or professional advice.
