AI TinyTales magically brings your child's hand-drawn doodles to life as short, gentle animations.

There are no accounts, no logins, no ads, and no in-app purchases. All your tales live privately on your device. **How it Works** 1. Take a photo of any drawing 2. Pick a magic theme (Dance Party, Flying Adventure, Magic Sparkles…) 3. Tap "Make it come alive!" 4. Watch — and save your favorite to your Library **Built-in Safety** There is no free-form text input — every animation comes from a hand-authored, reviewed theme list. AI animations are creative interpretations and may differ from what your child imagined. **Privacy & Data (read this — we keep it simple)** • **No personal data collection** — We never ask for your name, email, or any account. Nothing you save in the app is sent to us; your Library lives only on your device (SwiftData + app sandbox). • **One external service, one job** — When you tap “Make it come alive!”, your drawing photo is sent over HTTPS to Replicate (replicate.com) to run an image-to-video model. That is the only cloud step. We do not run our own backend servers for the app. • **Camera & Photos** — Camera only when you tap Take Photo; photo library read only when you pick a drawing; save to Photos only when you tap Save Video. • **No tracking** — No analytics SDKs, no ad networks, no cross-app tracking. • **Built for grown-ups + kids** — Meant for a parent or guardian to use with a child. Theme descriptions are bundled offline; only generation uploads the image you chose.
