Screen time you can feel good about. LumiNest: First Words is a beautifully calm way for toddlers to learn the words of everyday life — four worlds in one app: Food, Home, Toys, and Vehicles. Your child taps a friendly tile and watches a real-world video paired with warm narration that names what they see. No cartoons. No chaos. Just thoughtful, beautifully crafted learning through video and voice. Raising a bilingual family? Pick a second language and every video can speak both. FREE WORDS, ONE-TIME PURCHASE Explore a selection of words for free. A single one-time purchase opens every word, video and language in this app. No subscription. FOUR WORLDS OF WORDS - Food — bread, apples and the tastes on every toddler's plate - Home — chairs, cups and the familiar things around the house - Toys — teddy bears, blocks and playtime favourites - Vehicles — cars, trucks and everything that goes Switch worlds any time with one tap — the whole family of words lives in one app. REAL VIDEOS, REAL LEARNING Every word includes multiple real-world video scenes. Your child doesn't just see "car" once — they see it on the street, at the car wash, and driving away. Each scene pairs the same word with a new real-world context. That kind of repeated variation helps toddlers build stronger, more flexible vocabulary. All footage is calm, documentary-style video of the real world. No background music, no flashy effects, no overstimulating distractions. What your child sees on screen looks like what they may see in books, outside, or in everyday life. NARRATION MODES Every video includes warm, expressive voiceover carefully paced for toddlers. Choose the mode that fits your child: - Short - just the word ("Car") - Full - word with context ("A red car drives down the street") - Off - silent, for quiet moments QUIZ MODE Switch to Quiz Mode for guided practice. The app speaks a question — and your child taps the matching picture. Correct answers earn a video reward. Gentle hints help when they're stuck. No pressure, no scores — just playful recall that strengthens vocabulary. 15 LANGUAGES Choose from 15 languages in settings. The same words, the same videos, and the same calm learning experience — in your family's language. English, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Hindi, Swedish, Cantonese DESIGNED FOR TINY HANDS - Large, easy tap targets - No swiping, dragging, or complex gestures - Tap to play, tap to close - No ads, no distractions - Parent-gated settings behind a long-press Already own a LumiNest app? Your purchase carries over — this app unlocks automatically on the same device. BILINGUAL FAMILIES Raising your little one with two languages? Pick a second language and every video narrates in both — alternating with each replay, or back to back. All 15 languages can be paired freely, turning everyday screen time into gentle early language learning. Every tap helps build vocabulary through calm, real-world exploration.
