AI TinyTales magically brings your child's hand-drawn doodles to life as short, gentle animations. Snap a photo of any crayon drawing, pick a magic theme, and in seconds the drawing is dancing, flying, sparkling, or floating across the screen. **Key Features** • Take a photo of any kid's drawing — crayon, marker, pencil • Choose from 12 hand-curated, kid-safe magic themes • Watch your child's character come alive in 5–10 seconds of video • Save every tale to your private Library • Save to Photos or Share with one tap • Browse the Themes gallery to learn what each style does • Beautiful paper-and-crayon design built for kids and parents to use together **Made for Families** AI TinyTales was built so parents and grandparents can preserve and celebrate the wonderful drawings kids bring home every day. 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.
