Make videos of your baby talk. Tiny Takes is an app for parents: hold up a picture card, record your toddler saying the word, and keep exactly how that tiny voice sounds right now. Their first words change almost overnight. One day it’s "pasketty," the next it’s perfect, and you can’t quite remember how that tiny voice used to sound. Tiny Takes turns that fleeting moment into a beautiful, repeatable ritual. The magic is a single deliberate design choice: the on-screen caption shows the correct word, but the audio captures exactly how your child actually says it. Seeing "Spaghetti" beautifully typeset on screen while a tiny voice proudly says "pasketty" freezes the real, un-synthetic texture of early childhood — the lisps, the swapped letters, and the charm that matures away too fast. The output is a keepsake, not a test score. Word practice is simply the mechanism; a polished, captioned video artifact to share with family is the product. Built for Parents (Not a Digital Babysitter) Tiny Takes is a keepsake tool made for a grown-up to hold and guide. You run the prompts and the camera while your little one stars. It is designed to create a shared, interactive moment between you and your child. How It Works • Eye-Level Prompts: Bright picture cards appear right next to the iPhone camera lens, keeping your child’s eyes naturally looking forward and engaged. • Custom Decks: Go beyond standard vocabulary. Easily upload photos of Dada, Grandma, or the family pet to prompt personalized, heartwarming responses. • Zero Editing Skills Needed: The app handles the timing, clean lower-third typography, and a gentle music backer automatically. You get a polished 30-second clip instantly. • Lightweight Review: Quick-trim your clips so you only save and export the takes you love. No Editing. No Account. No Cloud. Your child's identity belongs to you. Tiny Takes is built local-first to protect your family's data privacy: • 100% Private: Your videos never leave your iPhone. Processing happens entirely on-device. • No AI or Tracking: Captioning is fully deterministic based on the deck you choose. No speech data is harvested or sent to external servers. • One-Tap Sharing: Beautifully formatted video keepsakes are ready to text to grandparents instantly. Start Free, Keep it Forever Start free with three themed decks and three video exports. Unlock unlimited high-resolution, watermark-free video creation forever with a single, simple in-app purchase. • One-Time Full Access • No subscriptions, ever. Capture their real little voice before it changes. Download Tiny Takes today.
