iPuppet "Digital Ventriloquist Companion" Turn your iPhone into a living puppet. iPuppet puts an expressive, animated character right on your screen, one that blinks, looks around, reacts, and talks in perfect sync with your performance. No wires, no hand puppet, no rehearsed animatronics. Just you, your phone, and a character that feels alive. Built for real performance, not just for show! iPuppet was designed with working performers in mind: ventriloquists, magicians, and anyone who wants a genuinely interactive digital character. Every feature exists because it solves a real problem on stage. Faint, performer only touch zones. Trigger expressions with barely visible circles positioned exactly where you want them. You'll know where to tap. Your audience won't have a clue. Fully customisable button layout. Drag and drop every control exactly where you want it. Left-handed? Move everything to suit you. No fixed layouts, no compromises. Seven expressive character states. Normal, Happy, Angry, Love, Dizzy, Star Struck, and Crying, each with its own animated eyes, brows, and mouth. Fluffy Angry comes with blazing red eyes and a proper shake. Star-struck and dizzy get a mesmerising "ooooh" mouth. Crying has real falling teardrops. Finger-tracking eyes. Drag your finger across the screen and watch the character's eyes follow, adding another layer of lifelike presence to your act. Two characters in one app Choose the classic animated face, picking from expressive eye and mouth styles on a bold colour background, or unlock Fluffy Character mode, iPuppet's signature trick. Upload a photo of your own phone's home screen, and a soft, fluffy character appears to magically pop up right out of your app icons. Position it, resize it, recolour its fur to any shade you like, and place your control buttons anywhere on screen. It's a genuine "wait, what?" moment the first time someone sees it. Make it yours! Custom fur colours with quick presets or full custom sliders Drag-and-drop face layout, positioning the eyes and mouth exactly where you want them on the character Save multiple character presets and switch between them instantly Ten background colours for classic mode Adjustable talk speed and idle animation behaviour Why performers choose iPuppet This isn't a novelty filter or a one-trick gimmick. iPuppet was built from the ground up by a working performer who understands that on stage, timing and invisibility matter more than flashy menus. Every control is designed to be silent, precise, and completely under your command, because the moment the audience sees you operating something, the illusion breaks. Whether you're a professional ventriloquist looking for a genuinely responsive digital companion, a magician wanting a fresh piece of visual comedy, or a performer who just wants their phone to come alive with personality, iPuppet gives you a character that reacts instantly, looks great close up, and puts you fully in control. No internet connection required. No accounts, no subscriptions to use the core character. Your character, your control, your performance. Download iPuppet and bring your puppet to life
