Read full descriptionHide full description
A calm playground for toddlers, designed with care. Tap or type โ and a friendly little shape appears with a sparkle and a soft sound. That's the whole game. Six gentle worlds (Classic letters, Sea, Nature, Space, Cozy, and Animals), each with its own soft palette, hand-drawn illustrations, and original gentle music. TWO WAYS TO PLAY - Keys โ tap anywhere or press any letter, and a themed shape spawns at that spot. Lovely for early keyboard exploration and discovering cause-and-effect. - Boop โ friendly shapes appear on their own at random spots. Tap one to pop it with a sparkle and a happy sound. Perfect for phones, tablets, and small fingers. Switch between modes any time on the home screen. THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES - A Bedtime mode dims everything to warm, low-contrast colors for winding down. - Volume sliders for music and sound effects, separately. - Six worlds, all hand-crafted โ no stock art, no stock audio. Every illustration, every sound effect, every bit of background music was made for BoopNest. - Works fully offline once installed โ perfect for plane rides, long car trips, and anywhere data is hard to come by. WHAT'S NOT IN BOOPNEST โข No ads โ ever. โข No accounts to sign up for. โข No personal information collected. โข No in-app purchases. โข No subscriptions. It's just a calm little playground. That's it. Made with love for toddlers and the people who care for them.
Peeklu
Read full descriptionHide full description
Peeklu is a calm, distraction-free visual app for your baby โ inspired by Montessori contrast cards used by parents for decades to support early visual development. Why contrast? Newborns primarily perceive strong light-dark differences in their first weeks. Their visual system recognises outlines, movement, and clear shapes long before fine colours or detailed images. Peeklu puts this to work: slowly animated black-and-white patterns gently capture your baby's attention without overstimulation. Two modes โ one calm experience Black & White Mode (from birth) 14 carefully designed patterns in pure black and white โ from simple half-circles and concentric rings to a classic Archimedean spiral and an endless zoom. All animations run slowly and steadily, with no sudden changes or flashing effects. Colour Mode (from around 3 months) As your baby's vision develops and begins to distinguish colours, switch to Colour Mode: the same simple shapes appear in bold, child-friendly primary colours โ always freshly shuffled. Tapping the screen creates gentle ripples or colourful bursts. Designed with parents in mind โข Full screen with no distractions, no ads, no in-app purchases โข Switch patterns easily with the volume buttons or by shaking the device โข Tilt the device โ the pattern follows the movement โข Discreet parent gesture: hold two fingers on the screen to exit โข Auto-starts in Black & White Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity What age? Peeklu is especially valuable in the first 6 months of life. Black & White Mode is suitable from birth; Colour Mode from around 3 months. Many parents continue using the app beyond that โ during feeding, nappy changes, or a quiet moment in a busy day. Note: Short, relaxed sessions are more beneficial than long screen time. Peeklu doesn't replace talking to or making eye contact with your baby โ it's simply a gentle companion for those moments.
