kidmode is a safe, ad-free play space built for young kids (3-9) on the family iPhone or iPad - and a genuinely useful wishlist tool for their parents. FOR KIDS - Memory Game: picture-matching with difficulty that adapts to their age - Doodle Pad: finger painting with big, forgiving brushes and a saved gallery - Create Image: describe anything ("a dragon eating ice cream!") and a child-safe AI paints it - every picture is generated inside a strict G-rated template with automated moderation - Image Search: real photos of the things kids love - animals, planets, football players - from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, each credited to its photographer, with a word filter and automated moderation in front of every search - One-tap suggestion chips everywhere, so pre-readers can play without typing - Sounds, real haptics, confetti, and a daily star streak that celebrates coming back FOR PARENTS - Add to Wishlist: your child searches for what they dream about ("soccer cleats"), taps a picture, and it lands on their wishlist - birthday and holiday lists, made by the recipient - A parent area locked behind a multiplication gate holds the wishlist manager (mark gifts "got it", remove them, find them in stores), a session timer, and an instant app lock - Every link that leaves the app - store searches included - sits behind the parental gate SAFE BY DESIGN - No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions - No chat, no social features, no strangers, no user-generated content from anyone outside your family - No third-party analytics or tracking of any kind - No accounts and no sign-in: kidmode collects no personal data at all - Everything your family saves - wishes, favorites, AI pictures, doodles - stays on your iPhone or iPad - Full privacy policy at kidmode.io/privacy Made by a dad who wanted one app his kids could open without supervision - and one wishlist he could open in December.
