A note from Steve

Everything wants your data, your money, your time. I'm building the opposite, and giving away as much as I possibly can.

I'm tired of being sold junk.

  • Buy 5 more lives for $4.99
  • Watch an ad to keep playing
  • Allow tracking across other apps?
  • Your free trial ends today
  • Next episode in 5, 4, 3…
  • Don't lose your 30-day streak!

Games built to hook children until they need one more life, then charge five dollars for it. Some make millions a month this way. Basic tools sold back to you by subscription, when they cost almost nothing to make. And your child's data, taken along the way.

The best things for children shouldn't depend on who can pay.

So the books, wonders, games, routines and calm breaths are free for every child, for good, and nothing will be taken away later to make you pay.

So I do the opposite

I optimise everything so I can give it away.

Take reading help. I built the listening to run on the tablet itself, right in your browser, so another child reading costs almost nothing. That's how it stays free for every child, for good.

Dig Here!, a Lil' Phil book

Soft, sandy ground. Perfect! Scritch, scratch, dig, dig, dig.

Made ahead, so it's free.

One place to play and learn, built for how little ones grow: by seeing, hearing, trying and doing. You choose what's in it once, and get peace of mind instead of ten apps to watch.

The one exception

A friend who talks back live. Every live reply costs real money to make, so it comes with a Philomathia plan. That plan is really for you: a whole suite to learn, support your family and grow at work. Live talk for your child comes along with it, and stays off until you turn it on.

Children grow curious because of the people around them. I don't want an app to replace you. I want it to give you more to wonder about together.
