Problem
Screen time often feels:
- Passive and isolating for kids
- Difficult for parents to manage
- Lacking meaningful, shared interaction
There’s a need for experiences that encourage creativity, connection, and intentional use.
Goal
Design an app that:
1. Encourage Connection
Create moments where families are actively engaging with each other, not just a device.
2. Foster Creativity
Give children a space to express ideas freely and see them come to life through storytelling.
3. Reduce Screen-Time Guilt
Help parents feel good about how technology is being used in their home.
4. Create Lasting Memories
Turn simple drawings into keepsakes that capture who a child is at that moment in time.
