About this app

Read & speak Punjabi, the fun way.

Painti is a gentle, joyful way for children — and the whole family — to read and
speak Punjabi in the Gurmukhi script, starting from the very first letter.

Built for kids growing up far from Punjab, Painti turns reading into a calm, tap-
and-listen adventure guided by Sheru, our friendly little lion. No pressure, no
timers — just one new sign at a time until real Punjabi words and sentences click.

TWO GENTLE PATHS
• Read Words — meet the 35 letters (painti akhar) and the vowel signs (matras)
one at a time, then build real words like ਘਰ (home), ਸਕੂਲ (school) and ਪਰਿਵਾਰ
(family).
• Read Sentences — put words together and read warm, everyday lines out loud:
family, food, greetings, colours, animals and feelings.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap any letter, word or part to hear it spoken aloud.
• Sound out each part, then hear the whole word or sentence.
• Earn stars and keep a daily streak to stay motivated.
• A growing phrasebook collects everything you’ve learned.

MADE FOR FAMILIES
• Respectful, real Punjabi — honorific, kind language the way families speak it.
• Romanization and English meanings can be shown or hidden in Settings.
• Simple, friendly design with big, clear Gurmukhi letters.

PRIVATE & OFFLINE BY DESIGN
• Works completely offline — no internet needed after install.
• No ads. No sign-up. No accounts.
• No data collected and nothing leaves the device. Your child’s progress is saved
only on your phone.

Whether you’re a parent passing on your mother tongue, or a learner starting fresh,
Painti makes the Gurmukhi alphabet feel friendly from the very first tap.

ਆਓ, ਪੜ੍ਹੀਏ! — Come, let’s read!
