SCREENS WEREN'T MADE FOR TINY EYES
WE TRIED TO MAKE ONE.

PaperTaps is calm screen time that feels like a book, for children aged 1 to 8. Stories read slowly, songs to wiggle to, pop-up rhymes, puzzles and little worlds to explore, all drawn in warm ink on paper, with a gentle voice that reads every word. No bright colours, nothing flashing, no ads.

FESTIVALS AND SEASONS
Pip dresses up for the festivals families celebrate: Halloween pumpkins, friendly bats and a cosy pumpkin story in October, and Diwali diyas, rangoli, lanterns and fireworks in November, each with its own pictures to explore, puzzle and trace. Grown-ups can switch festivals off in Settings.

STORIES, SONGS AND RHYMES
• Stories: calm, narrated picture-book films, every word lit as it is read.
• Songs: Pip & Friends sing-along songs to tap, clap, hop and dance to, sung slowly enough to join in.
• Rhymes: the old favourites as pop-up books that sing the tunes you grew up with. Each one waits for your child's tap.

PLAY, FIND AND LEARN
• Explore: eighteen fold-out worlds to pan through, from the farm to the ocean. Tap Pip, and find the animal he asks for.
• Puzzles: every picture is cut its own way. A wrong piece just wobbles and whooshes home, and nothing is ever scored.
• Rescue: pictures lost in the worlds, waiting to be put back.
• Learning paths: eight short paths through letters, counting, feelings, opposites, doing words and more.
• Draw with Pip: trace any animal with a finger while Pip watches, helps and cheers.

TAP AND LISTEN
• Tap a picture to hear it: real animal sounds, and a recorded voice that reads the words aloud.
• Guess together: "Who is this?" Tap to reveal. Nothing listens, scores or records.
• Nineteen shelves of picture cards: animals, vehicles, dinosaurs, birds, sea creatures, space, ABC, numbers and more.

WHY IT LOOKS LIKE PAPER
• Inspired by E-Ink readers, and designed to be gentle on young eyes.
• Warm cream paper and soft ink. No pure white, no neon, no flashing.
• Readable even at 5% screen brightness, so you can turn the screen right down.

Typical kids' apps are built to capture attention. PaperTaps is built to deserve it.

MADE FOR GROWN-UPS TOO
• Set a daily limit from 15 to 60 minutes. When time's up, Pip falls asleep, and only your PIN opens it again.
• Choose how many cards a visit shows, so a shelf ends with a goodbye, not an endless feed.
• Bedtime mode switches to dark, warm paper for evening reading.
• Settings and purchases sit behind a grown-up check, and your child never signs in.

BOOKS YOU MAKE WITH PIP
Make a book about your child's world: their dog, their day, their teddy. Tell Pip what it's about, and Pip writes the pages, draws each one in the same ink style, and reads it aloud. A picture can even move: a small, slow loop while the page is read, then it rests.
Making books is for grown-ups. It needs a parent sign-in and an internet connection, and Pip's pictures use credits.

FREE AND PRO
Free: 10 minutes of play a day. Animals is free, always, with its sounds and voice built in, and every other shelf shows a few cards for free.
PaperTaps Pro is a monthly subscription. It gives unlimited play every day, opens every story, song, rhyme book and world, every shelf of cards and every step of every path, lets your child trace any card with Pip's help, opens all your saved drawings so you can print or share them, and adds credits every month for Pip's pictures. Credit packs are also available.

OFFLINE AND PRIVACY
Animals works offline from the first launch. Other shelves download once, then work offline too.
No ads and no microphone. When you make a book, the words you type and any photo or drawing you add are sent to our AI providers to create the pages. The privacy policy has the details.
