Helpful apps for kids. Made with heart.

We're a small team making learning apps for children. Each app does one thing, and does it well. Numbula is our first, and more are on the way.

Why we do this

Learning should feel safe.

Kids learn best when it's okay to get things wrong. So we keep our apps calm, short and kind.

  1. Real skills

    We teach how things work, not tricks to pass a test.

  2. Short and calm

    A few good minutes a day is plenty. Then go and play.

  3. Grown-ups in charge

    You can see what your child has learned and choose what comes next.

What we make

One app so far. More on the way.

Every app starts free. One Heartbeat Kids account works in all of them.

What we care about

How we build our apps

We're still growing. These are the things we try hard to get right.

  • No ads

    Kids shouldn't have to sit through ads to learn.

  • Kind about mistakes

    A wrong answer is "not yet". No buzzers, no red crosses.

  • No guilt

    No streaks to lose and nothing nagging kids to come back.

  • Careful with data

    We keep only what the app needs.

For parents and teachers

Your child sees a game. You see what they learned.

Simple screens show what your child knows and what needs more practice.

  • See progress

    Which facts are solid and which need more work.

  • Choose what's next

    Point your child to the right lesson.

  • Set limits

    Decide when the app opens and for how long.

How we work

Small team, one app at a time.

  1. One job per app

    Each app teaches one thing, so it's easy to use and easy to trust.

  2. Built on how kids learn

    Practice comes back over days, so it lasts.

  3. Made for kids who find it hard

    We design for the child who's slower or unsure.

Questions

Things grown-ups ask

What ages is Numbula for?

Roughly 4 to 11. Kids start wherever they are.

Does it cost anything?

The first chapters are free. Later chapters need a paid plan, or are free through a school license.

What do I need?

A web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to download.

What happens to my child's data?

We keep only what the app needs to remember progress. Our privacy notice has the details.

Are you making other apps?
