TinyFingers ABC
A calm letters-and-numerals app for small children. The child traces a big letter or numeral with a finger, then a picture and its word appear.

TinyFingers ABC is in development. This page describes what it is built to do. It is not out yet, and there is no release date.
What it is
It is made for children from about age 3. A big letter or numeral fills the screen. A pulsing dot shows where to start, and a green arrow shows the way. The child traces with a finger, and the path fills in as they go. When the letter is done, a picture and its word appear.
Nothing hurries the child. The app does not move on by itself, so a child can look at the picture for as long as they like. It suits a shared moment in a small group with an adult.
How it is built to work
- Nothing judges the child. No scores, stars, streaks or signals when a trace goes astray. Nothing flashes.
- No ads, no accounts. The app asks nobody to sign in, and the child is never offered anything to buy.
- Designed to work without a network connection. No analytics. Only the adults’ settings and the child’s place in the books stay on the device.
- A lock for adults. An adult sets it up behind a number puzzle. A PIN can be set, and there is a dedicated-device mode.
- No text for the child. The child’s screens carry only letters, numerals and words, no interface text.
- The same family. TinyFingers ABC belongs to the TinyFingers family with Paint and Rescue: no ads, no analytics, no accounts.
