About Cubby — Kids Launcher
Most parental-control apps watch your kid from a distance: reports, timers, locked screens. Cubby is different. It's built for being together.
🎨 DRAW TOGETHER, LIVE
Your child draws on the tablet — every stroke appears on your phone as it happens. Draw back with glowing ink, drop ⭐ and ❤️ stamps on their masterpiece. It feels like magic, because for them it is.
📺 YOUR VIDEOS, NOT THE ALGORITHM'S
Copy your own videos onto the tablet from your computer over Wi-Fi. No ads, no "up next", no rabbit holes. Videos resume where your child left off, and you control playback right from your phone — even the pause button, if you choose.
🏡 A HOME SCREEN WITH ONLY WHAT YOU ALLOW
Set Cubby as the tablet's home screen and your child sees big, friendly buttons for exactly the apps and activities you've approved. Everything else is simply not there. Toggle apps on and off anytime — from the tablet or your phone.
💛 WARM LIMITS, NOT WALLS
Time for dinner? Send a friendly note — "5 more minutes 💛" — that slides in over whatever they're doing. Your child taps a heart to answer. No alarms, no dead screens, no tears.
📱 THE PARENT APP (free companion)
Install "Cubby Parents" on your phone: watch drawings appear live, start videos, manage allowed apps, adjust volume and brightness, check the battery — from the sofa or the office. Everything works over your home Wi-Fi.
🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No ads. No tracking. No account needed.
• Nothing is uploaded anywhere — your family's drawings and videos stay on your devices.
• The phone link is end-to-end encrypted and works entirely on your own network.
• Works fully offline — planes and grandma's village included.
🧩 GROWING WITH YOUR FAMILY
Music, puzzles and co-play games are on the way — their buttons are already waiting on the shelf.
Made by parents, for parents. The first tester is two years old and takes the job very seriously.
