About OctoStudio

With OctoStudio, you can create animations and games on your mobile phone or tablet – anytime anywhere. Take photos and record sounds, bring them to life with coding blocks, and send your projects to friends and family.

Create an animated story using your own artwork, a musical instrument that plays sounds when you jump – or anything else you imagine!

OctoStudio is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group, the MIT Media Lab team that invented Scratch, the world’s most popular coding language for kids.

OctoStudio is completely free of charge - with no ads, no in-app purchases, and no data collected. Create projects without needing an internet connection. Available in more than 20 languages.
