Mijn Momentje: draw & play

Mijn Momentje (Dutch for "my little moment") is a calm drawing and play app for children aged 4 to 8. No ticking clock, no lives to lose, no ads cutting in. Just a little moment of their own. Does this sound familiar? You hand your child a tablet for some quiet screen time to draw, and within a minute something goes wrong. A video starts shouting. A restriction lock pops up after five minutes. The Play Store opens by accident. And you're left wondering why a simple children's app actually needs personal data. That was the exact frustration I kept running into. Eventually, I decided to build this safe app for toddlers and young children myself. WHAT’S NOT IN IT 🚫 No ads or store pop-ups 🚫 No in-app purchases, no subscriptions 🚫 No accounts and no sign-ins 🚫 No tracking or data collection (100% privacy) 🚫 No internet access: the app works completely offline WHAT’S IN IT ✔️ Free drawing on a blank canvas with brushes of various widths, stamps, and cheerful effects ✔️ 42 coloring pages for kids, ranging from simple shapes for toddlers to more detailed designs ✔️ Take a photo and color right on top of it ✔️ 7 educational children's games: Word game, Riddle game, Tangram, Seek & Find, Maze, Tic-Tac-Toe and Matching Pairs ✔️ Each game has three difficulty levels, from preschool to early school grades, so it grows with your child ✔️ 60 words, 210 riddles, and 25 tangram figures: plenty of variety ✔️ Save creations in a personal gallery, print them out, or send them to grandparents GENTLY PACED Children earn stars by drawing, coloring, and playing. These unlock new coloring pages and earn them one of 21 collectible rewards. A wrong answer costs nothing: if they miss, they can simply try again. You configure how quickly the stars come in. FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS • Settings, printing, and sharing a drawing are protected behind a math problem that is trivial for an adult and too difficult for a young child • See how much time has been spent in the app and set a friendly break reminder • Built-in text-to-speech feature for children who cannot read yet: tap the speaker icon to hear a specific sentence aloud (requires a local voice installed on your device; the app explains how to set this up) • If you want to color a photo, the app opens your device's camera app. Mijn Momentje requires no direct camera permissions itself, and the photo stays on your device • Everything your child creates stays on the device unless you explicitly share it • Fully available in both Dutch and English DESIGNED FOR TABLET AND PHONE Mijn Momentje is specially designed for tablets and smartphones. ABOUT THE CREATOR Mijn Momentje was built by a single person in their spare time, for children in my own local circle. There is no company behind it and no testing department: every single screen was conceived, drawn, and tested by the same person. That is precisely why there are no ads and the app collects nothing. Nobody needs to turn a profit on it. That does mean I rely entirely on word-of-mouth from watchful parents. Does something behave unexpectedly, or are you missing a feature?
