Everything you need to know about TinkerTaps — the calm, ad-free sensory app for babies and toddlers.

The Basics

TinkerTaps is a calm, ad-free sensory and hand-eye coordination app designed for babies and toddlers ages 0–4. It gives parents a portable collection of developmental activities they can use anywhere — at restaurants, in waiting rooms, on road trips, or at home when they need five minutes. Think of it as your carefully curated home activities, but in your pocket.

Yes — TinkerTaps is free to download on iOS, Android, and Amazon devices. The free version includes two activities so your child can start playing right away with no paywall, no credit card, and no catch.

No. TinkerTaps is 100% ad-free. No banner ads, no video ads, no "age-appropriate" ads — nothing. That decision was made on day one and it will never change. We're not a big tech company optimizing for engagement. We're a family who'd never hand our own kids an app full of ads.

TinkerTaps is designed for babies and toddlers ages 0–4. The activities focus on sensory exploration and hand-eye coordination — skills that are most actively developing in these early years. That said, plenty of 5-year-olds enjoy it too.

TinkerTaps is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android, and Amazon devices. Download links for all three are on our download page.

TinkerTaps is made by Courtright Collective LLC — a small indie app studio based in Nashville, TN. It was built by a parent who was tired of flashy, overstimulating toddler apps and wanted something better for his own kids. We're a family of four, not a big tech company. That shapes every decision we make.

Activities & Features

TinkerTaps includes sensory activities and hand-eye coordination games — things like shape matching, color exploration, nature scenes, and interactive elements designed to engage babies and toddlers without overstimulating them. Every activity is calm, focused, and built around real developmental milestones.

The free version includes 2 activities. Subscribe to TinkerTaps Premium to unlock 5 additional activities for a total of 7, plus access to all future activities as they're added. We're always building more.

The Parental Lock is a built-in feature that keeps your child in the app once you've handed them the phone. No accidental exits, no navigating away, no wiping your device — a real concern any parent who's handed a toddler their phone knows too well. Tap the lock icon to enable it before handing the device over.

TinkerTaps includes gentle, calm audio that complements each activity. You can toggle sound on or off at any time using the sound icon in the app — perfect for waiting rooms, airplanes, or anywhere you need quiet play.

Subscription

TinkerTaps Premium ($3.99/month) unlocks five additional activity slides, access to all future activity expansions as they're released, and the drawing activity that lets your child create their own artwork. Screenshot that artwork and order a one-of-a-kind custom t-shirt from our Etsy shop.

The T-Shirt Feature

Premium subscribers unlock a drawing activity where your child creates their own artwork inside TinkerTaps. Take a screenshot of their masterpiece, then visit our Etsy shop to submit it. We'll put your child's original drawing on a one-of-a-kind t-shirt — something to wear and show off forever.
