A quick reading challenge guards the settings: three numbers are shown as words and must be tapped as digits. Fast for you, a closed door for pre-readers — and it changes every time. Every purchase and every outside link sits behind it. Inside:
- Choose the Canvas: Pick exactly which effects and backgrounds your child can reach
- Your Child’s Menu: Turn the pull-up tray on or off — it can only ever offer what you’ve allowed
- Quiet Hours: Automatically lower the volume around bedtime (22:00–06:00 by default, adjustable)
- Hush Mode: Instantly silence all sounds when needed
- Learn in Order: Letters and numbers can go A→B→C instead of random
- Seasonal Effects: Toggle seasonal animations on or off, or pick a season
- Always Remembered: Your preferences persist — and a one-time unlock can be restored on a new device

Why I made this
I made Tombli when my own kids were little, because I couldn’t find the thing I actually wanted for them: a simple, no-nonsense canvas you tap and draw on, with nothing to win and nothing trying to sell them anything. Just something that could hold their attention through the short windows every parent knows — a phone call I couldn’t send to voicemail, two minutes in the bathroom, finishing dinner around something hot I’d rather nobody was toddling under.
That’s why so much of it is free. Those few minutes are worth a great deal when you need them, and I didn’t want any parent to have to pay to get them. If Tombli earns its place in your house and you’d like to help me keep making things for other families, the extras are there — but that’s a choice, not a toll.
