PlayLyft

For ages 3 to 6 · Parent and child together

The kids app that tells your kid to put the phone down.

One short play mission a day, made from a sock, a spoon or a cardboard box. No shopping trip. You pick 5, 15 or 30 minutes. Your child spends under 3 minutes on the screen.

Every little adventure becomes a memory worth keeping.

Today we need… a SOCK!

A day with PlayLyft

A “screen sandwich”: a minute on the screen, the real play off it, a minute to come back.

  1. 1

    Mission box

    1 min on screen

    Pip opens today's box. “Today we need… a SOCK!” Pictures show the steps.

  2. 2

    Phone nap

    5, 15 or 30 min off screen

    Your child taps Go. Pip falls asleep. The phone goes face down. You play together.

  3. 3

    Show Pip

    1 min

    Your child shows what they made, teaches Pip, or picks how they feel. All optional.

  4. 4

    Keepsake

    30 sec

    A memory card drops into the album. Then: “Tomorrow we need… a SPOON. Can you find one tonight?”

Quick Play

3–5 minutes

A busy day or low energy.

Discovery Play

10–15 minutes

The main daily mission.

Adventure Play

20–30 minutes

Weekends and the whole family.

Every mission has four soft exits: Only 5 minutes, Choose another, Save for later, Not today. None of them costs anything.

The whole child, not only school skills

The week moves across eight areas, so play stays varied. PlayLyft learns what your child loves and where they need more help, from two or three taps after each mission.

  • Big Moves

    balance, jumping, throwing

  • Clever Hands

    pinch, pour, cut, draw

  • Talk

    words, stories, listening

  • Think

    sorting, counting, patterns

  • Feel

    naming feelings, calming down

  • Friends

    turns, sharing, kindness

  • Do It Myself

    dressing, tidying, helping

  • Create

    art, music, pretend play

Memory Magic

Take a photo of what your child made. PlayLyft turns it into a storybook picture for their album. The wobbly tower stays wobbly. It is their work.

  • ✔ Always optional. No photo is needed to finish a mission.
  • ✔ A photo of the creation, not your child's face.
  • ✔ The photo goes to a cloud picture service to make the cartoon, only when you tap yes. It is stored privately.
  • ✔ The photo never scores your child.
  • ✔ Delete means delete: the photo, the cartoon and the notes.

What we will never do

  • No ads. Ever.
  • No buy buttons a child can tap.
  • No coins, loot boxes or leaderboards.
  • No streak that breaks. Rest days are fine.
  • No scores for your child. No “behind” or “ahead”.
  • No autoplay.
