DrawyCheese Soon
Coloring & drawing for little hands
DrawyCheese is a coloring and free-drawing app designed from the ground up for children aged 2 to 5. Two modes: tap pre-made line-art templates to fill them with color, or draw freely on a blank canvas with simple kid-sized brushes.
The whole child-facing interface is icon-only — no reading required. Large touch targets, forgiving interactions, no timers, no scores, no 'wrong'. Every action is reversible, every drawing auto-saves to a Gallery and syncs across the family's devices via iCloud.
No ads. No third-party tracking. No analytics SDK that collects personal data. All purchases, external links and parent settings sit behind a parental gate. Kids-category-safe by design.
What it does
Coloring mode
- Pick a line-art template, tap a region, it fills with the selected color
- Shared color palette as large round swatches at the bottom
- Undo, restart (with gentle confirm), auto-save to Gallery
- SVG-based templates — crisp at every size, no re-authoring per device
Free drawing
- Blank canvas with Apple's PencilKit under the hood
- 3 kid-sized brushes (small · medium · large) + eraser
- Finger or Apple Pencil, both draw with pressure sensitivity
- Same colour palette as coloring — one mental model everywhere
8 template categories
- Animals · Sea creatures · Vehicles · Nature & weather
- Food & fruit · Dinosaurs · Shapes & first concepts · Fairy-tale world
- Manifest-driven — new templates ship by dropping an SVG, no app update
- Starter set per category in v1, growing over time
Safe & calm by design
- No ads, no behavioural tracking, no IDFA/ATT, COPPA-aligned
- Parental gate for every purchase and every external link
- Icon-only UI — no reading required; pre-readers can use it alone
- No timers, no scores, no fail states; gentle audio and haptic feedback
Everywhere a child draws
- iPad-first layout, also iPhone and Mac (Mac Catalyst)
- iCloud sync keeps the Gallery current across the family's devices
- Offline-first — a plane trip or a weak Wi-Fi day never blocks drawing
- Freemium: one non-consumable 'full pack' unlock behind the parental gate
