Turnseed

Play, talk & read together

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

One useful activity for the moment you are already in—plus caregiver-paced stories and Apple TV family sessions. Private and useful offline. Turnseed gives families one useful thing to do together in the moment they are already in. Choose a quiet moment, movement break, wait, nearby object, or story. Turnseed suggests a short caregiver-led activity, explains it clearly, then gets out of the way while the play happens between you. PLAY & GROW • Open directly to one age-appropriate activity—no account or onboarding required • Browse 36 original activities for communication, movement, sensory play, thinking, connection, and early literacy • Preview materials, steps, what to notice, and safety guidance before starting • Use optional spoken guidance, then place the phone down or turn it away • Finish with Loved it, Tried it, Not ready, or Not today—never a score or developmental ranking • Save favorites and avoid repeating the same recent activity READ TOGETHER For ages 2–3, picture-talk stories invite pointing, acting, naming, and conversation. For ages 4–7, optional narration can underline the word currently being spoken. The caregiver controls every page turn and can choose a slower reading rate. Stories never autoplay into another story. TURNSEED ON APPLE TV Turnseed TV is a standalone family-room companion. Choose an age-filtered movement, turn-taking, rhythm, finding, or memory session. A large cue appears briefly, then the television quiets while your family acts in the room. A caregiver must explicitly start every next cue. Shared stories also support manual page turns and optional word tracking. No phone pairing, account, or network setup is required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Turnseed works offline and contains no ads, analytics, tracking, purchases, subscription, or third-party content service. On iPhone and iPad, a broad age range, preferences, favorites, and bounded caregiver check-ins stay on the device and can be exported or deleted from the protected Parents area. Apple TV stores only its local age, narration, and reading-rate preferences. Turnseed offers educational structure for caregiver-led play. It does not diagnose, assess, treat, prevent, or promise developmental outcomes, and it does not replace medical, developmental, educational, or therapeutic advice. Supervise every activity and stop whenever anyone becomes uncomfortable or loses interest.
