Turnseed
Little turns, lasting learning
Only for Apple TV
Free
Apple TV
Open to one small thing you can do together right now. See it, try it, then put the screen away. Private and useful offline.
Turnseed opens to one small activity you can do with your child right now. A simple visual shows what to do, one sentence makes it clear, and Try it now begins without setup.
The first activity needs no objects and keeps the screen pointed away. When a brief shared cue fits later, Turnseed quickly moves to a dark screen while you act together. The iPhone/iPad app includes 13 original offline activities. Every activity follows interest, adjusts quietly, and ends automatically.
For families who choose an older age range and confirm that one brief shared-screen cue fits, Turnseed also includes three original device instruments. Turnlight chooses who leads a real-world turn, Echo Lantern provides a gentle rhythm to echo together, and Pattern Pocket briefly reveals a two-step pattern to recreate after the display darkens. The final turn always happens without the device.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• See one activity and its visual demonstration as soon as you open the app
• Start the safe no-object activity with one tap and no account or setup
• Put the screen away while you talk, move, notice, and play together
• Answer “How did it go?” in ordinary language, including when they simply were not interested
• Let the next action adjust quietly from what happened
• Use Turnlight, Echo Lantern, and Pattern Pocket as brief offline signals inside real-world play
• Look back at recent activities under a parent check, without ranks or diagnostic labels
• Export or delete everything stored on the device from the parent-only Privacy surface
• Ask for More Ideas from activities already in the app, without an account, purchase, network, or API key
• Choose among four standalone Apple TV options: three offline Room Turns plus Turnlight, a four-turn television referee that goes dark while the family acts
• Optionally pair iPhone or iPad for an ephemeral room-scale cue
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Turnseed requires no account, child name, exact birth date, photo, voice, camera, microphone, location, contacts, advertising ID, or analytics profile. The complete starter loop and original seed curriculum work offline. Local activity information is protected on the device and controlled by the caregiver. The Apple TV companion receives no family profile, activity history, settings, purchases, or persistent family state.
Turnseed contains no embedded or streamed third-party video. Its activities, words, symbols, and device signals are bundled and original.
MORE IDEAS FOR GROWN-UPS
More Ideas chooses from pre-written Turnseed activities already on the device. It does not accept child personal data or free-form family history. Every suggestion is checked against the same safety rules and shown to the caregiver before use. The first release works without a network connection.
Turnseed is an educational structure for caregiver-led play. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent, rank development, or replace professional care. Stop whenever the learner turns away, becomes distressed, or loses interest.
