Designed for kids. Trusted by parents. A minimal first camera for little photographers aged 2-8.
Lemon Squeezy is a safe, simple way for kids to explore photography without the usual screen time headaches. It's designed for children to use independently and has a built-in photo library so they don't wreck yours.
KEY FEATURES
Huge shutter button (~7x bigger than the iOS Camera)
Kid-friendly photo gallery they can browse solo
Custom limits and delays to stop to photo spam
Thoughtful settings to tailor the app to your child
Space saving mode, batch export settings, and more
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1. Open Lemon Squeezy and give it to your child. (Pro tip: use Guided Access to ensure they don't switch apps).
Step 2. Enjoy ten minutes of actual peace while they snap everything in sight, safe in the knowledge they can't access your camera roll and the results won't end up in iCloud.
Step 3. The camera automatically shuts off when they hit your chosen photo limit. They can review everything and mark faves from the easy-to-explore gallery.
Step 4. If there's anything good enough to keep, parents can save individual photos or batch export the faves to the main Photos app.
PARENT-MADE
Hi, I'm Tom. I made this app for my children after watching them struggle with the default camera app. Everything here tackles a real problem, inspired by testing with my kids and their friends.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Lemon Squeezy doesn't employ gimmicks, gamification, or social features. There is no progression, no pressure, no silly filters or sticker packs. I don't believe kids need to be bribed into enjoying photography! My hope is that Lemon Squeezy can offer parents a more positive alternative to the many harmful types of screen time aimed at kids.
PRIVACY IS EVERYTHING
I care a lot about privacy. There's no sign-up required and the app collects no user data. Nothing is stored in the cloud. All photos are kept safely on device unless you choose to manually share them.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Neat idea!” - John Gruber, Daring Fireball
“This friendly, usable, ad-free camera is ideal for getting little ones into photography.” - Craig Grannell, Tapsmart
"My two year old gets complete creative freedom and my four year old can slow down and focus." - Ella, mum of 2
SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
Kids can take 20 photos per day completely free, with no ads or watermarks in sight. For unlimited sessions, upgrade to Lemon Squeezy Pro. This also unlocks custom themes and home screen widgets. I've tried to keep it affordable and there's a one-off payment option if you don't like subscriptions.
