What Grandma gets

A 14-second card. The wrapping paper opens, the drawing moves, and it ends on their message with a little photo of the original. Nothing for her to install.

Tap the card for sound.

A card for every occasion

Twenty borders drawn in crayon, for the moments coming up this year and the ones that come every day. And Plain, when the drawing should shine on its own.

Still their drawing

Three legs stay three legs. We ask the AI to move the drawing, not to fix it, and we check every animation before you see it. If something was added, we remake it at our cost.

Their own voice

Six seconds of them saying what they drew, played over the card. The recording never leaves your phone.

More cards from one drawing

Every drawing that comes alive is kept on your phone. A new card from it, with another border or message, is free.

One card is one drawing brought to life, plus as many cards from it as you like. No subscription, no account, nothing expires. If an animation can't be made, your card comes straight back.

Questions

Does it work with any drawing?

Any drawing your child made up themselves: animals, people, monsters, rockets, houses. Well-known characters like Spider-Man or Elsa can't be animated (the AI refuses them), and the app tells you before you pay.

How long does it take?

Usually 30 to 60 seconds. You pick the card and write the message while it's made, and if you close the app it carries on and waits for you.

Which phones?

iPhone, iOS 17 or later. Grandma needs nothing: the card is a normal video.

What if it isn't perfect?

Animations are made by AI, so one in ten isn't right first time. We check each one and remake it once at our cost; if it still can't be made, your card comes back.

Is it for kids to use?

It's made for parents and grandparents. Kids do the drawing (and the voice); you do the snapping and sending.
