hold the paw
A paw presses the glass from the inside. Finger down — the evening world starts to stroll by. Finger up — everything gently pauses. No menus, no buttons, nothing to learn.

Paw Walk is a voice-and-touch walking game. A small creature strolls with your child at dusk, points at things by the road, and asks — what is it? Say the word out loud, and it's yours to keep.

01 how a walk goes
one paw, one road,
one little voice
A walk is a small ritual with a beginning and an end. Your child supplies the voice; the game supplies the world — and it listens far more than it talks.
“what is it?”
Something appears by the road every 15–25 seconds. The creature stops, points, and asks. Your child answers out loud — and the game listens for exactly that word, on the device, for five seconds at most.
collect + picnic
Every answer is celebrated — there is no way to get it wrong. Treasures fly into the backpack, and 3–5 minutes later the walk ends the same good way: a picnic under the moon.
02 the privacy promise
you hand over a screen.
it hands back nothing but the game.
A children's app should be boring to a privacy lawyer. Paw Walk is built so the safest sentence is literally true: your child's voice never leaves the device.
-
The mic opens only when the paw glowsFive seconds per question, maximum, and a visible indicator the whole time. Closed at every other moment — enforced in code, not just promised.
-
Heard in memory, then goneAnswers are recognized on the device itself. Voice is never written to disk and never sent anywhere — there is no recording that could leak, because no recording exists.
-
No ads, no trackers, no data brokersNo third-party ads or analytics SDKs at all. No advertising IDs. Nothing is sold, because nothing is collected to sell.
-
Money talk is for grown-ups onlyEvery price and purchase lives behind a parental gate. The child's side of the game never mentions money — no timers, no pressure, no dark patterns.
-
Works with the internet offThe whole walk runs offline. No account for the child, no sign-up, no email — just a paw and a walk.
03 a small, finite ritual
healthy screen time
is the feature
Paw Walk is a daily ritual, not an endless feed. When the walk is done, it's done — the creature gets sleepy and says see you tomorrow. Words grow with your child: six categories, three difficulty bands, and a gentle toddler mode for ages 2–3 where the creature names everything first.
3–5 min
One walk is one little story — 8–12 things to name — then it ends. On purpose.
1 walk a day
The free ritual. It resets at local midnight — never extended by nagging, streaks, or tricks.
20 min
If a session ever runs long, the creature suggests a rest at the next natural pause.

05 questions parents ask
fair questions,
straight answers
Does Paw Walk record my child's voice?
No. During a question, the microphone opens for at most five seconds and the audio is analyzed in the device's memory — on the device. It is never saved to a file and never sent over the internet. When the window closes, nothing of the voice remains.
Does it work without internet?
Yes — the entire walk is offline. The only network use is store purchases. Offline, everything simply keeps working.
What if my child doesn't want to talk — or can't yet?
Then today is a quiet walk, and that's fine. Every object is collected anyway: the creature names it, invites a repeat, and any happy sound counts. There is also a tap mode with no microphone at all. There are no fail states in Paw Walk.
What ages is it for?
It's designed for children aged 2–7. A toddler mode for ages 2–3 models every word first and accepts any vocal answer; older children get harder words as they succeed.
Will my child see ads or be pushed to buy things?
No and no. There are no ads on any plan, and everything that costs money sits behind a parental gate on the grown-ups' side. The child's game never shows prices, timers, or locked-content sadness.

One email at launch. No newsletter, no drip campaign, nothing shared with anyone.
