A cool camera built for your creative kid.
Kids snap photos with their voice, then turn them into stories, silly voices, scavenger hunts and games — all made from their own pictures, all on the phone. Simple enough for a three-year-old, calm enough to just hand over.
Hi, I'm Cheddar. I'm cheese that takes pictures.
Take a photo by saying the magic word
Little kids can't juggle a self-timer, a tripod, and “everybody hold still.”
Long-press the giant shutter and just say “cheese!” Cheddar hears the word, counts down out loud, and snaps the shot — completely hands-free. Perfect for group photos and wobbly hands.
Photos that talk back — in silly voices
Kids ask a hundred questions about every picture they take.
Tap a photo and Cheddar tells you what he sees, out loud, in a voice you picked — Robot, Pirate, Wizard, and seven more. The words appear one at a time as he says them, so early readers can follow along. Tap his face for a different character. It all happens on the phone, and you can switch it off entirely.
These are the real voices from the app — tap a character to hear it:
Kids record their own storybook
Your kid tells the world's best story about a photo… then forgets it by dinner.
Tap record and let them narrate — up to 20 seconds in their own voice. It replays in a cosy “storytime mode” with a slow cinematic zoom, like a tiny movie they made themselves.
Hear a story a kid recorded — tap to play:
Send them on an adventure
Another screen that pulls kids away from the room they're standing in.
Cheddar hands your kid a mission — “find three comfy chairs!” — and cheers them on out loud while they hunt. No reading needed, and the phone checks each find right where it sits. Finds are kept as trophies, and a grown-up picks how long each adventure runs.
A dozen games, all made from their own photos
A camera is great for about four minutes. Tap the corner of the camera and the whole app opens up — no reading, no scores, and nothing to lose.
Where's Cheddar
He's hiding in one of their photos. Tap him!
Jigsaw
Their photo, in pieces. Drag them back together.
I Spy
Cheddar names something; they find it in their photos.
Spot the Difference
Two copies of a photo, one sneaky change. Find it.
What's Missing
Look hard — then one of their photos vanishes. Which one?
Peekaboo
One photo zoomed way in. Tap to zoom out, guess out loud, then Cheddar reveals it.
Match Up
A memory game dealt from their own photos. No timer, no score, no way to lose.
Odd One Out
Three go together, and one doesn't.
Guess What
They snap anything; Cheddar guesses — loudly, wrongly — and declares them the winner.
Rainbow
Find something of every colour, one photo each — then Cheddar builds a rainbow from their shots.
Collection
A trophy case with a slot for every kind of thing — each fills with their own photo.
Photo Booth
Three silly faces on cue, then a little movie of them.
So simple a three-year-old can use it
Tiny buttons and menus full of words are a non-starter for pre-readers.
One giant shutter, a few chunky color-coded buttons, and zero text to read. Portrait-locked, one-hand friendly, and nothing to set up — kids just point and press.
You set the limits. Hand it over and relax.
It's a walled garden — no internet to wander onto, no ads to tap, nothing to buy.
Everything that changes a setting, shares, or deletes sits behind a quick math gate only grown-ups can pass.
- Per-hour photo caps & gentle break timers
- Selfie & gallery locks, delete protection
- Everything runs on the device — photos are never uploaded
- Photos stay inside the app, not your camera roll — you save the keepers
- No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no “just one more”
Plus a few more tricks up its sleeve
Share the magic
Turn a Story or Tell Me into a little video — photo, gentle zoom and narration — to send to Grandma.
Silly sounds
Swap the shutter click for a random goofy noise — a moo, a ribbit, a honk.
Decorate it
Stickers, frames and filters on any photo. They never touch the original — take them all off again any time.
Friendly gallery
Big thumbnails, “Today” date headers, one-tap faves, and filters for Faves, Voices, Stories & Explorer.
Happiest in little hands
Wobbly taps, silly faces, and very short attention spans — Cheddar is built for exactly how little kids really use a camera.
Give them a really cool camera, not the internet.
