About

Making Things is a family-run studio building thoughtful iOS apps for children - powered by AI, grounded in privacy & safety.

A Family Business, Building for Families

Making Things is a family-run business. We build apps the same way we raise our kids with care, intention, and a deep sense of responsibility. Every decision we make starts with a simple question: would we put this in front of our own children?

That question keeps us honest.

AI That Stays Out of the Way

We believe artificial intelligence is at its best when you don’t notice it’s there. Our apps use AI to adapt to each child adjusting difficulty, surfacing the right content at the right moment, and responding to how a child actually learns rather than how a curriculum assumes they should.

There are no chatbots. No gimmicks. Just software that quietly gets smarter the more your child uses it.

Built for Kids, Designed for Trust

Children deserve better than what most of the App Store offers them. We hold ourselves to a higher standard:

  • Privacy first. We collect only what’s necessary for the app to work. No ad tracking. No third-party analytics harvesting your child’s data. What happens on your child’s device stays on your child’s device.
  • Safety by design. Our apps have no social features, no external links, and no content that isn’t curated by us. There is nothing for a parent to worry about.
  • No ads. Ever. We sell apps, not attention.

We comply with COPPA and Apple’s guidelines for kids, but compliance is our floor, not our ceiling. We build the apps we wish existed for our own family — and we think yours will love them too.
