Why parents trust us

Sapling Hollow Studios makes quiet, screen-calm apps for curious kids roughly ages 3 to 10. We're a physics professor and a math professor (and parents) who got tired of “educational” apps that are really ad machines with slot-machine mechanics, so we built the opposite: open-ended tools for drawing, building, and play, with no ads, no accounts, no data collection, and no in-app pressure. Our first app is Sapling Draw.
