Product: Owlbert

Hello from Owlbert

A learning app for children, and a blog about how we build it.

Owlbert is a learning app for children, made by Bare Metal Labs. Kids practice at their own pace; parents see how it’s going. We designed it privacy-first, and we’d like to show our work. This blog explains how Owlbert is built, plainly and honestly, including what it doesn’t do.

How a day of practice works

A parent chooses how many minutes a day (10 to 90, 30 unless changed). Owlbert builds that day’s plan once, the first time the child opens it, and keeps it if they come back later.

  1. Parent sets the minutes and subjects10 to 90 minutes a day.
  2. Owlbert builds the day's planOnce a day, the first time the child opens it.
  3. The child practicesAt their own pace.
  4. The parent sees how it wentIn the parent area.
A day of practice, in four steps.
