Rediscover the magic of simple play.

Everything you need to save the afternoon

Tinkori isn't just a list of ideas. It's a smart tool designed to find the right idea for right now.

👶

Age-Smart Ideas

A 2-year-old and an 8-year-old play differently. We tailor every card suggestion to match your child's exact developmental stage.

⏱️

"Reality" Filters

Only have 15 minutes? Wearing nice clothes and need zero mess? Filter the deck to match your time and energy instantly.

🃏

The Daily Deck

Stop searching forever. We generate a fresh, finite deck of 5 ideas every day. Pick one, do it, and feel good about it.

🌿
✨

Reconnect with reality

AI is taking over the digital world, but childhood happens on the living room floor. We help you disconnect from the algorithm and focus on tangible, messy, real-life fun.

🤫

Quiet the noise

Most apps want you to scroll forever. We show you one gentle idea at a time so you can actually pick one, close the app, and go play.

🥣

Use what you have

No trips to the craft store. We focus on activities using everyday household items—whether that's a laundry basket, some tape, or just your own furniture.

🖨️

Print & Play

We know screens can be a distraction. That’s why every card is printer-friendly. Print them out, stick them on the fridge, and leave the phone in the other room.

🏷️

Fair pricing

We'll launch with a generous free version and a very low monthly subscription for the full library (less than a coffee ☕).

📱

Anywhere you go

Launching on iOS, Android, and Web. Whether you're at home or on a trip, Tinkori is in your pocket ready to help.

A note from the builder

"I'm a parent who wanted to play more and scroll less."

I got tired of the noise online and wanted a simple tool that didn't feel like another chore list or an endless feed. So I decided to build Tinkori. With three kids under eight, I know firsthand the effort it takes to keep them entertained and happy. I am building this to be the thing I wish existed for my own family. I hope it helps us all get a little more messy and a little less digital.
