Tiinyme
Tiinymesay “tee-ni-mi”

The calm of the playroom, wherever you are.

A calm play app for children aged 2 to 7, made by two mums. Your child explores a paper dollhouse and the little worlds beyond it, with Tiinyme the dog beside them. Nothing to read, nothing to win, no ads.

Join the free beta
Tiinyme’s paper house, cut open: a bathroom, bedroom and playroom upstairs, a kitchen, living room and hall downstairs, on a sunny street.
In Tiinyme’s playroom, a child waves beside Tiinyme the dog, with a tower of magnet tiles and a box of blocks.

It started on a quiet afternoon

You know the kind. The magnet tiles become a rocket, someone is wearing a cape, and you’re handed a pretend coffee. Nothing is flashing and nobody is in a hurry.

Then come the waiting rooms, the long drives and the flights. The playroom stays at home, and all you have is your phone.

We wanted that phone to hold the playroom, not another cartoon or a game shouting for attention. So we’re making Tiinyme.

Every touch gets an answer

These are real moments, recorded straight from the app.

Make it rainTap a cloud and it rains on the street. Let it go, and a rainbow comes out over the house.
Bath timeTiinyme comes home muddy. Run the bath, give her a scrub, and stand back when she shakes.
Throw the ballShe brings it back to your child’s feet, again and again.

Whoever they want to be today

Children make someone who looks like them, with glasses, freckles, a hearing aid or a prosthetic leg if they like. The wardrobe has capes and crowns, space suits, dinosaur tails and football kits.

Tiinyme’s bedroom with the wardrobe open: a child in a crown and a space suit stands beside Tiinyme, with capes, wings, a gown and a jetpack on the rails.

And which dog is Tiinyme?

In the beta, your child chooses. When it ends, the favourite becomes Tiinyme for good. Try one:

When it’s time to stop, the house goes to sleep

You choose “Time for a break”. The lights go out room by room, your child’s character is tucked into bed and Tiinyme curls up at the foot of it.

It feels like the end of a story, not the phone being taken away.

Questions parents ask

When can we play it?

We’re testing Tiinyme with families now. Join the beta and we’ll email you as soon as there’s a version for you to try.

What will it cost?

The beta is free. We haven’t set a price yet, and you’ll know it before anything is ever charged.

Is it screen time?

Yes, and we won’t pretend otherwise. The World Health Organization suggests no screens under 2, and no more than an hour a day from 2 to 5. Tiinyme is made for short, calm sessions inside those limits, with no autoplay and nothing endless.

Is it OK for my 1-year-old?

We’d say no, and so do the guidelines. A younger sibling can happily watch, but we’d keep the phone in the older child’s hands.

What do you keep about my child?

Nothing. Children never type anything or make an account. We keep only the email you give us here, and any answers you choose to send while testing. Our privacy policy says exactly what and why.

Which phones and tablets?

Tiinyme is played with the phone or tablet held sideways. We’ll confirm exactly which devices before your test version arrives.
