About Zubu
Zubu is a calming screen app for young children aged 18 months to 3 years. It uses our own AI to settle your child without overstimulation.
What you get in practice
- Fewer meltdowns in tough moments
- Smoother car rides and waits
- A short, safe way to calm and reset
How it calms
Our AI watches simple engagement signals and gently adjusts:
Pace slows or smooths if your child is restless
Brightness softens for focus and comfort
Scene choice shifts between clouds, water, sheep and more
It also learns what works best for your child and becomes more effective with use.
Why it is different
- Calm by design – soft colours, slow motion, steady sounds
- Adaptive and learning – changes in the moment and improves over time
- Private and offline – runs on your phone, no ads, no tracking
- Built by AI experts – not a chatbot wrapper or a video feed
When to use Zubu
- During tantrums
- On car rides
- While waiting at the doctor or nursery
- When travelling or away from home
- For short parent breaks when calm is needed
Safety and privacy
- Short, supervised, parent-led sessions
- Works without internet
- No ads, no links out, no behavioural tracking
- Zubu is not a medical device and does not replace your judgement
For parents who worry about screens
Screens are not a cure-all, but real life is messy. When nothing else works, Zubu gives you a safe, calm option that avoids the bright, fast, attention-grabbing tricks that turn children into iPad kids.
Based on research
Our scenes follow research on early attention and soothing: slow visuals, predictable motion, gentle sounds, and lower brightness to reduce overstimulation and support regulation.
