BrightKidz

Things worth a child’s attention. No ads, no sign-in, no data.

BrightKidz is the name over two products for children: the BrightKidz Library, for readers seven to twelve, and Wrenfield, spoken stories for children six to eleven. Each is held to the same three refusals, and each has its own check that fails the build if a refusal stops being true.

No advertising

A child cannot tell an advertisement from the story around it. Putting one there is taking advantage of exactly that, so there are none — not a banner, not a sponsorship, not a placement inside a game.

No sign-in

There is no account, so there is no password to lose, no email address to collect and no profile of a child for anyone to hold.

No third parties

No analytics, no fonts from someone else’s server, no embedded players. Every file is served from our own site or packed into the app, which is why nothing can watch a child read.

BrightKidz Library

Live

Illustrated reading for children seven to twelve — science, nature, space, code, history, and things to make with what is in the kitchen drawer — with browser games and short books alongside. A child opens it and reads. There is no account to make and nothing that follows them from one visit to the next. It is free.

Every picture was drawn for the library, and is served from the same place as the text, which is why the no-remote-image rule costs nothing to keep. Body text meets the AAA contrast standard rather than the AA minimum most sites stop at, because some of its readers are on a cheap screen in a bright room.

On Android the whole library is packed inside the app, so it works on a car journey or in a house with no signal. On Google Play it is still listed under its older name, BrightKidz Hub. It is the same library.

The check that enforces it

The deploy fails on any external link, any remote image and any unresolved placeholder, and a game that tries to reach the network fails the build too. The Android app declares no internet permission, and its packaging step refuses a build with a link out of it. A page that could phone home never reaches a child, because the release stops before it does.

Wrenfield

Coming to Google Play

Short, spoken stories set in one small village with the same children. In each one a child reads how somebody feels, decides what they want, chooses the words, and finds out what happens next. There is no score: the feedback is what happens next, and more than one choice can be right.

Wrenfield comes in two titles, each its own app: Wrenfield: Friends & Fallings-Out, for children six to eight, and Wrenfield: The Clubhouse, for nine to eleven. Each is paid for once, up front, with nothing to buy inside it and no advertising. Each works without the internet and collects nothing. Neither is on sale yet; the first story of Friends & Fallings-Out can be played free in a browser now.

The check that enforces it

The build reads each app’s merged manifest and refuses it if a single permission is declared — internet included — and refuses outright if the manifest cannot be found. Another check refuses a build in which a child can reach a purchase. Text must survive twice the normal size, and every control is complete for a screen reader.

Where to find them

Both live under brightkidzhub.com. The library is at library.brightkidzhub.com and on Google Play; neither asks for an account. Wrenfield’s first story plays at wrenfield.brightkidzhub.com. Each title’s store link goes in the day its listing is public and not a day before.
