About

I'm a freelance web developer (PHP, mostly custom web apps and shop systems) running a small agency in Germany. Picture Book started as a side project — a read-only photo viewer that lets toddlers look at family photos without being able to delete, edit, or share anything, paired with a guide to Apple's Guided Access. No ads, no tracking, no subscription.

Picture Book: Photos for Kidsp/picture-book-photos-for-kids•

What's your approach to handing your toddler your phone?

Before I built Picture Book, my approach was "just don't" which worked fine until a dinner where my toddler got restless and I caved, phone on the table, no plan for what happened next.

What bothered me wasn't screen time itself, it was where it usually leads: YouTube's pull, or the hyped-up, overstimulating videos made for kids. I didn't want a solution that just swapped one rabbit hole for another.

Picture Book: Photos for Kids - Give your kid your photos, not your whole phone

Picture Book shows only the family photos and videos you choose — nothing else. Kids can look, swipe, and enjoy a slideshow, but can't delete, edit, share, or wander into other apps. Pair it with Apple's Guided Access to lock the phone down completely. No ads, no tracking, no subscription.
