Hi Product Hunt, I'm GG the maker of Keybo. 👋 The story: I wanted my son to learn the mouse and keyboard before school, and everything I found either needed an account, showed ads, or was built for kids who already read and type fast. Keybo is what I built instead. What it is: a free "first computer" for children aged 5 to 7. A friendly fox mascot guides them through short, playful levels: 🖱️ Mouse: pointing, clicking, dragging, scrolling ⌨️ Keyboard: finding letters and numbers, Space, Enter, Shift ✍️ First typing: their own name, short words and sentences 🛡️ Staying safe: secrets, strangers, pop-ups, asking a grown-up Mistakes are never punished. A wrong answer just gets a friendly hint, and every finished level grows a little garden and earns stickers. What makes it different: 🔒 Private by design. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. It works offline and everything stays on your computer. 👨‍👩‍👧 A parent area behind a PIN: progress in plain language, daily play limits, up to 6 children, printable certificates, backup and restore. 🏫 Classroom mode for up to 30 children, and a portable mode that runs from a USB stick. 🌍 English, German and Spanish, with QWERTY, QWERTZ and Spanish keyboards. 💻 Windows, Mac and Linux. It's open source (Apache 2.0). Honest note: it's an early 0.x release and the apps aren't code-signed yet, so Windows and macOS will show a warning on first launch. The README explains why and how to verify the download (checksums and build proof). What I'd love from you: If you have a 5–7 year old, try it for ten minutes and tell me where they got stuck or bored. Tell me what's missing. What would you want a first-computer app to teach? If you're a teacher, I'd like to know whether classroom mode fits how you work. I'll be here all day and will reply to every comment. Thank you for taking a look! 🙏
