Apps for families

Gentle apps, with an animal inside

Apps for children, for parents, or for both, that do what no toy can. Each one has its own mascot: a snail who loves calm, a hermit crab crazy about nursery rhymes… and more getting ready.

Where does the name come from?

lenanimo /le.na.ni.mo/ noun, plural, toddler talk

  1. “Les animaux” (French for “the animals”), the way a toddler learning to talk says it. “Look, lenanimo!”
  2. A family of apps where every animal has a job: calming the table, playing with your ears, and soon much more.

The animals

Each animal has its own page to get to know it. Pick yours.

Colimo

The garden that grows when the table is calm

Put the iPhone in the middle of the table: while it stays calm, Colimo walks on and picks flowers. When the noise goes on, he hides in his shell and a soft chime invites everyone to settle down.

Nautilo

The memory game you play with your ears

On Nautilo’s beach, every seashell sings a nursery rhyme. Your child listens, remembers and finds the ones that sing the same tune: a gentle game for the ear, memory and attention.

Apps with a good reason to exist

We only make an app when it brings something no toy, book or board game can. And we design it to make real life better, not to replace it.

  • Only what an app can do

    A snail that hears the table settle down, seashells that sing nursery rhymes: none of it could exist on paper.

  • Real life first

    Every app starts from a real family moment, dinner, play, and helps it go well. The screen is a nudge, not a destination.

  • Made to be put down

    Our apps don’t try to keep children in front of the screen as long as possible: they help with a moment, then step aside.

  • An animal for a companion
  • In French and English
  • Clear prices: the store’s, no fake discount

Who’s behind the animals?

Lenanimo is the family brand of Helby Studio, a small independent studio based in Paris. Each animal is imagined and built there, then illustrated with the help of artificial intelligence.
