Joju Play, learn and grow — the first five years

One joyful app for the whole of the early years.

Joju turns raising a 0–5 year old into something joyful and shared — and quietly does the heavy lifting too. A whole world of bilingual learning games, hundreds of illustrated stories and rhymes you can actually hear, gentle daily play, and the parent tools you reach for at 2am. All in English and नेपाली, all offline.

Free. On iPhone now in TestFlight beta; Android is on the way. Write to us for an invite and we'll send one email the day it ships — nothing else.

The idea

One calm app for everything the early years ask of you.

The first five years are equal parts wonder and logistics. Joju holds both — a joyful place to play and learn together, and the quiet tools that take the worry out of the rest.

A world of play

Bilingual flashcards, quizzes and real sounds across dozens of everyday topics — wrapped in streaks and rewards that turn learning into a daily habit little ones look forward to.

Stories & songs, read aloud

800 original illustrated stories plus nursery rhymes and Nepali folk बालगीत — all with real recorded audio, so storytime works even when your voice is tired.

Grow, and stay on top of it

Track milestones, get age-based daily play, and reach for the parent tools you need — vaccine reminders, a symptom guide, safe medicine doses — right when you need them.

What it does

A lot — and it never feels like a lot.

Everything for the first five years, in one warm, bilingual place.

Bilingual flashcards

1,200+ picture cards across 68 everyday topics — tap any card to hear the word in English and नेपाली.

Quiz games, three ways

Easy, hard and a listening round — with high scores and a top-ten board that keeps the family coming back.

Real sounds & gentle voices

Recorded animal sounds and natural, non-robotic pronunciations — far warmer than the usual text-to-speech.

800 illustrated stories

Original baby stories — 500 English, 300 Nepali — with show-and-tell pictures between the lines for reading together.

Rhymes & folk बालगीत

Classic nursery rhymes and Nepali folk songs, each with pre-recorded read-aloud audio you can rely on.

Milestones & daily play

Track development the gentle way, and get a fresh set of age-based activities drawn from real child-development guidance.

Smart vaccine reminders

Nepal, WHO and US schedules with due-date reminders for every upcoming visit — and a shareable immunization record.

When-to-worry symptom guide

An offline guide to fever, cough, rashes and more — with clear red-flag signs of when to see a doctor now.

Safe medicine doses

A weight-based paracetamol and ibuprofen calculator — clear guidance, always shown as information, never a substitute for a doctor.

Baby-expense tracker

See what the little one really costs — diapers, formula, clothes — by category, with monthly totals at a glance.

Shareable keepsakes

Turn a favourite photo into a polished memory card at story, post or square sizes — ready for Instagram, TikTok or the family chat.

Yours, and offline

Everything runs on the device. No account, no ads, no tracking — just you and your little one.

A quick look

Warm to play with. Reassuring when it counts.

The calm at 2am

When something's not right, you don't want to be googling. Joju's offline guide walks you through common symptoms and the signs that mean see a doctor now — plus safe, weight-based medicine doses.

  • Clear "when to worry" red flags, fully offline
  • Weight-based paracetamol & ibuprofen calculator
  • Vaccine reminders and a shareable record

It all stays on your phone.

Joju has no account and no sign-up. Everything — your baby's profile, photos, milestones, journal, expenses and records — lives only on your device. There are no ads, no tracking and no analytics, and the whole app works offline. Nothing about your family is ours to lose.
