About ColorNest

ColorNest brings a coloring book, a tracing workbook and a sticker album together for children aged 2 to 8. There are 128 pages across 30 categories, including animals, dinosaurs, the farm, the sea, princesses, unicorns, vehicles and space: 92 hand-drawn pictures plus 26 big balloon letters and 10 balloon numbers, all with thick, clean outlines a small hand can stay inside. The fill bucket colors exactly the shape the artist drew, without leaking into the next one, and pencil, marker, pastel, brush, rainbow, glitter and spray sit beside it, with undo and redo for fills as well as strokes.

Trace & Color pages turn outlines into dashed and dotted guides that a child follows with a finger, building hand control before a pencil is involved. Every finished page earns stars, stars unlock stickers, and 90 badges are tied to things the child actually did. Stickers can be placed, moved and resized in picture scenes, every drawing adds a twig to Kiko's nest, and a daily page worth double stars plus three small missions give a reason to open the app today. Pages can also be printed at full quality or as a black-and-white outline sheet.

The parents panel sits behind a PIN with attempt throttling and shows real screen-time figures for today, the last 7 days and the last 30 days, with a daily limit that is enforced in the drawing screen; the figures count activity in the app and do not measure a child's ability. ColorNest has no ads, needs no account or e-mail address and works fully offline, and usage statistics stay off unless a parent switches them on. Every page, the classic toolbox and every badge are free. The optional Premium, bought once or as a monthly or yearly subscription, adds magic tools, extra palettes, sticker packs and scenes, a printable PDF book of the child's drawings and a profile for every child.

Who it is for

Children aged 2 to 8 who love to color, and parents who want an ad-free coloring app with real screen-time controls.

We design, build and publish our own apps with the same engineering we put into client software.

Built in Flutter and Dart as an offline-first app: progress, drawings and settings are stored on the device, printouts and the PDF coloring book are produced inside the app, and purchases go through Google Play Billing. The interface is localised into eight languages.

Frequently asked questions

Is ColorNest free?

Yes. Every page, the classic toolbox, every badge and the classic sticker shelf are free. ColorNest Premium is optional, as a one-time purchase or a monthly or yearly subscription with a 3-day free trial, and adds magic tools, extra palettes, sticker packs and scenes, the printable PDF coloring book and a profile for every child.

Does ColorNest have ads or need an account?

No. There are no ads, and the app needs no account, sign-in or e-mail address. Usage statistics are off unless a parent switches them on.

Can my child buy something by accident?

No. The store can only be reached from behind the parental check, so a child cannot start a purchase.

Does ColorNest work offline?

Yes. It works fully offline, and nothing a child makes leaves the device unless a parent shares it.

Is ColorNest on iPhone?

Not at the moment. ColorNest is published on Google Play for Android phones and tablets; there is no App Store version yet.
