What MindFeast does

The mind feeds on ideas. Set the table.

Children are shaped by what they're repeatedly exposed to. MindFeast puts parents in charge by replacing device content with material they choose.

Parent agency

You create and curate the material you want your child to see: paintings, audio, questions, prompts, and passages for your child's learning and growth.

Beautiful inputs

Art, nature, music, poetry, geography, and memory work are first-class content, not rewards for finishing drills. The lock screen can hold Renoir as easily as it holds a math problem.

More than quizzes

Question slides check answers. Informational slides simply present information. Essay slides invite narration and reflection. Gratitude slides build a quiet, recurring gratitude practice with a journal the parent can read.

Respectful economics

Buy the core app once and own it. No advertising, no tracking, no engagement metrics and no subscription holding features hostage.

An informational slide presenting Albert König’s View of Palermo at Night (1924) — the painting behind this page, met as art on the lock screen. A question slide over a Hubble photograph asking what happens inside a nebula, with three answers to choose from. An essay slide asking the child to explain taxation without representation in their own words.

Real example slides from an engaged parent.

See it work

The same reach. A different encounter.

Ordinarily, the first thing a lit screen offers is something the algorithm chose. MindFeast offers the same moment with a parent in charge.

  1. The reach

    The tablet comes off the shelf, the same as any other day. MindFeast doesn’t block the moment, it meets it.

  2. The redirect

    Before anything else opens, a slide you chose appears: a painting, a question from this week’s history, a gratitude prompt.

  3. The engagement

    Your child answers, writes a line, or simply looks. Essays and gratitude entries are kept for you, behind a parent admin PIN.

  4. The unlock

    The screen opens as usual and the moment carried something of value. You decide which slides are active and how many are asked per unlock.

The product family

Calm, parent-controlled tools for learning at home.

Every MindFeast product is used in the founder’s home first. Each one was developed to empower individuals and leaves educational judgment with the family.

Artificial Intelligence

An Atmosphere of Living Ideas at the Lock Screen

Education should be an atmosphere of living ideas our children experience in their environment. This applies to the devices they use in the home.

A note from the founder

MindFeast exists because I’m a homeschooling father who builds software, and I wanted my daughters’ ordinary screen moments to contain beautiful content of value that I could curate.

Everything here is used in our home first. My girls use the Spelling Helper to assist them in their writing and they engage with enriching content through the MindFeast Lockscreen. My wife and I use the Charlotte opensource AI agent to help with administrative tasks. We built these tools because we needed them.
