Voice first
Reading and typing on a small screen can be frustrating. We focus on a simple idea: hold a button, speak, and get back to the adventure.
The OkayTu story
More freedom to play.
A familiar voice close by.
OkayTu started with a parent’s wish: an easier way to talk with the kids while they are out playing. We’re building simple voice communication for Apple Watch, so a familiar voice can be close by without giving a child a full smartphone.
Our approach
Keep it simple. Make every message clear.
Parent led
A parent handles pairing, so a child can focus on talking. In the current beta, the child’s Watch connects to one paired guardian.
Clear status
Saved is not the same as heard. We design message updates to make that difference clear, including when a completed recording is waiting for a connection.
Meet Tu & Pip
Friendly guides, not distractions.
Tu is the taller aqua character. Pip is the smaller yellow one. Together, they bring a little warmth to a very small screen.
Their job is to make talking feel approachable, even before a child is confident reading. We’re shaping their poses and expressions around what the app is doing: listening, sending, or waiting for a connection.
Building carefully
Getting the core voice experience right.
OkayTu is in private beta development. Here’s what that means today.
Current focus: voice
Two-way voice between active, paired Watches and parent iPhone receiving are implemented. iPhone replies are not available yet. Family-managed Watch installation, real-world latency and background delivery still need physical-device validation.
What we’re working towards
Location sharing, directions, low-battery alerts and a deliberate Help action to notify family are planned. They are not available in the current beta. OkayTu is not an emergency service.
