Kids spell out loud — and every word stays private.
Bee Buddy is the spelling app where children hear a word, say the letters back, and grow a friendly bee with every try. A child's voice is never recorded, never saved, never sent to a server.

Buddy grows with every practice try
The privacy promise
Your child's voice is never recorded, never saved, never sent to a server.
Bee Buddy listens using Apple's built-in speech recognition to check spelling in the moment — then it's gone. Practice works offline, so a spelling session is just a child, a word, and Buddy.
Nothing is kept
No voice recordings are stored on the device or uploaded anywhere.
Works offline
The whole practice loop runs on the device — no connection needed.
No ads, no tracking
A child's data is never used for advertising, and there's no account to make.
How it works
One clear job per practice moment.
Bee Buddy isn't a worksheet on a screen. Each word is a short, brave try: hear it, spell it, understand what happened, then move forward.
A real 25-second look at practice
1Hear it first
Buddy says the word
The letters stay hidden. A child listens, the way a real spelling test works.
2Spell out loud
Say the letters back
Kids spell by voice — or type when that feels easier. Both paths always stay open.
3Learn the miss
Tricky words become practice
A missed word turns into a short memory moment, not a red mark and a score.
4Watch it add up
Every try grows Buddy
Practice fills the honeycomb and grows the bee, so effort feels like it counts.
Buddy grows
Practice you can actually see add up.
Every word a child masters grows Buddy — from a quiet egg to a crowned queen bee. Progress isn't a hidden score; it's a companion a child is proud of, and one a parent can check any time.
Egg
Hatchling
Cocoon

Parents see the progress, not just the play.
