Download on the App StoreFamily Faces From Anywhere
Nana in Florida? Auntie in London? No problem! They can capture their silly faces and record their voices, then AirDrop when nearby or email from anywhere. Your little one gets a whole new set of familiar faces and voices to explore, learn from, and laugh at — no matter how far away the family lives.
Family Captures Faces
Nana, grandpa, aunties, uncles, and cousins download the app and capture their silliest expressions and record their voice.
Share From Anywhere
AirDrop when nearby, or email the profile from across the country — or across the world. One tap to send, one tap to open.
Learning Meets Family!
Your little one taps grandpa's face, hears his voice saying "find the nose!" and learns emotions, face parts, and family recognition through play.
How It Works
Three simple steps to learning through laughing
Capture Silly Faces
Take photos of family members making 22 different expressions — winks, smiles, peek-a-boo, puffed cheeks, and so many more!
Tap to Discover
Hand the device to your preschooler. They tap anywhere on the face and discover how expressions change — learning emotions and facial features along the way!
Learn & Giggle
Pure joy! Preschoolers learn to recognize emotions, identify face parts, and connect with family — all while laughing at every silly surprise.
Packed With Learning & Fun
Everything a preschooler needs, nothing they don't
Learning Games
Find the eyes! Tap the nose! Identify emotions! Three game modes that teach emotions, face parts, and family recognition while they play.
22 Silly Expressions
Winks, smiles, peek-a-boo, puffed cheeks, and more. Each one mapped to natural tap zones on the face, teaching facial awareness through discovery.
Your Own Voice
Record prompts in your voice so your preschooler hears mommy, daddy, or nana during learning games — not a robot.
Doodle Me!
Draw on faces with crayons, markers, pencils, sparkles, and an eraser. Develops fine motor skills while they create!
Family Sharing
Family captures their faces and voices, then AirDrops or emails them to you. Your preschooler learns to recognize everyone!
Octopus Mascot
Meet Pip! Your interactive octopus friend with eye tracking, bubble popping, and a secret dizzy easter egg. Spin him and find out!
Preschooler-Safe
Child lock is on by default. Little fingers can't accidentally delete profiles, photos, or voice recordings. You're in control.
Works Offline
No internet needed. Perfect for car rides, airplanes, waiting rooms, or anywhere you need instant learning and entertainment.
Two Ways to Capture
Use the Photo Booth to breeze through all 22 expressions with guided prompts that auto-advance, or go manual and capture each one at your own pace.
Unlimited Profiles
Mom, dad, nana, grandpa, aunties, uncles, cousins, babysitters — everyone gets their own profile with their own set of silly faces and voice recordings.
Privacy First. Always.
In a world of apps that harvest your family's data, we chose a different path.
Our Story
20 Years in the Making
We built this app 20 years ago, a much more archaic version, for our then little ones to use! We loved that it allowed them to see their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends, especially when they lived far away.
Their giggles and laughter provided pure joy to our hearts!
It was named in honor of their papa, and we hope that it provides your family as much joy as it has provided ours!
Now, two decades later, we've rebuilt Octopus Giggle™ from the ground up for a new generation of little ones — with the same heart and the same mission: meaningful learning through laughing, and bringing families closer together, one silly face at a time.
