HmmBee at home

Good Screentime.

HmmBee’s interactive stories help children develop emotional skills and positive habits, at school and at home.

HmmBee Plus takes that growth further: more stories and Pause & Guess moments, a curated library of books, videos that get children moving and creating, and quizzes that spark curiosity — screentime that helps them grow, not just pass time.

Where we started

Isn't “good screentime” a contradiction?

That’s where we started too.
Why screens at all?
Shouldn’t children be outside instead?

Then came two better questions. Is there anything children can only get from a screen? And how do we make the screen time they do have worth having?

Those answers shaped what we built: screentime that leaves children calmer and more engaged, rather than overstimulated and drained.

71%

of parents of under-12s worry their child spends too much time on screens.
