A FREE healthy habits app for kids and families

Fun for kids, practical for parents, and backed by science

Eat, sleep and move your way to better health and wellbeing

SEND IN THE SQUAD

Podsquad is a free play-based wellbeing app to help families make healthy happen!

Podsquad is a wellbeing app for children aged 5-12 years and their families. Kids learn about eating better, moving their bodies more, and the importance of sleep through bite-sized lessons, tailored to their wellbeing goals.

They’ll earn rewards for their online activities, but more importantly for completing offline, real-life quests.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

In the Podsquad app, kids explore the magical world of Imago where they discover its colourful and quirky creatures - the Epipods.

Trilino, Firebloom, and the other Epipods help kids learn about healthy habits and give them real-life quests to put their learnings into practice.

  • Games, stories, puzzles, and quests make the learning experience fun.
  • Kids earn in-app rewards for online activities, but more importantly, for completing offline, real-life quests.
  • Gameplay is structured so that short bursts of online learning can lead to real-world activities and changes.

Play and creativity are at the heart of everything you’ll find in Podsquad.

Eat

Interactive content and recipes get kids hand-on in the kitchen learning about nutrition.

Move

Dances, challenges, and exercises help kids to progress with their physical activity goals.

Sleep

Audioscapes specifically designed to help kids wind down at bedtime, plus other helpful tools, support better sleep routines.
