Hello everyone! I’m a programmer and a father to a 5-year-old boy. I’d like to share with you an app I recently developed called Twinkle Art

The inspiration for this project came from my son, Luke. Like many children, he loves to doodle. While his drawings might not be considered masterpieces, as parents, we can read so much love in them. As his artwork kept accumulating, we found ourselves in a dilemma: keeping them took up too much space, but throwing them away was heartbreaking. As a programmer, I naturally thought of solving this problem digitally.

I started conceptualizing this project last November, and it finally launched on Children’s Day this year.

Twinkle Art is an app designed to help parents and teachers scan, organize, and store children’s artwork (currently available only for iOS). Here are its main features:

  1. High-Quality Scanning: Easily scan and auto-crop your child’s artwork in high definition within the app.
  2. Artistic Enhancement: Add frames to the artwork, giving them a sense of formality and artistry.
  3. Interactive Descriptions: Add written descriptions or even voice introductions by the child for each piece.
  4. Album Organization: Create and categorize art albums for easy management.
  5. Online Exhibitions: Create online art exhibitions based on different themes or content, allowing you to share with more people.
  6. Secure Storage: All artwork is automatically saved in iCloud, ensuring safe and permanent storage. No need to worry about losing precious creations due to device loss or damage.

Twinkle Art is more than just a scanning tool; it’s like a personal digital art gallery for your child. Through this app, we can permanently preserve every masterpiece from our children’s growth journey, witnessing their creative path.

If you have a little artist at home who loves to draw, I hope this app can help you preserve and celebrate their creativity!

You can try it here: Twinkle Art - Save kids’ art, and I’d love any feedback!

Also welcome to view the online art exhibition I made for my child. If you like his T-Rex drawing, he would be very happy!
