Stories and sound, reimagined

The Story

kid.studio started as a side project by a stay-at-home dad in California who was frustrated with the kids' audio market. Why should a single story cost $15? Why can't these devices play podcasts? Why don't they actually work offline?

Avery is the answer to those questions. A screen-free audio player that works with any podcast, any Spotify playlist, any RSS feed. No proprietary cards, no locked ecosystem, no hidden costs.

kid.studio designs beautiful, screen-free experiences that bring imagination to life. We believe kids deserve technology that serves their creativity, not the other way around.

"Kids deserve technology that serves their creativity, not the other way around."

What we believe

Open by Default

Open-source hardware and software. You can see how everything works, modify it, and repair it yourself.

Honest Pricing

No hidden content costs. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. You pay for the device and the content is yours to choose.

Built to Last

Quality components, repairable design. Avery is meant to grow with your family, not end up in a drawer.

Family-First

Designed around how families actually live. Parental controls that make sense, kid controls that just work.

Two brands, one mission

kid.studio

kid.engineering

Engineering wonder.

The technical backbone. Open-source repos, maker resources, and engineering transparency. Together, the two brands represent our belief that great products deserve both beautiful design and honest engineering.
