Two taps to hatch
The first tap cracks the shell, the second breaks it open. Every stage has its own sound, synthesised on the fly so no two cracks are identical, and its own pattern of haptic buzzes.

Dino Eggs
My Roaring Dino
Tap the egg, meet the dinosaur, give it a voice. A game for small kids: crack an egg or rub away the gold, meet the dinosaur hiding there, read what it was — then hold the button and give it the roar you think it had.
Why Dino Eggs
Small hands, loud dinosaurs.
Scratch the gold
A dinosaur hides under a golden scratch-off coat cut to its silhouette. Rub the gold away with a finger — the phone buzzes softly as you go — and once most of it is gone, the rest melts off by itself and the dinosaur is revealed, with its recorded roar if it has one.
48 dinosaurs, 23 eggs
Every dinosaur arrives with a short read-together description — where it lived, what it ate, and how long it was measured in school buses — translated into all eleven languages the app speaks. Ten of the best-known are free; the full version opens all 48.
Record the roar
Hold the microphone button and roar. The recording is saved with that dinosaur and plays back when it hatches or when your kid taps it. One take per dinosaur is free; with the full version, keep as many as you like.
Built for three-year-old fingers
Big targets, three picture buttons on the menu with no captions, no timers, no scores and no fail states. Language, vibration and music volume live behind a settings button sized for adults, and the one purchase always asks a grown-up first.
Nothing leaves the phone
No account, no ads, no analytics, no servers of mine, and every dinosaur, egg and sound ships inside the app — it plays with the plane in the air. Voice recordings are plain files in the app's own storage — delete one in the gallery, or delete the app and they all go with it.
For parents
Your child's voice never leaves the phone.
The microphone is used for one thing: recording a roar while the record button is held down. Each take is written to a file in the app's private storage, plays back only inside the app, and can be deleted with the trash icon next to it. Nothing is uploaded — there is no account, no ad network, no analytics, and no server to upload it to.
The one thing that can be bought is a single full-version unlock: all 48 dinosaurs instead of ten, and as many roars for each as you like. The offer appears in the settings and whenever a child taps a locked dinosaur or tries to record a second roar, always behind a multiplication question for grown-ups. The purchase itself is handled entirely by the App Store or Google Play: no payment details ever reach the app, and your platform's purchase controls — Ask to Buy, Screen Time, Google Play authentication — apply to it as usual.
- No ads and no ad networks
- No account, no sign-up, no email
- No analytics and no crash reporting
- Plays offline — only the store needs a network
- One optional purchase, never a subscription
- Eleven languages, switchable in settings

About
Built for one very specific three-year-old.
My kid worked out how to tap a screen long before menus made any sense, so Dino Eggs has almost none: three big pictures, an egg you hit with your whole hand, and a dinosaur that shows up when the shell breaks or the gold comes off. The descriptions are there for the grown-up sitting alongside, and the recording button is there because the first thing my kid wanted to do with a Tyrannosaurus was roar back at it.
React Native without Expo, 48 hand-drawn dinosaurs, procedurally synthesised cracking sounds, and no backend at all.
