iPad Alternatives
Dex Camera, Karri Messenger 2, and more
Every parent knows the feeling of handing over the iPad just to buy five minutes of quiet. This week’s picks replace the scroll with something better.
Dex Camera turns the real world into a language lesson across 16 languages. Kids snap photos of what they see and learn the words. Karri is a screenless voice messenger with GPS that lets kids stay in touch through voice notes alone. The Daylight Kids computer uses a calm, paper-like grayscale display with only curated learning apps (no ads, no algorithms, no junk!). Cosmo’s JrTrack 5 smartwatch gives kids calling, texting, and GPS without apps or internet.
Put down the iPad.
