Meet the cast
In MelodyMice, Squeak the mouse leads a little band for ages 3 to 5, and each band mate teaches one early music skill. Tap-Tap keeps a steady beat your child can feel in their feet, Sing-Back sings a tune for your child to echo, and Shaky tries a new instrument each time and listens to how it sounds.

How MelodyMice handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
MelodyMice runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
