Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
Mentored by Vita
#81C784 WellnessForge is a health, nutrition, and life skills academy for ages 9-14 where students learn evidence-based health education — nutrition analysis, first aid, mental health skills, personal health habits, and safety decisions — aligned to National Health Education Standards (NHES 1-8). Parents can review content and control access through the built-in parent portal.
Characters who teach
Meet the cast
WellnessForge's characters each practice one healthy-choices skill. Read checks what a food label really says, Pause says no under pressure, Steady breathes and calms down before deciding, Mend knows basic first aid, and Ask finds a trusted adult for help. Dawn, Drowse, Relish, Romp, and Shore cover naming feelings, rest, gratitude, joyful movement, and personal boundaries. Vita is the mentor who guides them.

Mentored by Vita — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How WellnessForge 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
WellnessForge 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.
