There wasn’t a crisis.
No breakdown. No turning point.
Just one ordinary evening.
The kids were playing. We were both on our phones.
We answered a few messages. Scrolled a little.
Someone asked to play. We smiled. “In a minute.”
But that minute slipped by.
And then another.
Later, we realized we’d missed something important —
not just that night, but a pattern.
We were with our kids.
But not really with them.
Not because we didn’t care.
Because we were tired. Distracted. Trying to keep up with everything.
We weren’t failing as parents.
But we were drifting — just a little, just enough — away from the moments that mattered.
PerkyPlay started with one idea:
Protect 45 minutes a day.
No phones. No guilt. Just focused time together — on purpose.
A built-in timer.
One simple activity.
A rhythm we could repeat — even when life felt overwhelming.
We didn’t want another app giving us advice.
We wanted something that held space — quietly, consistently — for presence.
PerkyPlay is helping other families do what we needed help doing:
Turn toward each other. Just once a day. For real.
Not for show.
Not for stats.
Just because connection isn’t a luxury.
It’s a protective force — especially for kids.
And we believe it’s worth protecting.
