Koobiba | Quick Start Guide
Hello!
Thanks for helping shape Koobiba, a product that makes kids and parents happy, away from screens.
- Screen-free audio player for ages 1+
- No cards, no figurines. Managed by your app
- Offline by design, plays without internet
- Connects to your phone only when you choose
- Works fully offline, even in airplane mode
How It Works
- Ships with default sounds so you can try it right away (mostly public domain, growing over time).
- Upload your own recordings, MP3 files, or browse the Koobiba catalog.
- You can even upload from a computer on the same network.
This is a prototype. Your feedback shapes what Koobiba becomes.
Here's what I ask from you →Your Koobiba
There's no screen. The status light near the volume knob tells you what's happening.
Tap any feature to learn more. Dashed circles show lights behind the enclosure.
Koobiba is not a Bluetooth speaker. It plays its own content, fostering your child's independent play.
