Suncatcher
A picture-book reading companion

Catch the light of every story you read together.

Suncatcher turns the last hour of the day into a warm paper scene — pick tonight's book, dim the room, and watch a reading streak grow leaf by leaf.

Made of layered paper, not boxes.

Every surface in Suncatcher is a translucent tissue sheet. Lay one colour over another and they multiply into a deeper, glowing third tone — the way light passes through a paper suncatcher in a window. Nothing is outlined; depth comes from the overlaps.

overlap

Colour that multiplies

Tomato over leaf becomes a deep ochre; sky over leaf becomes teal. The interface models depth with translucency.

scenes

Scene-first, not screen-first

Each part of the app is a small picture-book island — a shelf, a streak garden, tonight's story — composed like a spread, with motifs drifting behind the content.

handmade

Warm and unhurried

A cream page, big rounded shapes, tape labels and gentle press feedback. It reads like a board book you can tap, never a clinical dashboard.

Three steps to a calmer bedtime.

01

Build the shelf

Add the books you own. Each gets a dyed-paper spine that glows on the shelf island.

02

Set tonight's scene

Choose a book and a mood, dim the lamp, and start a soft story timer.

03

Grow the garden

Every finished night adds a leaf. Skip one and the garden simply waits.

Read tonight, and catch the light.

Free for one shelf and three readers. Bring the whole bookshelf in under a minute.
