From a few thoughtful choices to a conversation worth having.
Set it up once, then let one useful question meet you in the rhythm your family already has.
Actual TalkSprout screens · Fictional family data
01 Keep it personal, not invasive
Create a profile with only what helps.
Add a nickname, whole-year age, interests, conversation themes, tone, and a natural moment. TalkSprout never needs a photo, birthday, school, diagnosis, contact details, or an account.
- Start free with one local profile; Full Family unlocks more.
- Every profile and preference stays on your iPhone.
02 Choose the right moment
Schedule around your real routine.
Pick morning, after school, dinner, bedtime, or a custom moment. Set different weekday and weekend times, and change or pause them whenever family life changes.
- Questions are queued locally in advance, not fetched at delivery time.
- Delivery time is approximate and ultimately controlled by iOS, Focus, and notification settings.
03 Let the question come to you
See the full prompt in the notification.
The actual question arrives in a local notification, so you can use it at the table, in the car, or during the bedtime wind-down without opening TalkSprout first.
- Open the app to mark it asked, choose another, save, favorite, or share.
- Age fit, recent questions, interests, and your selected tone shape what appears next.
04 Remember what connected
Keep the moments, skip the streak pressure.
Moments keeps a private record of questions you asked, saved, or favorited. It is a quiet memory aid for the parent, never a scorecard for the family.
- Missed days do not erase anything or trigger guilt.
- Recent history is included free; Full Family unlocks complete local history.
TalkSprout checks Apple Intelligence availability on your iPhone and keeps a curated question ready.
AI-powered with Apple Intelligence
Fresh questions. Designed for private, on-device creation.
TalkSprout Full Family includes an availability-gated path built on Apple’s Foundation Models framework. On a compatible iPhone, it is designed to create additional age-appropriate questions on device without sending family details to an external AI service. The curated offline library remains the reliable foundation.
- You choose the contextTalkSprout uses the age, interests, themes, and tone you selected for that child.
- Designed to create on deviceOn a compatible setup, Apple Intelligence is asked for a structured question without uploading the child profile to an external service.
- TalkSprout checks every resultAge fit, format, length, safety, avoided topics, and recent repetition are checked before display.
- Curated fallback stays readyIf the model path is unavailable or a result does not pass, TalkSprout is designed to immediately use a reviewed offline question.
Requires iOS 26 or later, a compatible iPhone, Apple Intelligence enabled, a supported language and region, and a ready on-device model. Per-child personalization must be enabled.
Verification status: This Foundation Models path is implemented, but eligible and ineligible physical-iPhone verification remains required.

Good to know
Questions parents ask first.
Is TalkSprout for children to use on their own?
TalkSprout is designed for parents and guardians. The adult chooses a child profile, schedule, and prompt, then brings the question into a real family conversation.
Does TalkSprout need an account or internet connection?
No account is required. Core prompts, child profiles, preferences, history, and notifications work locally on your iPhone. Optional on-device generation depends on a compatible device and Apple Intelligence availability.
What happens if Apple Intelligence is unavailable?
TalkSprout continues to work from its curated offline prompt library. On-device generation is an optional enhancement, never a requirement.
Is TalkSprout a subscription?
No. The core experience is free, and TalkSprout Full Family is a one-time purchase. Final localized pricing appears in the App Store.
Where is my family data stored?
Child profiles, preferences, prompt history, and local insights remain on your iPhone. TalkSprout does not require a custom account or cloud database.
