Couldn't find a spelling practice app for my kids, so I built one.

The Problem:
My kids bring home weekly spelling words. The practice was just writing each word over and over—boring for them, and honestly, a struggle to keep them engaged.

I searched for apps but couldn't find anything that let me easily add his custom school list.

So I built Spellkitt.

What It Does:

  • Custom word lists (add your kid's actual homework)
  • 4 practice games (word scramble, fill the blank, etc.)
  • Parent dashboard (see which words are mastered)
  • Ad-free, clean UI

Current Traction:

  • Soft launched this week
  • Beta Testing: My kids have been the primary testers (and the best bug finders), as most people who said they'd test ended up flaking!
  • Testing freemium: free tier + $4.99/month premium

What I'm Looking For:
Honest feedback from other parents/builders:

  1. Would YOU pay $4.99/month if it meant your kids actually enjoyed their spelling homework?

  2. What's missing that would make this an "everyday" tool for your family?

Try it: https://spellkitt.com

Happy to answer questions about the build, pricing, or anything else!
