Hi there! I’m *treebetty.
I’m a mom who creates apps for kids.
My focus: simplicity, design, and delight.
Treebetty’s apps have been featured in Apple’s New & Noteworthy and Best Apps for Kids 5 & Under section of the App Store. The popular ‘Peek-a-Zoo’ series first debuted in the App Store in 2011 and was quickly followed by the ‘Infant Zoo Series’. Ten years later, they’re still being enjoyed by infants and toddlers around the world. Their continued popularity is testament to their timeless design and illustration.
Treebetty was originally founded in 2003 as a graphic design studio by designer Jenny Talavera. With the advent of the iPhone five years later, along with the birth of her son, treebetty’s focus shifted to designing and creating apps for babies and toddlers. She believes kids deserve apps with great design and delightful content. As a parent herself, Jenny also believes parents deserve apps that are free of annoying sounds.

Keeps my son occupied for hours!! For me to take a shower, him to stay calm if he’s awake in the car, still on the plane, SO MUCH! Moms- if you need a few minutes, to do anything.. even snuggle your hubby.. highly recommend!

Infant Zoo
Although we now own several apps by TreeBetty, this one is still my favorite. My kids love the designs, the music, and the animal sounds. The peacock is especially wonderful!

Peek-a-Zoo
This is the best time out app I've seen so far. My 3 year old loves it. It helps give him a visual representation of time. I have 1 more free use and then I will be buying the full version.

The simplicity of this app is great! I love the details in the animals and greatly appreciate not having to close annoying ads while running the program. My baby is four months old and this is one of the best apps I found that is age appropriate.

Egg Heads
I got this for my 6 month old son. He loves it! The app encourages him to play with it, and each time the “egg” hatches, he gets a cute surprise. It’s great that the faces represent a broader slice of humanity as wellI’m grateful for this app to keep my kid amused.

Infant Faces
All 4 of my grand kids , 2-8, really enjoy this app.They love the color and animation of the sea creatures. It is a springboard for the older kids to help find out facts about each sea creature !

Peek-a-Zoo Underwater
My baby just loves this app!! She is mezmerized by it, has learned the sequence in which the animals appear and their noises, so she imitates them. She is now learning to differentiate each setting so she chooses her favorites and play them repeatedly. The app is very simple, meaning that there are no loud songs or strobbing lights so I feel safe letting her play with it. A real must buy for any baby!!!

Thoughts & Ideas
From an App Journey
What’s a ‘treebetty’?
Without fail, one of the first questions I get when I give someone my business card or email address is “What’s treebetty?”
From Mom to App Developer
Another question people always ask me is “How did you start making apps? Aren’t you a graphic designer?!”
Feedback is Gold
As an indie app developer, thoughts and feedback from children (and librarians!) are like gold–precious, sometimes hard to come by, and something you can never have enough of.
