How it works

  1. Pick a tool by type (scans / calls / more) or by situation (won't brush, won't sleep…).
  2. Secretly choose the result, e.g. "tummy bugs found", "lots of germs", "the doctor says it's bedtime".
  3. Show your child: tap Start and the app plays the scan animation and sounds, or rings like a real call.

FAQ

What is Kid Coax?

Kid Coax (哄小孩神器) is a free web app for parents. You secretly pick the result first, then play a pretend scan, phone call or mini game for your child, to make brushing teeth, taking medicine, eating, sleeping, bath time and tidying up more fun.

How does it work?

Three steps: 1) pick a tool, such as the Belly X-Ray Scan or the Doctor Call; 2) secretly choose what should appear, for example "tummy bugs found" or "the doctor says it's bedtime"; 3) tap Start and show the screen to your child — the app plays the scan animation or rings like a real call.

Which situations does it help with?

Won't eat or picky eating, won't brush, won't sleep, won't bathe, fear of medicine or shots, meltdowns, won't tidy toys, homework, potty time, too much screen time, and being slow to leave the house. The home screen can also be switched to "find a tool by situation".

Is it free? What is "Support the creator"?

Every feature is free. "Support the creator" is an optional small tip; it does not unlock anything, and you can use every feature without it.

Do I need an account? Are photos or recordings uploaded?

No account is needed. Photos, recordings, names and settings stay on your device and are never sent to the developer. You can optionally back up to your own Google Drive.

Can I install it and use it offline?

Yes. On iPhone open it in Safari and tap Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android use Chrome → Install app. It then opens full-screen and most features work offline.

What is the Custom Call?

Add a photo of a family member or someone your child loves and record your own voice message; tap Start and the phone rings like a real incoming call.

Is this lying to my child?

It is designed as a pretend game between parent and child, like playing make-believe, to add a little ritual and fun. Use it to encourage, never to scare; when kids are older you can reveal the "magic" together.

Is it available in Chinese?

Yes. The app supports Traditional Chinese and English, follows your phone's language, and can be switched manually in the Help screen.
