Sukhi Play

Hand over the laptop, keep your work. Sukhi Play keeps a small child inside the websites you chose.

The websites you chose, full screen, and nothing else.

Free · No account · Open source

The app running: a child picking a tile and playing, adverts being counted as they are blocked, the one minute warning, the screen that stops play time, a grown-up holding the button for three seconds, and choosing to grant fifteen more minutes

The real app, recorded start to finish. Nothing here is a mock-up. The site being played is a small demo page of ours, so no one else’s work is used to advertise this.

You decide when

Play time that ends by itself

Set it once. Every time the app opens, the clock starts again.

  • Hand it over and walk away. No negotiating, no watching the clock yourself.
  • The countdown only appears at the end. A clock on screen all afternoon is a thing to watch, and then a thing to argue about.
  • Then it stops. A gentle screen, and nothing else opens until you hold the button.
For grown-ups only

Little fingers tap.
Grown-ups hold.

  • Closing needs a steady three-second hold
  • Add a PIN for older, cleverer siblings
  • The same hold opens your settings
Grown-ups only

Press and hold for 3 seconds.

No surprises

Know before you hand it over

Each system decides what an app is allowed to hold. Here is where they draw the line.

Windows
  • !The Windows key still opens StartWindows lets no app hold that key, so Sukhi Play closes the menu the moment it appears. You see a flash, nothing more.
  • Everything else holdsTaskbar, Alt+Tab, Alt+F4, Print Screen.

Linux
  • !Wayland sessions keep some keysNo app can hold keys there. Alt+Tab and Super are still switched off on GNOME.
  • !The Snap can’t touch desktop shortcutsWant Alt+Tab locked too? Use the .deb or AppImage.

Force Quit is never blocked, on any system, so you can always get back in. Sukhi Play is one layer for a toddler, not a babysitter. Stay close by.

Made with by Mandeep Singh,
for his cheeky little Sukhraj.

It began with a three-year-old who pressed every key and clicked every button. So Mandeep built a screen where pressing all of them is perfectly safe.
