Sukhi Play

Documentation

How it all works

Everything from installing it to what it deliberately cannot do, written plainly rather than as a specification.

Getting started

Installing Every way to install Sukhi Play on macOS, Windows and Linux, and what to expect the first time it opens. The first run What the walkthrough asks you, and what happens once it is done.

Using it

Adding and removing sites Take one from the catalogue, or paste any address and let the app work out what it needs. Play time Set how long a session lasts, and what happens when it runs out. The grown-up gate The hold, the sum, and everything that sits behind them. What your child sees The tile screen, and what is deliberately not on it. Sukhi Colouring The colouring book built into Sukhi Play: what it does, where drawings are kept, and how to use it on any device. Jazz's Studio The stationery studio built into Sukhi Play for older children: what it makes, how printing works, and where their things are kept.

Under the bonnet

How the lockdown works Every layer between your child and the rest of the computer, and what each one actually does. The window Full screen, always on top, and how that differs on each operating system. Editing by hand The configuration files, for anyone who would rather use a text editor.

When things go wrong

What this cannot do The honest list of what Sukhi Play does not protect against, written down rather than glossed over. If it ever locks you out Getting back in when the gate will not open, on every platform.

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.
