A Chardie app · iPad
A calm, shared space for saying what matters. Two people, one iPad, no timers and no scores — and everything stays on the device.
For anyone who finds speaking difficult — and the person beside them helping.
Kammunicate is an AAC app — augmentative and alternative communication — designed for iPad. Instead of relying on speech, you draw, write, tap a ready-made card, add a photo, or place a sticker, then pass the conversation back and forth. It's made for two people sharing a single iPad, sitting together: one person expressing what they need, and one person supporting them.
It suits anyone whose voice isn't always the easiest route — a child or adult on the autism spectrum, someone recovering their communication after illness, someone who experiences selective mutism, or anyone who simply finds it easier to show a thought than to say it out loud.
Lay the iPad flat on the table between you. The screen divides in two — your half faces you, and your partner's half is turned around to face them. Nobody reads upside-down, and nobody passes the iPad back and forth. You create a message, send it across, and they reply.
See the ways to expressSketch an idea or write a word with your finger or an Apple Pencil. Pressure sensitivity makes it feel natural.
More than 150 ready-made cards across everyday categories — feelings, needs, food, people and more — a tap away.
Add a photo from the camera or your library to show exactly what you mean, when a word won't do it.
Add feeling and lighten the moment with a tap. Small touches that make a message yours.
Record a short spoken message when a picture isn't enough. Optional, and only if you turn the microphone on.
Every exchange is kept in order on the iPad, so you can look back over what was said together.
No countdown timers. No scores keeping track of how quickly you reply. Kammunicate is deliberately unhurried, so there's room to think and space to try again. Easy Read mode makes everything larger and simpler, and gentle background music can settle the mood if you'd like it.
As you use it, Kammunicate notices which cards tend to help and offers them sooner. It can recognise handwriting and drawings to suggest the right card, and a simple on-device dashboard shows patterns over time for the people providing support. Every bit of that runs on the iPad using Apple's own frameworks. Nothing is sent away to be analysed.
The kind of privacy a communication tool ought to have.
Drawings, cards, photos, voice messages and history are stored only on the iPad. Kammunicate has no servers to send them to.
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start — there is nothing to create and nothing to log in to.
No analytics SDKs, no advertising, no third-party code of any kind. Deleting the app deletes everything with it.
Kammunicate is available for iPad on the App Store. Questions, or setting it up for someone you support? We're glad to help.
