Built at the Kitchen Table. Made for Real Classrooms.
When classic animation tools vanished and apps filled with subscription traps, a teacher and father built the studio he wished existed.
Hi, I’m Sethi! As an educator bringing stop-motion into the classroom and a dad of young kids, I saw firsthand how transformative tactile animation can be.
A few months ago, sitting at our kitchen table surrounded by Lego bricks, clay figures, and cardboard backdrops, my kids went to open our go-to animation app—only to find it had been quietly discontinued and pulled from the App Store.
When I searched for alternatives for my classroom students and family, every app on the store was either bloated with $9.99/month subscriptions, plagued with third-party tracking, or so complicated that young kids spent all lesson fighting the interface instead of animating.
So I built Amber Animator. Designed at the kitchen table with my own children as chief testers, and refined with real classroom feedback, it is 100% ad-free, completely private (everything stays securely on your iPad), and designed to spark genuine creative confidence.
