Designed for children

Cognitive Load is the working memory needed to complete a task. Storytel’s child mode removes filters and notifications so that kids face fewer choices and less effort, making the app easier to use.

Progressive Disclosure means showing features only when needed. Storytel hides advanced options in child mode so that children see only what’s relevant, helping them feel less overwhelmed.

Selective Attention is focusing on what matters. By stripping out distractions, Storytel helps kids zero in on books, which means they can find and enjoy content faster.

Uber uses a similar technique with "simple mode" by enlarging buttons and reducing visible options. Both apps lower complexity so that users—kids or older adults—find it easier to navigate.

Revolut Junior also simplifies its interface for children, keeping design and onboarding clear and familiar. Both Storytel and Revolut Junior show that reducing options for kids improves understanding and comfort.
