Screen-free, card-based audio player for kids
Yoto is a screen-free audio platform that puts kids in control of listening through physical story cards. The core device, Yoto Player (3rd generation), is a one-time purchase around $109.99 and works with a growing library of free audio and paid content cards. The system emphasizes independent listening, safe design, and a simple interface suitable for ages 3–12. The companion Yoto App unlocks additional content, but the real magic is the tactile, offline-friendly storytelling experience that avoids cameras and ads. Yoto’s headquarters are in London, with a global user base and multiple regional support channels.
