About & safety

Made for children. Trusted by parents.

PatchPup was built by a parent and their eleven-year-old, after one too many “Dad, why won't my Scratch game work?” moments. The web is full of general chatbots — none of them read your child's actual .sb3 file. That's the whole point of Patch.

Scratch-only scope

Patch only answers questions about the Scratch project your child has shared. Off-topic requests are politely redirected every time.

Conversations are moderated

Every message is checked before and after the AI sees it. Flagged messages pause the chat — and we never store unnecessary information about your child.

Minimal data stored

No child profiles. No long-term history. Transcripts expire in 30 days by default and can be deleted any time from Settings.

How it works, in three steps.

  1. Share a project — upload an .sb3 or paste a public Scratch link.
  2. Patch reads the real code — every sprite, every script, every variable.
  3. Ask a question — get clear, step-by-step help that stays on your project.

Where we're heading.

Patch is a Scratch helper today. Our next step is to support more of the languages and kits young creators actually use — same scope, same safety rules, new inputs.

— planned for a future version

Our promise — safe by default, not by accident.
