Summary

GCompris is a free educational software suite for children aged 2 to 10, with more than 100 activities and additional ones in development. Its subjects range from computer discovery, reading, and arithmetic to science, geography, colors, shapes, Braille, and telling time. The activities support practice inside and outside the classroom. Educators can select levels suited to each child's skill, while the GCompris-teachers companion allows customized datasets and collects pupils' results for some activities. The software works without an internet connection, and its privacy policy says it does not record user-provided information or collect information automatically. Downloads are listed for Windows, Android, macOS, GNU/Linux, and Raspberry Pi, although the latest version is not yet available for macOS. There is no iOS version because the project's licenses conflict with iOS building and publishing requirements. GCompris is developed and hosted by the KDE community and released under the GNU Affero General Public License.
