Trazos
Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
What it is
Trazos is a handwriting practice app for children that guides tracing of letters, numbers, and words. It compares each stroke with a model using shape, direction, and coverage, then lets a stroke pass after three missed attempts so practice can continue. Activities include print and cursive letters, numbers, picture words, pre-writing lines, mazes, and free writing. English and Spanish are supported, including Spanish Ñ and accented vowels when the alphabet is set to Spanish. Up to four children can have separate names, colors, and progress. The app works offline, with letter names, sounds, and words recorded within the app. A parent area makes practice-sheet PDFs in US Letter or A4; the free plan includes three, while Full Access removes the limit. The maker says strokes, names, stars, and heat-map data stay on the device, and that there is no account, advertising, or analytics. Trazos is available for iOS; Mac compatibility requires macOS 14.0 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later, and the App Store listing says it is not verified for macOS. Free costs nothing; Full Access is $6.99, paid once, billed as one payment.
