In their own words
GCompris
GCompris is an educational software suite for children aged 2 to 10, with more than 100 activities and more in development. Its activities cover computer discovery, reading, arithmetic, science, geography, games, colors, shapes, Braille and telling time. Designed for learning and training inside or outside the classroom, it works without an Internet connection. Educators can choose activity levels to match each child's skill, and the GCompris-teachers companion lets teachers create customized datasets and receive pupils' results for some activities. The application privacy policy says it does not request or record user-provided information or collect information automatically. GCompris is free and available for Android, Linux, macOS and Windows; downloads also include Raspberry Pi. The download page notes that the latest version is not yet available for macOS. There is no iOS version, as the FAQ says iOS building and publishing requirements conflict with the software's licenses. The project is hosted and developed by the KDE community and released under the GNU Affero General Public License.
