About

Bambam is a simple baby keyboard masher application that locks the keyboard and mouse and instead displays bright colors, pictures, and sounds. Note: for safety it is recommended to run the game in a dedicated login session, rather than as an application in your regular session, especially when leaving your child unattended with the game. Look for session type BamBam in your display manager login screen.

Things this page is missing or isn't precise about. Know the answer? A fix takes one click and a sentence, and the community picks it up from there.

  • License isn't a precise SPDX identifier — "GPLv3" doesn't say whether it's "only" this version or "or later" (GPL-3.0-only vs GPL-3.0-or-later). The exact SPDX id tells you precisely what you may do.

  • No icon — A link to the project's official icon would do.
