ShadowHand

ShadowHand turns your hand silhouettes into living shadow creatures. Inspired by the ancient art of hand shadow puppetry, the app begins with a candlelit story — then invites you to create shadows of your own.

A Story Before the Play Light a candle. Follow a quiet narrative about light, memory, and the simple joy of making shadows on a wall. When the story ends, the stage is yours.

Capture Your Shadow Hold your hands in front of the front camera and shape them into one of eight creatures — a dog, bird, rabbit, wolf, butterfly, dragon, snake, or eagle. On-screen guides show you exactly how to position your hands. When your silhouette matches, capture it with a tap — or say a word like "snap" or "catch" for hands-free capture.

Watch Them Come Alive Each captured shadow enters a candlelit garden where your creatures move, wander, and interact. Your collection persists across sessions — a small world that grows with every shadow you create.

Your Shadow Gallery Browse every shadow you've captured. Rename them, save images to your photo library, or remove ones you no longer need.
