Squawk is a full AAC app with real picture symbols, custom boards, and grammar support. Free, offline-capable, and nobody has to make an account to use it.
Free on the App Store for iPad and iPhone.
One universal download works on both iPhone and iPad.
No paywalls, no gimmicks. Just the tools someone actually needs to build a sentence.
No $250 price tag, no in-app purchases, no subscription sneaking in later. Download it and start building sentences today.
Every icon comes from ARASAAC's picture library, the same one speech therapists already use, not emoji standing in for the real thing.
Drag, drop, resize. Make a board that fits how someone actually talks instead of squeezing them into a template. Import or export anytime with the Open Board Format, so a board is never stuck in one app.
A dedicated core word bar handles tense and pluralization automatically, so full sentences come together faster.
Every tile below uses a real ARASAAC pictogram, the same art you'd actually see in the app. Tap a tile — it builds a sentence the same way the real board does.

Squawk speaks Open Board Format (.obf/.obz), so widely used vocabulary sets like these drop right in on either device.

Built by one developer who thinks AAC shouldn't come with a subscription. No investors to please, no upsells to protect, just a tool that should have been free from the start.
AAC is how someone talks. That's not something to meter by the month.
Open the app, start building a board. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to lose a password to.
Boards live on the device, no wifi required for everyday use. Turn on backup and it goes straight to your own iCloud, we never see it.
iPad and iPhone are live on the App Store today. Android is in closed beta, with macOS and a Windows tablet version planned next.
