Personalized bedtime stories, read aloud

Tonight, the story is about them.

Tell us about your child once. Check in for thirty seconds each night. We write a story where they’re the hero, and read it aloud in a voice you chose — so you can lie down next to them and just listen.

No screen for the child. Ever. It’s audio only.

How it works

Thirty seconds of your night. All of theirs.

1

Tell us about your child

Once. Their name, their age, who they love, what they’re into this month. Two minutes, and you never fill out a form again.

2

Check in each night

How are they feeling? How was the day? A few taps, one-handed, in the dark. The story bends around your answers.

3

Press play

A brand-new story where your child is the hero, read aloud with gentle sound behind it. You just lie there and listen too.

What makes it theirs

Not a story library. A story written tonight.

Their name, in the story

Their best friend, their dog, the tooth they lost on Tuesday. The story knows, because you told it.

A voice you choose

Margaret reads slowly on purpose. Thomas is low and warm. June sounds like a favorite librarian. Preview each before you pick.

Gentle sound underneath

Rain on a window. A fire settling. An owl, far away. Layered quietly under the narration, never over it.

A library of the good ones

Keep the stories they ask for again. Replay them on the nights nothing new will do.

Every story arrives with its own watercolor illustration.

This is what 8:45pm sounds like

“Wren pressed her ear to the oak, and the oak — very quietly — knocked back.”

From other tired parents

Bedtime went from a negotiation to the part of the day we both look forward to. She asks the oak tree questions now.

Sarah · mother of one · Portland

I didn’t want AI anywhere near my kids. But there’s no screen, no app for him — just a story where he’s the brave one. He’s asleep before the end most nights.

Marcus · father of two · Austin

The check-in is the part I didn’t expect to love. Thirty seconds of actually thinking about her day — it makes the story land, and it makes me feel human at 8pm.
