All your bedtime stories in one place

Personalized stories built around your child's interests, set up by you and by them: choose who's in it, where it happens, and leave a lesson for the next day. So your child not only falls asleep faster, but does it with an emotional focus that helps them grow. Read it aloud together — or, whenever you need to, play the narrated version.

Made to read together before lights out

Nothing replaces your voice: every story is designed for you to read with your child in bed. And on the nights you need it, you can also play the narrated version.

  • Your voice, their story

    Reading aloud is the best way to end the day: your child relaxes listening to you and feels you close until they fall asleep.

  • You can also play the story with a gentle voice

    On the most exhausting nights, you can play the narrated version: the same story, with a voice designed for kids. Great for car rides, too.

  • No screen before bed

    If you play it, the phone can rest with the screen off — no light in their face right before sleep.

  • Stories help them drift into sleep more easily

    When you want them to start falling asleep without you by their side, they can listen to their narrated story — 100% safe and age-appropriate.

Why a story before bed?

A nightly story is one of the bedtime routines pediatricians recommend most: it tells the body it's time to wind down, and it's a moment of connection your child looks forward to all day.

A routine that signals sleep

Doing the same things every night (bath, teeth, story) helps kids know what comes next and resist bedtime less.

Helps them wind down

Moving from play or screens to a calm story helps settle both mind and body before sleep.

Boosts language

Hearing stories every night exposes them to more words — and it shows in reading, comprehension, and school.

Strengthens your bond

That shared time also builds connection: your child feels your full attention, which helps build trust and support their emotional growth, night after night.

The hero of their own bedtime story

Every story is shaped around your child: their name, their age, what they love, and what they're struggling with — sleeping alone, fear of the dark, a new baby sibling.

  1. Truly Personalized

    Every story features your child's name, age, and interests — making them the hero of their own emotional journey.

  2. Safe & Curated

    All content is age-appropriate, positive, and carefully designed to nurture empathy, resilience, and self-awareness.

  3. No more reading the same story

    Never the same story twice. A new adventure every night — no more “not that one again!”.

A story ready for tonight

Simple and warm: choose, personalize, and the story is ready in a few steps — to read together or listen narrated.
