A brand-new picture-book story every night, built around what your child loves and read aloud in your voice. For ages 3 to 8.
Meet Maya
Maya is a little girl who loves a story at bedtime, and another one in the morning. Her mum, dad, grandma and grandad read to her whenever they can. On the busy days, their voices still do.
That's what we make for your family: stories your child stars in, read aloud in the voices they love.
Try it
Pick three tiles, just like your child will in the app, and watch the first page write itself.
Read in Mum's voice
A taste of the first page. In the app, the whole story is written fresh each time, read aloud in your voice, and at the end of each chapter your child chooses what happens next.
You set things up once. After that, your child makes the story themselves, with big picture tiles and no reading needed.
Read aloud for about two minutes and every story can sound like you, even on nights you're away. Or pick one of our storytellers.
Their name, age, favourite things, and anything to keep out, like the dark or big dogs. Add a photo and they'll be in the pictures.
Big picture tiles for when it's for, where it happens and how long it lasts. Little ones do it all by themselves.
It's read aloud in your voice with pictures on every page. When a chapter ends, they choose what happens next.
Written fresh each time, never pulled from a library.
Every page is illustrated as the story is told. Add a photo and the hero looks just like your child.
Sharing, drop-off or bedtime worries? A character meets a similar moment and finds a way through. Your child is never named or blamed.
You choose how many they get. When they're done, the story waits for them until tomorrow.
Bedtime and nap stories slow down and get quieter towards the end, finishing with a whispered goodnight.
The words light up as they're spoken, so early readers can follow along.
Save favourite stories to the phone and play them without a connection, on long drives or flights.
Your child hears the stories. You stay in charge of everything else.
The grown-ups area needs a press-and-hold and your PIN, so little fingers can't change anything.
There are no adverts, no tracking and no analytics in the app, and we never sell your family's information.
We make a voice only with your consent, only your family can use it, and you can delete it any time.
A photo of your child is used only to draw them in their stories. Remove it any time and it's deleted.
