Chapter One · Tonight’s bedtime story
Once upon a time,
bedtime got easier.
A personalized listening library for your child’s favorite audio stories, starring the characters they already love, and works with the audio players you already use. Three free stories, no new apps, no glowing screens after dark.
Chapter I
The night the
stars came down.
A private story for
Ada,
age five, brave.
Read aloud by
Charon · a warm, slow voice
Tonight’s hero
Pyra, the dragon
Chapter Two · An honest admission
You didn’t plan to fight the iPad every afternoon.
It starts innocently. A ten-minute video after snack. Then fifteen. Then the afternoon dissolves into a blue glow, and the stories you wanted your kid to grow up on are nowhere to be found. Only algorithm-flavored loops that leave everyone a little emptier.
Audiobooks help, but the characters are strangers. Read-alouds work, but not at 6:42 on a Wednesday when dinner is burning. What you actually want is the kind of story your grandmother told. Personal, specific, made for this kid. But on demand, and tonight.
So we wrote a library for exactly that.
Chapter Three · Three turns of the page
A story, in three small rituals.
Under two minutes. Once they’re set up, they’re on their way.
Pick a hero
Choose from twenty-six illustrated characters. The cat painter, the soft-spoken dragon, the tinkering princess. Or invent your own.
Tell us about your listener
Their name. Their age. A few things they love and a value you'd like quietly woven in. Courage. Honesty. Patience.
Press play
Tonight's story arrives in seconds. Ready to play here, or in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you already listen.
Chapter Four · A whole shelf of heroes
Twenty-six
characters,
and counting.
Your kid picks who shows up tonight. Same hero, new adventure, every single time. By episode six, they’ll know the voice before the title lands.
Pounce
the cat
painter, sleuth, tail-flicker
Pyra
the dragon
soft-spoken, fire-breathing, kind
Rowan
the knight
steady hand, open heart
Tiarabelle
the princess
royal inventor's workshop
Boulder
the bulldozer
small shoulder for big jobs
Trixleclaw
the dinosaur
thunderous feet, gentle mind
Sandwich
the horse
barn-raised, sunset-chasing
newShella
the mermaid
lullabies for the reef
Bounder
the unicorn
finds paths nobody sees
Arabella Twirl
the ballerina
turns ordinary into performance
Wagsley
the dog
loyal to a fault (and to dinner)
Captain Splash
the firetruck
ladder up, always
Chapter Five · Five minutes from tonight’s story
Hear it before you believe it.
An excerpt narrated in Charon — one of six warm, human-sounding voices. Pick a different one any night.
An excerpt from
Pounce & the Paper Lantern
About five minutes. Headphones recommended.
Chapter Six · The small details
Small details. Big bedtime.
Personalized, not generic.
Your child's name, their interests, their pace. The story is addressed to them. And only them.
Screen-free by design.
Every story arrives as a private podcast. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you already listen. No new app to learn.
Values, never lessons.
Courage. Kindness. Honesty. Grit. Embedded in the plot, never spoken to the listener. Kids notice what isn't preached.
A new episode, nightly.
The same hero. A new adventure. Enough continuity that your child remembers last night. And asks where it goes tomorrow.
“Close the iPad.
Open a story.”
— the whole point
Final Chapter · Tonight’s invitation
Begin tonight.
Three stories on the house. No credit card. No new app. Just something warm to press play on after the lights go down.
