Wind down

Twilight

The same five books, finally retired.

KiddyTales writes and illustrates a fresh story every night — about whatever your kid is into this week. Dragons on Tuesday, friendly foxes on Wednesday, a quiet story about being brave on Thursday.

How it works

Three quiet steps to lights-out.

  1. The KiddyTales home screen with age filters and a grid of story covers.
    01

    Pick the age

    Four reading levels from 2 to 7. The vocabulary, length, and pacing all gently shift to match.

  2. A story cover for tonight's tale with a soft illustrated scene.
    02

    Pick the theme

    Kindness, bravery, sharing, friendship, gratitude, courage — choose the lesson you want to lean into tonight.

  3. A reading-page view of a bedtime story with a soft purple illustration.

    Tonight's story is ready

    Read it together, or let the narrator do it. English or Spanish. Tap a word to hear it.

Dusk

Built for the bedtime moment.

Not the morning. Not the carpool. The quiet half-hour where your kid is finally still and you've got one more story in you.

Themes with morals built in

Pick the lesson — kindness, bravery, sharing, gratitude. The story carries it without lecturing.

Illustrated, every page

A full original illustration with every page turn. Quiet, warm, never overstimulating.

Narrated in English & Spanish

A calm narrator handles the heavy lifting when you've already read three stories tonight.

No ads. No data sold.

No autoplay traps, no targeted recommendations. Just the story, the kid, and the lamp.

Stories your kid asks for

Brand new every night. The "read it again" loop, finally a little easier on you.

Quizzes & gentle streaks

A 4-question quiz at the end — like a tiny book club. Streaks reward consistency, not bingeing.

Midnight

Pick the lesson. We'll write the story.

Twelve themes to lean into when you need a particular story tonight.

Kindness Bravery Sharing Friendship Gratitude Courage Empathy Patience Honesty Adventure Animals Family

From parents

Bedtime, but quieter.

"My four-year-old asked for 'a story about a brave little fox' and the app actually wrote one. He fell asleep clutching the iPad. I cried a little."

— Mira, mom of two (Austin, TX)

"We use it in Spanish three nights a week. It's the only screen-time I don't feel weird about — no ads, no autoplay, no algorithm trying to keep us up."

— Sofía, mom of one (Brooklyn, NY)

"I told it 'sharing' on a Tuesday and got a story about two raccoons who learn to split a sandwich. My daughter still talks about Mr. Whiskers."

— Hannah, mom of three (Portland, OR)

Questions

Before you tuck in.

Is this safe? It's AI-generated, right?

Yes, AI helps write and illustrate the stories — that's how we can give your kid a new one every night. Every story is shaped by guardrails for age-appropriate language, themes, and imagery, and we review continuously. Think of it like a librarian picking the right book — just faster.

What about my kid's data?

No ads. No data sold. No advertising profile built on your kid. We store only what's needed to run the app and remember your stories. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

How much does it cost?

7-day free trial, then a small monthly subscription — about the price of one physical book per month for an unlimited library that grows every night.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes — directly from your Apple ID subscriptions, in one tap. We don't make it weird.

What ages is it built for?

Ages 2 to 7, across four reading bands (0-2, 2-4, 4-5, 5-7). Vocabulary, sentence length, and story pacing adjust to match.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet — KiddyTales is iOS only today. Android is on the roadmap. Drop us a note via the contact page if you'd like to hear when it lands.
