How it works

A bedtime ritual that takes thirty seconds to start.

No blank page. No awkward freestyling. Build a hero once and the platform writes a fresh, personalised episode every night with continuity, warmth, and a soft landing.

Step 01

Build a hero, together

Five short steps: looks, costume, a power, a weakness, and a catchphrase. Or hit "Surprise me" and the AI offers three to pick from.

Step 02

Pick tonight's mood

Theme, length, "had a hard day", or "scared of thunder tonight". Or just hit Tonight's story and we remember what you usually want.

Step 03

Let it play, hands-free

A calm reader fades the screen, a warm voice takes over, the moon pulses softly at the bottom of the screen. You tuck them in. The story ends itself.

The saga

A world your child comes back to.

Every episode adds to a private library: a hero card, a growing entity registry of friends and foes, and an evolution timeline. Yes, Captain Echo really did befriend Luna the owl in episode four. No, the storm villain has not shown up since.

  • · Ep 4 - befriended Luna the owl

From parents

Quieter bedtimes. Bigger imaginations.

"The first thing in eighteen months that has reliably gotten Theo to sleep without three reruns of the same dinosaur book."

Sara, mum of two

Bristol

"My daughter writes her hero's catchphrase on her notebooks. She calls it her story now. That part I did not expect."

Anais, dad

Lyon

"The hands-free bit is the killer feature. I tuck him in, his eyes close, the screen fades. It just works."

Common questions

Things parents ask us first.

Is it screen-time during bedtime?

Bedtime Mode is hands-free and dims to a near-black moon screen 90 seconds in. Most parents start the audio, set the device face-down, and listen along.

How does memory actually work?

After every episode we generate a structured summary: characters, places, and what changed for the hero. The next episode uses recent summaries plus pinned characters, so the world stays consistent.

What about my child's data?

We deliberately keep child data minimal: name, age, interests, and an avatar. It is encrypted at rest, with one-click export and deletion in account settings.

Can my child use it without me?

Yes. Child mode lets them pick a hero and theme. Story generation and account settings stay parent-gated with a four-digit PIN.

Tonight, try a quieter bedtime.

Build a hero in five minutes. The first three episodes are free.
