## Description

Free bedtime stories, personalised to your child — generated privately on your iPhone, then narrated aloud in a warm storyteller voice. No accounts, ever.

A bedtime story, written just for your child.

Generated privately on your iPhone in seconds — no accounts, ever, and nothing about your child stored on our servers.

Tell Once Upon a Bookshelf who you're reading to tonight — their name, their age, and whatever they're into this week, whether that's dragons, diggers or the moon. About twenty seconds later you'll have a gentle, calming story made for them, ready to read together.

WRITTEN AROUND YOUR CHILD
• Their name, woven through the story
• Pitched to their reading age, from toddlers to confident readers
• Pick a theme — bravery, kindness, friendship, adventure and more
• Every story ends calmly, made for winding down rather than winding up
• Read it yourself first, before they hear a word of it

26 CLASSIC TALES, FREE FOREVER
Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Tortoise and the Hare and 22 more, gently retold for bedtime. Every single one comes with narration built in and ready to play — no subscription, no credits, no catch. That's over two hours of bedtime reading before you spend anything at all.

READ TOGETHER, OR LISTEN
Turn the pages at your own pace, or let a warm, natural-sounding narrator read while you sit together. The classic tales are narrated already. For your own personalised stories, one audio credit adds narration — and once it's made you can replay it as often as you like, offline, at no extra cost. A sleep timer pauses playback when they've drifted off.

A SHELF OF THEIR OWN
Favourite the stories they love and they go onto your child's own bookshelf, ready to be asked for again tomorrow night. Add a profile for each child and their stories follow them.

BUILT FOR FAMILIES
• No accounts, no sign-up
• A short ad plays while a new story is written — remove it any time with a yearly subscription
• Saved stories and audio stay on your device
• We show you exactly what gets shared before anything is sent, and you can withdraw permission at any time

SUBSCRIPTION AND AUDIO CREDITS
Traditional Tales, and their narration, are free forever. Writing new personalised stories is free for everyone too, with a short ad while it's written — Remove Ads is a one-year subscription for anyone who'd rather skip it. Adding narration to one of your own stories uses one audio credit, bought separately in packs — credits never expire, and replaying a narrated story is always free.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
