Bedtime Stories -Sleep

A story is already chosen when you open the app — with your child's name in it, ready to read aloud while the screen sleeps.

Bedtime should be the easy part of the day. Little Bedtime Stories opens with one story already chosen for tonight — no scrolling, no adverts, no signal needed.

Every story is about your child. Type their name once and it is woven through all 12,281 of them, from the title to the last line.

TEN SHELVES, CHOSEN BY WHAT TONIGHT NEEDS

• Calm & Mindfulness — slow, breathing stories for a wound-up child
• Big Feelings — for worried, cross or sad nights
• Habits & Routines — teeth, tidying up, going to bed
• Family & Love — parents, siblings, grandparents, belonging
• Soft Adventure — gentle quests that slow right down at the end
• Explore the World — space, oceans, nature, always home by the last page
• Kindness & Character — courage, honesty and small right choices
• Getting Along — sharing, listening, saying sorry
• Clever Minds — numbers, words and science, slipped in quietly
• Money Sense — saving, waiting, knowing what things are worth

READ ALOUD, WITH THE WORDS LIT UP Every word glows as it is spoken — bigger and brighter than the rest of the line — so an early reader can follow along instead of just listening. Start the story, put the phone face down, and it keeps reading with the screen off. A sleep timer stops it on its own at the end of a sentence, so nothing is still talking an hour after your child has fallen asleep.

CHOOSE THE VOICE AND THE PACE Pick from every narrator on your device — including British, Irish and Australian voices — and set the pace to Slow, Gentle or Lively. Slow for the youngest listeners, Lively for children who read along.

YOUR CHILD, BY NAME Type their name and whether they are a girl or a boy, and the stories become theirs: their name in the title and on every page, and heroes that match. Prefer not to say? That is an answer too, and it opens the whole library. Each child in the house gets their own profile, favourites and bedtime streak.

BUILT FOR A DARK BEDROOM Warm candlelight on a deep night sky, serif text at three sizes, and never a white screen at 8pm.

SAFE BY DESIGN No accounts. No adverts. No analytics. No tracking. The app never makes a single network request, so nothing about your child can leave the device — because none of it ever arrives anywhere else. Purchases and settings sit behind a parental gate.

150 stories are free forever — the opening stories of all ten shelves, enough for five months of bedtimes. One purchase opens the remaining 12,131. No subscription, nothing to renew, nothing to cancel.

Written for children aged 3 to 8.
