A Gentle Close to Every Day

A story, a lullaby, then quiet. The app is built around the moment a child falls asleep - so nothing cuts off, nothing lights up the room, and nobody has to sneak back in to press stop.

Read in your own voice

On iPhone and iPad, Personal Voice turns you into the narrator, so the story is read in the one voice your child knows best.

Every word lights up

Read-along mode brightens each word the moment it is spoken, so early readers can follow the page instead of only listening.

Choose the voice that reads tonight

Pick a narrator, set the reading speed, or switch narration off and read it yourself. Narration works with no internet.

Nine lullabies, one continuous set

Music box and classical sleep music flow into each other with a four-second crossfade, so nothing ever stops abruptly.

Six sleep sounds that never repeat

Rain, ocean, wind, stream, night hush and deep noise are generated live, so they never loop and never end.

A sleep timer that fades

Ten to ninety minutes. Everything fades out over the last thirty seconds; on iPhone the countdown lives in the Dynamic Island.

The screen goes dark

The screen goes dark while the story keeps reading, so nothing lights the room while they fall asleep. Daybreak returns in the morning.

Dim the screen, pick the palette

Auto-dim, story text size, colour themes and how much movement there is on screen - all tunable.

Kind, calm and private

No scary moments, no ads, no accounts and no tracking. Everything works offline.

Five Collections

Animals, fantasy, dreams, adventures and classics. Aesop, Andersen and the Brothers Grimm sit beside new stories written for bedtime - retold gently, with no scary moments.

Frequently asked questions

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later, and Apple TV on tvOS 17 or later. See a bedtime routine that actually works for how to fit it into an evening.

Can the stories be read in my own voice?

On iPhone and iPad, yes: if you have set up Personal Voice, you can choose it as the narrator, so the story is read in the voice your child knows best. You can also pick another narrator, change the reading speed, or switch narration off and read it yourself.

Will it keep playing after a child falls asleep?

Only as long as you want. The sleep timer runs from ten to ninety minutes and fades everything out over the last thirty seconds, and the screen can go dark while the story keeps reading.

Is the content suitable for young children?

Yes. 44 illustrated stories for ages 3 to 9 - animals, fantasy, dreams, adventures and gently retold classics from Aesop, Andersen and the Brothers Grimm - with no scary moments.

Does it need the internet, and is there a subscription?

No and no. Stories, narration, lullabies and sleep sounds all work offline, with no ads, accounts or tracking. Two stories, two lullabies and two sleep sounds are free; one purchase unlocks the whole library.
