Your child, your story

Make it about tonight.

Pick a theme, or type your own idea.

  • Add what happened today. Our dog Biscuit, a wobbly tooth, big brother Leo, the first day of school.
  • Leave out what worries them. Spiders, storms, anything scary. Save it once for every story.
  • Their name, if you like. A first name or nickname makes them the star. Or leave it out.
  • Pick a narrator and a length. Six calm voices; 3, 5 or 10 minutes; ages 2–4, 5–7 or 8–10.

Calm from start to finish

Made for bedtime.

  • Calm endings that slow down into a sleepy wind-down.
  • A dark night-mode screen, easy on tired eyes.
  • You press play. Narration never starts on its own.
  • A safety check on every story. It's made with AI, so read it through first.
  • Favorites to replay in one tap, for the nights they want the same one again.

Questions parents ask

Personalized bedtime story questions.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. Just your email, no card, for 5 days. Then it's $7.99/month if you keep going, cancel anytime. If you do nothing, it simply stops and you are never charged.

How fast do I get a story?

The text is ready in about 20 seconds, with narration a moment later. It only plays when you press play.

Can I add our pet or something that happened today?

Yes. Type it into "Anything for tonight's story?", like our dog Biscuit or a wobbly tooth.

What if my child has fears?

Add them to your saved "Leave out of every story" list, like spiders, storms or anything scary.

Do I have to give my child's name?

No. A first name or nickname makes your child the star, but it's optional. Leave it out and Lyra invents a friendly character.

Are the AI bedtime stories safe for kids?

Every story is written for your child's age and passes an automatic safety check before you see it. Stories are made with AI, which can make mistakes, so please read each one first.

Can I listen instead of reading?

Yes. Every story is narrated in one of six calm voices. Read it aloud yourself, or press play.
