Bedtime stories for ages 2 to 5

A calm bedtime routine.
The same every night.

Teeth brushed, pyjamas on, lights low. Then Lumi or Otto tells your child one short, slow story, and when it ends the screen fades to dark and the app goes quiet.

The friends

Two places to fall asleep in.

Each friend has their own world, their own voice and their own stories, in English and Turkish.

Lumi · the clearing

A leaf boat, a moon window, and a little snail lantern.

Otto · the deep sea

A kelp hollow, a stone with a hole in it, and the last one awake.

At bedtime

Three steps, then lights out.

  1. Choose togetherYour child picks a friend and a story. No account, nothing to set up first.
  2. About five minutesThe same opening notes and the same unhurried pace every night. Towards the end the story grows slower and simpler, so a child who drifts off misses nothing.
  3. Then quietThe screen fades to dark and nothing plays next. You can leave the phone where it is.

Made for sleep

Everything slows down to help your child fall asleep.

  • A sleepy voiceThe narrator reads more slowly than everyday speech, with long, soft pauses between sentences: a pace chosen for drifting off.
  • Calm, smooth motionLumi and Otto breathe and sway gently. From the middle of the story they move less and less and the scene slowly darkens, so everything winds down towards sleep.
  • A soft endingQuiet music stays under the voice all the way through. After the last word it fades out over more than a minute, so nothing startles a child who is drifting off.

How it behaves

Nothing here is trying to keep anyone up.

  • No adsNowhere in the app, of any kind.
  • No autoplayNothing rolls into a next episode. When a story ends, the app goes quiet.
  • No scoresNo streaks, stars or rewards to come back for.
  • No accountNo sign-in, no profile, nothing to set up before the first story.
  • OfflineOnce installed it needs no connection.
  • Parent gateThe sleep timer, volume and language sit behind a button you hold, not a stray tap.

Behind the design

Every detail has a reason.

We can't tell you this app is clinically proven to put your child to sleep. No bedtime app can. Be sceptical of any that says otherwise.

No 432 Hz tuning, no solfeggio frequencies, no binaural beats. We looked for the evidence behind all three. It isn't there.

What we publish instead is what we built, and the research behind every decision.
