Story worlds
Not another bedtime story app
Every story is planned like a film, written for your family alone, and performed by a cast of voices.
Written like a film, just for you
Every story starts from a screenplay: a real plot, a gentle twist, a running joke, and a calm ending. No templates, no repeats: tonight's story has never been told before.
Your family are the heroes
Describe each person in your own words. Ages, hometowns, hobbies, pets, the things they love and can't stand all find their way into the plot.
A voice for every character
Natural studio voices read each character's lines, children sound like children, and the narrator says who is speaking so little ones always follow along.
19 languages
Translate any story into Spanish, Hindi, Marathi, French, Tamil, Telugu and more, and hear it read aloud. Perfect for bilingual families and grandparents.
Soothing soundscapes
Gentle generative music under every story: ocean waves, rain on the roof, crickets, starlight chimes. A sleep timer fades it all out.
Your idea, any idea
“Superman saves the world”, “a picnic on the roof with a polite owl”, “we build a raft to the island in the park”. Type it and the story is written around your idea.
Stories shared by the community
Names and details stay private; only the story is shared. Tell any of them with your own cast.

Questions parents ask
How does StoryChoose write a story?＋
You describe your characters and, optionally, an idea. Our storyteller first plans a short screenplay (a logline, three acts, a goal for each character and a set of scenes), reviews it for originality, then writes it chapter by chapter as a conversation between your characters. Each story is new; it is never filled into a fixed template.
Is it safe for young children?＋
Stories are written to be calm and kind: no villains who truly threaten, no frightening surprises, affectionate teasing only, and every story ends with everyone safe and sleepy. You choose the mood, and the reading level follows the youngest character's age.
What happens to my family's details?＋
Your characters and your stories are private to your account. When a story is shared as a public template, names, ages and places are replaced with placeholders, so nothing that identifies your family is published. You can delete any story, character or your whole account at any time.
Which languages can stories be read in?＋
English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu use natural studio voices. German, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic and Russian are translated and read by your device's own voice.
How long does a new story take?＋
The first chapter is usually ready in under a minute and narration starts seconds after that. You can listen while the rest is written.
