Sleepy Notes
Bedtime stories in your voice
Free · In‑App Purchases
Bedtime in your own voice, even when you're not there. Record once, then play 300+ stories — or write your own, in English or Hindi. No subscription, ever.
Your child listens. There is nothing to watch.
Sleepy Notes turns your own voice into bedtime stories, affirmations and comfort audio for your child. You record once, on your phone. After that, you press play — or your child simply listens while the phone sits face-down on the shelf.
WHY SCREEN-FREE MATTERS AT BEDTIME
Most things that keep a child occupied ask them to look at something. This one doesn't. The parent uses the app; the child only ever hears it. No animation, no autoplay, no bright rectangle in a dark room, nothing for a child to hold. Just a voice they know, in the dark, at the end of the day.
That means it works in the places screens don't. In the car. On a flight. In a room where the lights are already off. At a grandparent's house when you are on a work trip and bedtime is happening without you.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Record a short sample of your own voice, once.
2. Choose a story and tap generate. Stories in your own voice use story credits.
3. Press play. Your child hears the story in your voice.
Audio you generate is saved on your device and plays from there, so it keeps working with no signal.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Over 300 stories across seven categories. Every story in the library is fixed text, written and reviewed before we publish it — no story text is generated while your child listens.
- Bedtime — gentle wind-down stories, the biggest collection in the app
- Affirmations — short, kind, repeat-after-me stacks
- Classic Tales — original retellings of public domain favourites
- Duet Voices — two of your recorded voices narrating together, line by line
- Indian Tales — Panchatantra, Jataka and Akbar-Birbal, gently retold
- Festivals — Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Hanukkah, Nowruz and more, told through a family's evening rather than any doctrine
- My Stories — starts empty, and it is where you write your own and hear it back in your voice
Every story is sorted into three listening stages, so a three-year-old is not handed a seven-year-old's story: Tiny Listener, Little Explorer and Big Dreamer.
BUILT FOR AN ACTUAL BEDTIME
- Routines — line up a few stories in the order you use them every night
- Background music — soft, optional, mixed underneath
- Lock-screen controls, so you can pause without unlocking the phone
- One child free, two with the Starter Pack, each with their own name, stories and favourites
- Record one voice free to hear how it sounds; stories in it use story credits. Two voices with the Starter Pack, and up to six with extra voice slots — grandparents too
- Personalisation you control, with the Starter Pack — your child's name in the story, or a generic one, your choice
- Designed for iPad as well as iPhone
TWO VOICES, ONE STORY
When two people record, Duet Voices stories are written for two narrators — the story hands off between them, line by line, the way a real bedtime goes when you are both there. Any two of your recorded voices can read together: both parents, or a parent and a grandparent. Everyone who records gives their own consent and records separately.
PRIVACY
Stories recorded in your voice are stored on your phone (and in any phone backup you make) — never on our servers. There are no ads, and we never sell your data. We ask for the smallest amount about your child that the app can work with — a name (and how to say it), a pronoun, an age range, the themes they like — and nothing else. You can delete your voice, a child's profile, or your entire account from inside the app, at any time.
ONE-TIME PURCHASES
No subscription and no recurring charge. You buy a pack of story credits, and it is yours until you use it. If you run out, you can top up whenever you want to — never on a schedule, and never automatically. Extra voice slots are a separate one-off purchase, if you want a grandparent to read too. Browse the full library and listen in our narrators' voices before you decide to record your own.
Made by a parent who kept missing bedtime.
Say words your way in your own stories (see "Changing how a word is said" when you write one in My Stories), plus smoother recording and playback fixes.
