For editors

Bedtime stories are everywhere. The ritual is the product.

Most story apps are libraries to scroll. Luna is built around a few quiet minutes instead: one new story, written for one child, read aloud at the end of the day.

“A few quiet minutes, one story that is theirs alone, and nothing in it that keeps a child awake.”
The idea behind Luna

In one sentence

Luna Story writes and reads aloud a brand-new bedtime story starring your child, pitched to their age, with no ads, no tracking and nothing frightening in it.

In a paragraph

Luna turns the end of the day into a ritual a parent and child share. A parent picks where tonight's story happens and, if they like, something on the child's mind, such as kindness or courage. Luna writes a new story that stars the child by name and runs about 3, 6 or 10 minutes depending on their age, illustrates it and reads it aloud, highlighting each word so early readers can follow along. Every story is saved to the child's own bookshelf and plays with no connection, on trips and on nights away from home. Stories can be written in 12 languages.

What makes it Luna

Three promises

01

Written for one child

Their name, their age, tonight's place and the value on their mind. No two stories are the same.

Cloud Kingdom
The Starlit Forest
Written for Milo

02

Made for winding down

A gentle narrator, each word highlighted as it is read, and no peril at any age.

03

Kept on their own shelf

Every story is saved to the child's bookshelf, to read again tomorrow, filtered by place, and played with no connection.

Tonight’s story joins the shelf

Safe by design

What Luna will never do

  • No ads, no tracking

    The app carries no advertising, no advertising identifier and no third-party analytics or attribution SDK. It is listed in the App Store's Kids category.

  • The child never sees a store

    Settings, plans and anything that costs money sit behind a grown-ups gate: a number written out in words, tedious for a child and trivial for a parent.

  • Nothing frightening

    Every story follows written rules: no peril, no villain, nothing lost that matters. Stories are made for winding down, at every age.

  • The child's profile stays home

    A first name and an age band are stored on the device. No account is needed, and no child's data is ever sold or shared.

Six worlds

Where tonight's story happens

Every story is set in one of six calm places, each painted for the app. A parent picks one, or lets Luna surprise them.

  • The Starlit Forest

    Moss, owls, glowing mushrooms and paths that go quiet at dusk. Stories set in the Starlit Forest are slow and soft, and the forest always gets darker in a friendly way.

  • The Sleepy Sea

    Tide pools, turtles, warm shallows and the long breathing of the waves. Stories set by the Sleepy Sea move at the pace of the tide, which is a very good pace for falling asleep.

  • Dinosaur Valley

    Enormous, gentle dinosaurs, warm springs and ferns taller than houses. Stories set in Dinosaur Valley are big and perfectly safe — nobody roars, and everyone is kind to small things.

  • Cloud Kingdom

    Cloud stairs, lanterns, kites and soft rain above everything. Stories set in the Cloud Kingdom are light and floaty, with a lot of looking down at a sleepy world.

  • Snow Village

    Lamplit windows, warm stoves, quiet snow and kind neighbours. Stories set in Snow Village are cosy winter stories, where the cold only ever makes the inside warmer.

  • Space Station Nine

    A garden module, floating seeds and the Earth turning slowly past the window. Stories set on Space Station Nine are calm space adventures where nothing goes wrong for long.

On their mind

A quiet value, woven in

If something is on a child's mind, a parent can add it, and Luna weaves it gently into the tale rather than turning it into a lesson.

  • Being kind
  • Being brave
  • Telling the truth
  • Sharing
  • Trying again
  • Saying sorry
  • Being patient
  • Being thankful
  • Helping someone
  • Being a good friend

Beyond the story

The ritual around the story

  • A bedtime reminder

    A gentle nudge at the hour a family chooses, so the ritual keeps its place in the evening.

  • Luna's voice, or yours

    A soothing narrator reads every story aloud. Turn the narration off and the same illustrated pages are yours to read.

  • A bad night costs nothing

    If a story fails to write, nothing is used up: no credit, no night of the subscription.

  • Every family's language

    Stories in 12 languages, including Arabic, Japanese, Korean and both Chinese scripts.

Story angles

Ways into the story

  1. Winter break and nights away

    Holidays move bedtime to the car, the grandparents' house and the hotel room. The offline shelf brings the ritual along.

  2. A calm screen at bedtime

    One story, read aloud, then the lights go off. No feed, no ads, nothing to scroll.

  3. Built for the Kids category

    No advertising identifier, no tracking, no third-party analytics, and a gate between the child and every store.

  4. A small independent studio

    Bridge Softwares builds focused apps for everyday family life, with a free download and an optional subscription.
