Here's tonight's story for a little girl called Tara. Switch the language of her home, choose who tells it, and press play - that's the whole of bedtime, in about ten seconds.
1 · The story knows the child
Tonight's little dreamer
Language of home
2 · Choose who tells it
Tonight's narrator
These four are stand-ins. In the app they're yourfamily's real voices: Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, each recorded once, in about two minutes.
Once upon a time, in a town where the streetlights hummed lullabies, there lived a brave little dreamer named Tara. Every night, Momo the bunny tapped on the window with one soft paw and whispered, “Tara, the moon kept a story just for you…”
Voices are encrypted, never shared, and deletable anytime.
That was a stranger's voice.
Imagine it in yours. Two minutes of recording tonight, and your child never has a bedtime without you again, whichever city you wake up in.
How it works
No scripts to read every night, no screens for little eyes - record once, and bedtime is handled wherever you are.
Read a few short lines in the app, about two minutes. That's all we need to learn how you sound.
Gentle, age-perfect stories with your child's name and favourite friends woven in, narrated in your voice.
From the next room or another country. Screen off, lights low, your voice filling the room.
Less time than tonight's “five more minutes” negotiation.
The honest comparison
Most of them are genuinely good. Compare what happens at 9pm, and what only one of them can be: you.
Beautiful narration - by someone your child has never hugged.
Bedtime in your family's voices, tonight and in two years.

The part no one can copy
Anyone can clone a voice. No one else has your last five hundred bedtimes: the characters your child invented, the joke that only works on the third page, the way Grandma always tells the December one. That isn't a feature we built. It's just what happens if you keep pressing play.
You record your voice. Two minutes, once, on the sofa.
The bunny has a name now, and a backstory. Your child corrects you when you get it wrong.
Grandma tells the snow story every December. That's just how it is in your house.
“Do the dragon voice.” It's Dad's. It was always Dad's.
One day these aren't bedtime stories anymore.
They're recordings of how you loved them.
For little dreamers · ages 1–8
Start a story, put the phone aside, and your child can keep listening with the screen off.
Record once, and your child can hear bedtime stories in your voice.
Gentle, human-crafted bedtime stories made for little listeners ages 1–8.
NinniTales is a screen-free bedtime story app that reads gentle, calm children's stories in a parent's own voice. You record your voice once, pick a story, and your little one hears you at bedtime, even on the nights you can't be in the room.
No. Every NinniTales story is human-crafted: written by people, not generated by AI. AI does one optional job only: narrating those stories in a parent's or grandparent's voice, with their consent.
Yes. Your child listens with the screen off - there's no video to watch and no blue light before sleep. It's a calm, audio-only alternative to YouTube and tablets at bedtime.
When you choose to use the voice feature, you'll record a short sample of your voice. We use that recording to create a private AI voice that can narrate stories for your child inside NinniTales. Your voice is used only for story narration within the app, never for advertising or any other purpose. You stay in control and can delete your voice data at any time from Settings.
Yes, that's one of families' favourite parts. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa or any loved adult can record their voice, and your child can choose who tells tonight's story. Every voice stays private to your family.
Yes. NinniTales is built for parents and guardians, not children. It's ad-free and kid-safe. Voice recordings are treated as sensitive data, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold or shared. The voice feature is for an adult's voice only, and you can delete your voice model any time.
NinniTales is designed for little dreamers aged 1 to 8. The stories are gentle and age-appropriate, and the app itself is set up and run by a parent or guardian.
Nothing right now. NinniTales is in open beta and it's completely free for beta families: no card, no trial countdown. When we introduce paid plans after launch, early beta families will get plenty of notice (and a thank-you).
NinniTales is live on Android on Google Play. Access on iPhone and iPad is invite only. Tap Invite only to open the email form on this page and we'll email you when your iOS invite is ready.
Made with love for little dreamers and their favourite people.
Record your voice once, and give your child a goodnight that never travels away. Tonight can be the first story.
