Bedtime Stories for the Nights You Can't Be There
When you can't be home at bedtime, because of travel, late shifts, deployment, or co-parenting across two homes, NinniTales lets your child still hear a story in your own voice. You record your voice once, and your child can press play and hear you reading to them from anywhere.
Hear what your child would hear
A stand-in narrator reading a sample opening. Record once and this is you instead, on every night you cannot be in the room.
For parents who travel or work late
Business trips and late shifts shouldn't mean missing bedtime entirely. With your voice recorded once, your child hears you tell a fresh story on the nights you're not home, keeping the routine, and your presence, intact.
It's the same calming voice your child knows, available whenever bedtime comes around, wherever you happen to be.
For deployed and long-distance parents
For military families and parents working far from home, a recorded voice is a lifeline at bedtime. Your child can hear you read to them every night, even across time zones and long separations.
Because the app generates fresh stories in your voice, it never runs out. Your child isn't limited to a handful of pre-recorded clips.
For co-parents across two homes
When a child splits time between two homes, bedtime can feel different in each. With both parents' voices available, your child hears a familiar voice and a consistent routine no matter whose house they're in tonight.
Each voice stays private to your family, and everyone can add their own.
