Personalized bedtime audio stories, starring your child
You describe your child and the adventure you want. The whole story is written around them, then narrated, ready to play at lights-out. It isn't a template with their name pasted in; every story is written fresh from your description.
There's a moment when a child hears their own name inside a story (their actual name, their dog, their favorite dinosaur) and sits up a little straighter. That's the moment these stories are for.
Purrytale builds each story from whatever you tell it. A child who's obsessed with excavators gets an excavator that helps the moon out of a muddy cloud. A child missing their grandma gets a visit woven right into the plot.
You also tell us who's listening. Little ones (ages 1 to 3) get short sentences, soft repetition, and one gentle idea. Growing kids (4 to 5) get a clear little arc, and big kids (6 to 8) get a fuller one with richer language. Same idea, told the way your child hears best.
What parents put in the story
Names, pets, comfort objects, current obsessions. The more specific you get, the more theirs it feels.

Tell us about your child
Their name, spelled your way, plus anything that makes the story theirs: a best friend, a pet, tonight's obsession. That's the whole brief.
Pick their age and a voice
Choose little ones or big kids, a short or longer story, a male or female narrator, and the language. Then press Generate and settle in together.
Play it at lights-out
A few minutes later the narrated story is ready. Download the mp3 and the text, and replay it as many nights as they ask for it.
What makes it theirs
Their name, exactly
Names are used exactly as you spell them and read the way they're written. For an unusual pronunciation, you can spell it out phonetically in the idea.
Their age
The same adventure is told differently for a two-year-old and a seven-year-old: sentence length, vocabulary, and how much gentle suspense the story carries.
Their current obsession
Dinosaurs this month, space next month. Each story is written fresh from your prompt, so it keeps up with whatever they love right now.
Replayable on demand
Kids ask for the same story again and again; the mp3 doesn't mind. Download it once and it's theirs for good.
Their language
Written and narrated in the language your family speaks at bedtime. Ten languages so far, with the same narrators in each.
Always bedtime-safe
Whatever the prompt, the story stays gentle and ends calmly. Nothing violent or scary makes it in.
Personalized on the page, and out loud
The personalization doesn't stop at the text. The narrator performs the story: your child's name spoken warmly, their hero's dialogue acted out, the ending delivered almost in a whisper. Hearing their own story told to them is a different thing from having it read off a screen.
One family's story, finished
This is what a one-line idea becomes. Press play.

Questions parents ask about personalization
How personalized is it, really?
The story is written fresh from your prompt every time, characters and plot included. Nothing is a fill-in-the-blank template; two families with the same idea still get two different stories.
Will my child's name be pronounced correctly?
Names are read as spelled, which handles most of them. For a tricky one, add a phonetic hint in your idea, like "Siobhan (say: shiv-awn)", and the narration follows it.
Can more than one child be in the story?
Yes. Put both names in the prompt ("siblings Ana and Tom…") and the story is written around both of them.
What ages does it suit?
Roughly ages 1 to 8. You pick little ones (1 to 3), growing kids (4 to 5) or big kids (6 to 8), and the story's language and pacing follow.
Do I keep the story?
Yes. Download the mp3 and the full text and keep them; the story stays in your history too.
What if the story misses the mark?
You can generate another take any time. Each generation costs credits and writes a genuinely new story, and every story you've made stays in your history.
