No-screen bedtime stories

Personalized bedtime stories. Even when you’re running on empty.

Every evening, a brand-new story built around your child’s name, age, and favorite things lands in your inbox. You read it aloud, they get to be the hero. No kid app, no handing them a screen, no inventing a plot when you’re already spent.

5 free nights — cancel anytime. Five real bedtimes to see if your kid starts asking for their story.

Star to add to Forever Bookshelf

Star the ones they love, and build their Forever Bookshelf over time.

Built for real bedtimes

You still want that quiet reading moment.

You already made it through dinner, cleanup, bath, pajamas, and the last-minute water request. You know reading matters. You just don’t always have the energy to invent a story from scratch.

Goodnight, Little Hero gives you a fresh story before bed. Your child is the hero. You bring the voice.

From the dad who built it
“Some nights I had a story in me. A lot of nights I didn’t. I was tired, or out of ideas, and bedtime turned into a negotiation instead of a moment. So I built the thing I wished I had: a fresh story, ready and waiting, where my kid is the hero and all I have to do is read it.”

Derek · Founder & Dad

How it works

Three steps to tonight's story.

STEP 1
Tell us about your child

Their name, age, favorite things, and bedtime routine. Set it up once, change it anytime.

STEP 2
We write tonight's story

Every evening we write a brand-new adventure starring your child. Same hero, a new story, never the same night twice.

STEP 3
Read it together tonight

It arrives before bedtime, ready to read aloud. Save the ones they love to your Forever Bookshelf, and a new one comes tomorrow.

For the whole family

Every kid gets their own story.

Set up each kid once. Each night, every child gets a story built just for them.

How it gets personal

Stories that grow with them.

Update their details anytime. New interests, new routines, new obsessions, and each nightly story keeps up.

Their name

Hearing their own name pulls them right into the story. They're not just listening, they're in it.

Their favorite things

Dinosaurs, space, sharks, trains, soccer, their stuffed animal. Whatever they love shows up in the story.

Your bedtime rhythm

Teeth, pajamas, lights down. The bedtime routine becomes part of the adventure instead of a checklist you're nagging them through.

Questions parents ask

Before you tuck in.

Is it safe to use AI for my kid’s stories?

Every story is written fresh for your child and kept gentle, age-appropriate, and free of scary cliffhangers. It arrives in your inbox before bedtime, so you always read it yourself first — nothing reaches your kid that you haven't seen.

What do you do with my child’s information?

We only ask for your child's first name and age. Everything else, like favorite things and routines, is optional. We use these details only to write and save your family's stories, nothing else.

How does the free trial work?

Your first five nights are free, and no card is needed to start. We will send a reminder on your last free day so you can choose Single Hero or Family if you want to keep nightly stories coming.

Does my child need a screen or an app?

Never. You read from your phone or a printout, at the bedside. There’s no kid-facing app, and you never have to hand them a screen.

How long are the stories?

Your choice each night. Short runs about 5 minutes read aloud, medium about 10, and long is 20 or more. Pick the length that fits the night.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?

Use the Contact link at the bottom of any page to send us a message. A real person reads every one and will help you sort it out.

The no-risk part

Try it for five nights. Risk nothing.

You never need a card to start. If bedtime isn’t better by night five, just walk away. You’ll never hear from us again, and every story you made is yours to keep. Worst case, you got five good nights for free.
