Bedtime stories, read in your own voice.

Record your voice once. Pillowtale reads ready-made and personalised stories to your child in it, so you can be there at bedtime even when you are not in the room.

Not on the App Store yet. In preparation for App Review.

01 · What it does

Your voice, their story.

Made for parents and guardians. The parent uses the app; the stories are for the child. No email sign-up, no login, no ads.

01

Record once

A short reading in the app is enough. Pillowtale turns it into a voice that can read any story in the library, and yours stays the one your child hears.

02

Ready-made stories

A library of bedtime stories written for reading aloud, with illustrated pages, paced for sleep rather than for screens.

03

Personalised AI stories

Your child's name, age and interests, turned into a new illustrated story. A parental gate sits in front of anything that costs or creates.

04

Nine languages

English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish, for the interface and for the stories.

05

Plays with the screen off

Stories keep reading from the lock screen and in the background, so the phone can stay face down on the nightstand.

06

Free trial, then a subscription

Seven days free. The decline path is as visible as the accept path, and the terms are written before you press anything.

02 · Privacy

Your voice stays with us.

A parent's voice is the most personal thing this app touches, so the rules for it are short and written down.

Cloning

Your recording is turned into a voice on a server operated by Parallax Technologies. It is not sent to any third-party voice-cloning company.

Accounts

There is no email sign-up and no login. Nothing about your child is required to use the ready-made stories.

No account

Deletion

You can delete your voice and your stories from inside the app. The full policy says what is kept, why, and for how long.

03 · Questions

Frequently asked.

When does Pillowtale launch?

It is in preparation for App Review. We do not publish dates we cannot keep. Send an email from the button above and we will write to you when it is live.

Does the child need to use the phone?

No. The parent sets up the voice and picks or creates a story. Playback works from the lock screen and in the background, so the phone can stay out of reach.

Is my voice used for anything else?

No. It is used to read stories to your child inside your own account, and for nothing else. See the privacy policy for the exact processing and retention.

What does it cost?

A seven-day free trial, then a subscription. The exact prices appear on the App Store listing for your country when the app is live.
