Build Me A Story

Your child says what happens. A whole story comes back - written for their age, illustrated page by page, and saved to read again together. What they type is never sent to us. The main character's name and the story idea are used to build the story, and for nothing else. There's no sign-up, no tracking, and no data selling. MAKING A STORY There are two things to type and three things to choose. • Describe the main character - your own child, if you like. • Say what it's about. "A dragon who is afraid of the dark." "Grandpa's shed." • Choose who it's for, how it should look, and how long it should run. The words will arrive first, so you can start reading while the robot finishes drawing the pictures. WRITTEN FOR THE CHILD IN FRONT OF YOU The age you pick changes the reading level and the sentence length, not just the page count - a story for a two-year-old is a different story from one for a ten-year-old, not a shorter one. • Toddlers (2–3) - one or two very short sentences a page • Preschool (3–5) - two or three short, simple sentences • Early readers (4–7) - three or four sentences, and longer words • Confident readers (6–9) - a real plot, with a beginning, middle and end • Independent readers (8–11) - longer pages, proper stakes, something to get your teeth into Choose from one of four art styles. Every page is illustrated in this consistent style, so it hangs together like a real book. Short (4–6 pages), medium (6–8) or long (9–12). IT BEHAVES LIKE A BOOK • Pages turn on the fold, the way a real page does. Your library of finished stories is a book too. • In landscape mode you get a proper spread: the words on one side, the picture facing them. • You can use a pinch gesture to change the text size to suit you and your child. • Light and dark, following your device or set to whichever you prefer. • Page-turn buttons, text-size buttons and screen-reader labels, for accessibility. KEPT ON YOUR DEVICE Your child's stories are stored on the device, pictures and all, and open with no connection. Building a new story needs the internet; reading one you already have does not. ENGLISH AND GERMAN The story can be in English or German. The app itself can be English or German as well. HOW IT WORKS Stories and pictures are generated from your child's request by an AI model. Every story is one of a kind - the same idea will never give the same one twice, so a story your child likes is worth keeping. The model is told to write for the age you choose and its own safety filters apply on top; neither is perfect, so we recommend that your child is supervised while using the app. Anything factual in a story is invention rather than fact, and this is an app for an adult to read alongside a child. PRIVACY • The character's name and the story idea are never sent to us. They appear in no usage statistic, no diagnostic log and no crash report. • No advertising, no profiling, no third-party trackers. No advertising identifier, no device identifier, nothing derived from your hardware. • What is recorded is the shape of what you did rather than the content - how often a story is finished, which options are picked, what failed and never identifies you. This helps us to improve the app for the future. • One switch in Settings turns off recording even this limited data. • We do not and will not sell data or usage information to any third parties. Nothing goes to advertisers or data brokers. FREE Free to use, with no ads and no subscription. We expect to charge for building new stories at some point; the stories you have already built will stay readable for free.
