Build Me A Story

Your child picks who it's about and what happens, then pulls the lever. A whole story magically appears - written for their age, illustrated page by page, and saved to read again together. The only limit is your child's imagination. What is typed in is never sent to us. Your characters and your ideas are used to build the story, and for nothing else. There's no ads, no sign-up, no tracking, and no data selling. WELCOME TO THE LAB Your stories stand in glass capsules on a conveyor belt. Tap one and its book glides out and opens. Six example stories are waiting from the very first launch, and your own stories are added as you make them. THE STORY MACHINE • Put in a hero, and a friend if you like. • Feed it your own idea, let the machine choose one, or choose a Where card and a What happens card - Pirate ship, Dinosaur land, A spell goes wrong. • Grown-ups set the reading age, length and art style, remembered for next time. • Pull the lever! Out comes a whole illustrated story, ready to read together. THE CHARACTER MAKER Build your own character - you; friends; an animal; a banana; anything you like. Give them a name and a look, or roll the dice for ideas, and the robot draws them at its easel. Pick your favorite, or pull the lever for more. They can be used again and again in different stories. WRITTEN FOR THE CHILD IN FRONT OF YOU The age you choose changes the reading level and the sentence length, not just the page count. • Toddlers (2–3) - one or two very short sentences per 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, engagement, something to get your teeth into Choose a length - short (4–6 pages), medium (6–8) or long (9–12). Choose one of four gorgeous art styles: • Whimsical • Magical • Vintage • Modern Graphic DESIGNED FOR IPAD • Works on iPhone too. • Pages turn the way a real page does. • In landscape mode you get a proper spread: the words on one side, the picture facing them. • Pinch or tap to resize the text, with page-turn buttons and screen-reader labels for accessibility. • Light and dark themes. • The app and its stories can each be in English or German. KEPT ON YOUR DEVICE Stories are kept on the device, and can be read with no internet. Only building a new story needs a connection. 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 story twice. The model is told to write for the age you choose, and applies its own safety filters on top. No filter is perfect, so we recommend your child is supervised while using the app, and anything factual in a story is invention rather than fact. This is an app for an adult to read alongside a child. PRIVACY • What the story is about, and what you type about your characters, 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 we get is the shape of what you did rather than the content of it, and it never identifies you. • One switch in Settings turns off the sending of 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 today. Each story costs us money to make, so there's a monthly limit on building new stories and characters. One day new stories may cost something - still no ads, still no data sold. Reading the stories you've built is always free and unlimited. Send us your feedback and ideas, directly from the app.
