A calmer bedtime, one little story at a time. Elluna writes a fresh, gentle bedtime story for your child every night — about them, the things they love, and the kind of mood they need to drift off to. Then it reads the story aloud in a warm, cosy voice. No two stories are the same. No streaming queue to scroll, no decisions at 9pm. Just type your child's name, pick a vibe, and a personalised story unfolds in seconds — ready to read together or hand over to one of Elluna's storyteller voices. Made for the bedtime moment • Five story lengths from a one-minute lullaby to a full ten-minute chapter • Six storyteller voices, each with their own warmth and pace - preview before you pick • Playback speed control for very young listeners and early readers • Audio keeps playing when the phone is locked, so you can dim the screen without killing the story • Choose a setting (forest, ocean, garden, farm, space, or any) and a gentle lesson (kindness, bravery, sharing, patience) — or skip both for a free-flowing tale • Reading-level options for toddlers, young readers, and older kids learning to read on their own • Cinema mode dims the screen automatically once narration starts, so a bright phone never wakes a sleepy room Save the ones they love — and keep them, even when you change phones Favourite a story and replay it tomorrow, next week, next month. Each one is yours forever. Your saved stories sync to the cloud so a new phone or a fresh install doesn't lose what your child has built up. The story-text is always free to read together — narration is what we charge for. Honest, predictable pricing • Start with a 7-day free trial — hear every story read aloud, free for a week • 6 free narration credits to try the app - no signup, no card • Pro gives you monthly narration credits, with unused credits able to roll over for a short time while the subscription is active • Top-up credit packs are available for Pro users if you ever run out mid-month - never a dead-end paywall • StoreKit shows the exact local price before purchase, and Elluna shows the credit cost before narration Different story lengths use different amounts of credits, and we tell you exactly what each will cost before you tap. We promise three things: no ads, ever. No surprise charges. And every action is reversible — favourite a story you don't love, report one that misses the mark, change your mind about a voice. The app should never make a parent feel tricked at 9pm. Built with care Stories are filtered for soothing tone before they ever reach the screen. The whole experience is designed around the realities of bedtime — a tired parent, a sleepy room, a child who needs the same warm wind-down every single night. We hope Elluna becomes part of your family's ritual.
