## What is Homemade Stories?

Homemade Stories turns your family's photos and voices into personalized story books for your children.

Record Grandma reading a bedtime classic. Capture Dad telling the story of how you met. Let a cousin narrate the photos from last summer's holiday. In just a few minutes you can build a beautiful, audio-illustrated story book that lives on your device — ready to play whenever your child reaches for it.

The app has two modes:

Admin mode (adults only, protected by a simple challenge) — create in minutes
• Add your own photos
• Record narration directly in the app, or upload an audio file
• Organize stories, songs, and birthday wishes into folders by theme, reader, or occasion — your creativity is the limit
• Edit, rearrange, and replace images or recordings anytime
• Back up your whole library to a single file and restore it on any device
• Interface available in 11 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi

View mode — made for little hands
• Large, tappable story tiles designed for toddlers and young children
• One tap to play, swipe to turn the page
• No menus, no ads, no in-app purchases, no distractions
• Pinch to zoom into photos during playback
• Works fully offline — nothing leaves your device
• Combine with iOS Guided Access to lock kids into the app — extra peace of mind for parents

Perfect for
• Bedtime routines with a familiar voice
• Keeping grandparents close when they live far away
• Capturing family history in the voices of the people who lived it
• Long car rides, quiet time, or anywhere a screen-free listening moment helps
• Children learning to read, who benefit from hearing a trusted voice

Private by design
Homemade Stories is completely offline. Your photos, your recordings, and your stories stay on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking, no ads — ever.

Turn the moments you already have into stories your children will love. Start with one photo and one voice.
