Lullaquill is a calm bedtime ritual for grown-ups who love a good story: classic fairy tales, fables and folk tales from around the world, read aloud in a warm voice in 24 languages. Follow along as each sentence lights up, with two painted pictures on every page.
New: background sounds under the narration. Choose a music box lullaby, gentle rain, ocean waves or soft noise. After the last story, the sound can keep playing for 10, 30 or 60 minutes, then fades away. All sounds are made by the app itself.
The lamp is low and the house has gone quiet. A gentle voice begins a tale you half remember from long ago, and the day loosens its grip.
Lullaquill is an audio storybook for the end of the day. It plays classic folk tales from around the world in our own soft retellings: Aesop, the Brothers Grimm, Andersen, Perrault, and folk traditions from Africa, Asia and America.
Story Night
Choose 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Lullaquill lines up tales to fill that time, plays them one after another, then lets the sound fade away. Nothing to scroll through, nothing to decide at the end of a long day.

On iPad
The picture sits on the left and the words on the right, like an open book. With a keyboard, the spacebar plays and pauses.
New stories, quietly
New tales arrive on their own, without an app update.
Private by design
No ads. No account. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Nothing is collected.
A plain word about AI
The narration voice and the pictures are made with AI. The tales themselves are old ones, retold with care.
Dim the lights, press play, and let the story do the rest.
