## What is Malu?

Tell Malu what you want to hear tonight. It writes the story and reads it to you.

A lighthouse keeper who finds letters meant for someone who died forty years ago. A retired baker fixing a squeaking drawer. A ghost story set in the hospital where you used to work. Whatever you describe, you get it back as a finished audiobook with its own cover, narrated in a calm voice, ready to fall asleep to.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick a mood, or describe your own idea. Choose who it is about and how long you want it. Malu shows you the back cover first: the title, the blurb, and every chapter. If it is not the story you pictured, change it before a word is written.

Then it writes and narrates the whole thing while you get ready for bed.

WRITTEN TO BE HEARD
Most stories are written to be read. These are written for someone lying in the dark with their eyes closed. Plain language. Nothing clever. Nothing you have to hold in your head.

FOR MINDS THAT WILL NOT SWITCH OFF
Malu started as a sleep app for overthinkers, and that part is still here:

- Sleep stories for the nights you cannot choose
- Guided breathing to slow a racing heart
- Soundscapes: rain, fireplace, ocean, night
- Short exercises for breaking a thought loop

WHILE YOU LISTEN
Adjust the narrator's speed and volume. Add rain or a fireplace underneath. Pick a male or female voice for each story. Everything keeps playing with the screen off.

YOUR STORIES STAY YOURS
Nothing you make is shared or published. No feed, no other people, no likes. Just a shelf of stories that exist because you asked for them.

Malu Premium unlocks story creation and everything else.
