Stick Figure Storytime

Stick Figure Storytime turns your words into a hand-drawn cartoon, live, as you type. Write "Bob jumped and kicked the robot" and watch Bob leap, land a flying kick and send the robot tumbling with a big comic-book POW. Every name you write becomes a character with their own marker color. Every action becomes a move. Every "BOOM!" shakes the stage. TYPE A STORY, WATCH IT HAPPEN • Characters walk on stage the moment you name them • Over 40 hand-animated moves: run, jump, flip, punch, kick, dance, hug, cast spells, breathe fire, fall asleep and more • Speech bubbles for anything in quotes, plus shouts, whispers and thoughts • Faces that show feelings: happy, scared, angry, in love, dizzy • Scenes that change with your words: castles, cities, forests, beaches, under the sea, a classroom, a snowy hill, a soccer field, space and Mars, day, sunset, night, rain and snow ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE People, kids, giants, dragons, dinosaurs, monsters, robots, aliens and ghosts. Over 60 hand-drawn animals, from horses and elephants to owls and penguins, plus sharks, whales, octopuses, bees, butterflies, frogs and snakes. Cars, boats, planes, trains and rocket ships you can climb into. Knights get helmets, wizards get pointy hats, pirates get pirate hats. Tap any character to change their color, outfit or what they are, and yes, the horse can wear a top hat. PRESS PLAY When you're done, sit back in the theater. The curtains open and your whole story plays from the beginning, with subtitles, at the speed you like. HAND-DRAWN STAGES Pick a sketchbook, a chalkboard or a blueprint look. Lines wobble like real hand-drawn animation. STORYTIME PLUS One optional purchase, paid once, no subscription: save any story as a video to send to grandparents and friends, keep as many stories as you like (the free shelf holds 6), and no ads. Purchases sit behind a grown-up check. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No account, no tracking, and it works offline. The free app shows kid-safe ads: a small banner on the home screen and an occasional ad after a story ends, never during one. Storytime Plus turns them off. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, you can turn on the Smart Director to have Apple's on-device model understand even trickier sentences, and your stories still never leave your phone. Great for kids learning to write, for parents at bedtime, for teachers and for anyone who has ever doodled a stick figure in the margin.
