## What is Talebird?

All the peace, none of the guilt.

For the drive, the school run, the waiting room, the wind-down - the moments you'd buy peace with a tablet and pay for it in guilt. We've all been there. TaleBird fills them instead with personalized stories and short discoveries your kids come out having learned something from, imagined something with, and talk about after. Press play, eyes on the road.

READY WHEN YOU ARE
TaleBird fills Today and Tonight for you — a fresh set of stories and discoveries, one queue per kid, downloaded and ready. No prompting, no setup in the moment. Just press play, hands-free over Bluetooth. Or ask Siri: "Play stories in TaleBird."

STORIES THAT ALREADY KNOW YOUR KIDS
Set up each child once — name, age, the worlds they love — and TaleBird weaves a brand-new personalized story around them every time. Enchanted forests, far galaxies, secret gardens, or the timeless classics you grew up on. A different tale every time, never a repeat.

DISCOVERIES FOR CURIOUS KIDS
Short, two-voice takes on the big questions kids actually ask - why is the sky blue, how is glass made, how bees talk - plus the ones they'd never think to ask. Unlike handing them an open chatbot, every Discovery is safe to hand over, hands-free, and finite: a few calm minutes of "oh, THAT'S why!" with no rabbit holes, that you end up talking about together.

SCREEN-FREE, AND YOURS TO CONTROL
It's audio, not another screen — made for eyes closed or eyes on the road. You set it up and choose the worlds; your kids only ever hear content you picked. No accounts. Original and public-domain worlds only, never copyrighted characters.

MADE FOR THE CAR
Queue a story or discovery per kid and play them in a row. On CarPlay, browse your playlists right on the car's screen and pick one without touching your phone. Everything works offline too, with lock-screen controls and a Live Activity while it plays — perfect for the commute, the road trip, or a flight with no signal.

A LITTLE EXTRA MAGIC
Add a photo (only if you want to) and your child becomes the illustrated hero of the story — the same character on every page, a keepsake worth saving. Or turn a whole story into a print-ready poster. The pictures are a lovely bonus; the stories and discoveries are the point.

Days of wonder, discovery, and learning. Together.

TaleBird Plus unlocks unlimited stories and longer tales. TaleBird Studio adds your child as the illustrated hero (US & Canada). A small monthly subscription keeps them coming.

### 3.5 — 2026-08-03

The app now opens on real stories - your very first press of play is a story, not a tour. Hear a real sample right from the welcome tour with one big play button. Plus honest offline behavior: clear notices and a waiting-for-connection state instead of endless spinners - downloaded stories and discoveries always play.

### 3.4.1 — 2026-07-23

CarPlay now shows cover art throughout - every playlist and story carries its illustration on the car's screen, so the list reads at a glance on the road. Plus a round of small fixes and polish.

### 3.4 — 2026-07-17

Now on CarPlay. Browse your playlists on the car's screen, pick one, and it plays in order — stories and discoveries, hands-free, with your eyes on the road. Plus clearer Discoveries and a round of small fixes and polish across the app.

### 3.3.0 — 2026-07-13

Made for the in-between.

TaleBird now leans into the moments you'd usually fill with a screen - the drive, the school run, the waiting room, the wind-down. Press play and they become a story or a short discovery your kids will actually remember.

New in this version:
- Hands-free with Siri. Say "Play stories in TaleBird" and the queue starts, eyes on the road. A new Siri & Voice guide in Settings shows every phrase.
- Keepsake poster. Turn a whole story into one print-ready poster to save, share, or print as a gift.
- A fresh focus on stories AND curious Discoveries - how things work, history, nature - queued, downloaded, and ready to keep kids listening, learning, and imagining, offline and over Bluetooth.
- Polish throughout, with clearer now-playing details on the lock screen and in the car.

### 3.1.2 — 2026-07-10

A few thoughtful touches: a clear confirmation before a story is deleted, so a favourite is never lost by accident. An easier way to make your child the illustrated hero, right from the New Story screen. Clearer info about your free stories. Plus polish and fixes throughout. New stories and worlds keep arriving, so there's always something fresh at bedtime. Thanks for reading with us!
