Counting Sheep Club is the bedtime app for exhausted parents and overstimulated kids. Get personalized stories that help your child settle, so bedtime stops being a 2-hour battle. --------------------------------------- PERSONALIZED BEDTIME STORIES Every story is shaped around your child: - Their name, favorite things, and the people they love - Tonight's emotional state (anxious, restless, overstimulated, wound up) - Cues that help them calm down Get a story in less than 30 seconds. A quick check-in helps captures how your kid is feeling tonight and what they need to settle. --------------------------------------- STORY MODES READ MODE Read together for close, connected moments. LISTEN MODE Play narrated audio with gentle pacing and soft sounds when you need backup. Perfect for when you're too fried to read another book. Switch between modes anytime. --------------------------------------- GUIDED MOMENTS After stories, optional prompts help kids name what they're feeling. Simple questions to help them close the loop on their day. A way to end bedtime feeling connected instead of defeated. --------------------------------------- YOUR NIGHTSTAND - Your stories are automatically kept for 5 days - Manually save unlimited favorites - Reread or replay saved stories anytime - Kids ask for the same story when it makes them feel safe --------------------------------------- WHO IT'S FOR Parents of kids at any age who need help winding down. Stories personalize to your child's developmental stage and tonight's specific needs. --------------------------------------- HOW IT WORKS 1. QUICK CHECK-IN (30 seconds) Fill out tonight's quick check-in: emotional state, physical state, what they need to feel. 2. STORY CREATION Personalized story with their name, favorite things, and calming cues matched to their state. 3. READ OR LISTEN Choose your experience: read together or play narrated audio. 4. GUIDED MOMENT (OPTIONAL) Simple cues to help your kid process their day. 5. SAVE Keep stories in Your Nightstand to revisit anytime. --------------------------------------- WHY COUNTING SHEEP CLUB Most bedtime apps focus on kids. We focus on you: the parent running on empty. You're exhausted. Your kid is overstimulated. The only thing that works is a screen, but you know it makes sleep worse. You resort to it anyway because you're touched out, mentally fried, and you just want them asleep so you can breathe. Then you lie in bed feeling like you failed. That's the moment we built this for. No judgment. No "perfect parenting." Just a tool that works, so you can end bedtime feeling connected instead of defeated. --------------------------------------- FREE TO TRY 3 free stories to get started.
