For families who believe in the enduring magic of storytime. Vooks is the trusted space where books come to life—gently narrated, beautifully animated, thoughtfully paced, and always hand-crafted by humans, never AI—for calm, connection, and growth. TWO APPS, ONE GREAT PRICE Your Vooks subscription gives you two great apps for the price of one: Vooks and Vooks Creator, where kids can make their own digital books with text, images, drawings, and voice recordings—turning their love of stories into stories of their own. NEW AUDIO LIBRARY For the moments when your family wants stories without the screen, Vooks now includes Listen—a growing audio library for quiet time, bedtime, car rides, wind-downs, and all the little in-between moments. With beloved stories, music, a sleep timer, and even a toothbrush timer, Listen helps turn everyday routines into calmer, sweeter moments kids look forward to. FOR PARENTS WHO WANT BETTER Created for parents who value quality over chaos, Vooks helps children fall in love with stories the way you remember—through warmth, rhythm, and wonder. Whether it’s part of your bedtime routine, a quiet moment in the middle of a busy day, or a chance to create together, Vooks is the safe, ad-free choice for families who want technology to reflect their values—not fight them. **Loved by over 1.6 million parents and teachers worldwide, Vooks keeps kids engaged in a way that feels meaningful, not mindless.** THE BEST READ-ALOUD EXPERIENCE Gentle animation engages without overstimulating. Perfectly paced narration feels like being read to by someone you love. Read-along text builds literacy naturally and joyfully. Stories build character, sparking imagination, empathy, and confidence. Vooks is more than an app—it’s a way to preserve the ritual of reading together, even when life gets busy. With a growing library of handpicked titles, Vooks offers a calm, trusted corner of the digital world where stories nurture imagination, character, and connection.

It makes fitting in those 20 minutes a day easy and joyful. Watch your child’s vocabulary, language skills, and love of books grow with every story. Explore hundreds of beautifully animated stories in English—with 100+ in Spanish—chosen to support emotional growth, teach meaningful lessons, and celebrate diverse voices and experiences.

Record yourself reading aloud, adding a personal touch to storytime, then share your recordings with loved ones anywhere, on tablet, desktop, or laptop. Create personalized playlists your little one will love. Handpick titles around favorite themes, learning moments, or routines, and share the magic of reading your way. “My three children all love Vooks!

Write a story together, one turn at a time. One person starts it from the app. Everyone else joins with a four-character code, on a phone or in a browser — no accounts, no sign-ups, no email address. Capy narrates a passage, asks what happens next, and whoever holds the pen decides. Nobody reads ahead. Nobody waits alone. HOW A STORY HAPPENS 1. Set the scene. Pick a genre or three, a language, and how grown-up the writing should be. Add characters if you have them, or leave it all blank and see what Capy invents. 2. Share the code. Four characters, read across the table or sent to the other side of the world. 3. Take turns. Capy writes a passage and asks a question. The host hands the pen to whoever answers it, and the story turns on what they choose. MADE FOR READING TOGETHER • Ten languages, and the story's language is separate from the buttons. Read a Japanese story with English menus, or the other way round. • Read aloud in a natural voice — for the long drive, the shared room, or a language you follow better by ear than by eye. • Tap any word you don't know. The explanation comes back in your own language, written for the sense the story is using rather than a dictionary's first guess. • Pitched to the reader, from new-to-the-language up to college level. The narrator writes to that band and checks itself. • Branch the story when you can't agree what happens next. Both halves carry on from the same passages. • Keep what you make. A saved story follows you to every device, to re-read, hear aloud, or carry on another day. WHO IT'S FOR Friends who would rather build something than scroll. Classrooms working on character, structure and voice. Writing groups and book clubs. Long car journeys. A family passing one story around the table, or across three time zones. Anyone who would rather find out what happens next together than alone. ABOUT TWISTS One twist writes one passage. Every library starts with 100, and packs are there if you run out. Twists never expire, and there is no subscription. A NOTE ON THE NARRATOR Stories are written by a language model from what you choose. We instruct it to write for the reading level you set and to keep within the bounds of a good adventure novel — no graphic violence, no sexual content, no explicit language — but no such system is perfect. If a younger reader is playing, an adult nearby is still the best setting.
