Some nights you can't be there to read the story. Snugglee makes a bedtime story where your child is the hero — and reads it to them in your voice. You record one short paragraph, once. From then on, every story is read in your voice: the same warmth, the same way you say their name. Whether you're working late, working away, on a different continent, or a grandparent who wants to say goodnight from another country. HOW IT WORKS Tell us their first name. That's all we ask for — no account, no sign-up. Pick tonight's adventure. One tap, and the story begins in about ten seconds. Add your voice whenever you're ready. It takes about twenty seconds, once. MADE FOR ACTUALLY FALLING ASLEEP Every story winds down as it goes. It starts gently and gets quieter, slower and less eventful toward the end — so it's calmest at the moment your child is most likely to drift off. There's nothing to tap during a story. No games, no questions, no choices to make. It plays itself, and your child just listens. Turn the screen off entirely and let it play in the dark. Phone face down, voice only. STORIES THEY'LL ASK FOR AGAIN Three gentle places to go: up through the cloud fields to a sleepy moon, out into a garden full of fireflies, or aboard a slow night train through sleeping countryside. Each story is written for your child by name, and quietly slips in a few new words along the way — carried by the story, never explained. Stories you've already made are saved on the phone. They're free to hear again, as many times as they ask, and they work with no signal at all — in the car, on a plane, or at a grandparent's house. ABOUT YOUR VOICE We take this seriously, so here it is plainly: • Your recording is used once to create your voice, then deleted. We never keep it. • Only you can use your voice. It's never shared, exported, or given to anyone else. • You can delete it at any time, and we remove it from our systems and from our speech provider. ABOUT YOUR CHILD • We store their first name and roughly their age. Nothing else. • No child accounts. No child login. No photos, no location. • No advertising. No tracking. No data sold to anyone, ever. Snugglee is designed for a parent to start and a child to listen to. Purchases sit behind a grown-up check. SIMPLE PRICING Your first story is free. After that, stories come in small packs you buy when you need them. There is no subscription. Nothing renews on its own, and there is nothing to cancel. Stories you've already made are always free to hear again. Made for parents who can't always be there — and for children who'd rather hear you anyway.
