Build Me A Story

Your child says what happens. A whole story magically appears - written for their age, illustrated page by page, and saved to read again together. The only limit is your child's imagination. What is typed in is never sent to us. Your characters and your ideas are used to build the story, and for nothing else. There's no ads, no sign-up, no tracking, and no data selling. MAKING A STORY Build a character once - you; family; friends; a banana; anything you like - and keep them, so the same hero looks the same in story after story. Then say what it's about: "a dragon who is afraid of the dark," "Grandpa's shed." Put up to three characters in a story, or write from just an idea. Choose the reading age, how many pages, and the illustration style, and your choices are remembered for next time. The words will arrive first, so you can start reading while the robot finishes drawing the pictures. When it's complete, it goes into your library. WRITTEN FOR THE CHILD IN FRONT OF YOU The age band changes the reading level and the sentence length, not just the number of pages. • Toddlers (2–3) - one or two very short sentences per page • Preschool (3–5) - two or three short, simple sentences • Early readers (4–7) - three or four sentences, and longer words • Confident readers (6–9) - a real plot, with a beginning, middle and end • Independent readers (8–11) - longer pages, engagement, something to get your teeth into Choose a length: short (4–6 pages), medium (6–8) or long (9–12). Choose from one of four art styles. Every page is illustrated in this consistent style, so it hangs together like a real book. IT BEHAVES LIKE A BOOK • Pages turn on the fold, the way a real page does - and your library of finished stories looks like a book too. • In landscape mode you get a proper spread: the words on one side, the picture facing them. • You can use a pinch gesture to change the text size to suit you and your child. • Light and dark themes, including on older tablets that have no dark mode of their own. • Page-turn buttons, text-size buttons and screen-reader labels, for accessibility. READS BACK OFFLINE Your child's stories live on the device, pictures and all, and open with no internet connection. Building a new story needs the internet; reading one you already have does not. ENGLISH AND GERMAN The story can be in English or German. The app itself can be English or German as well. HOW IT WORKS Stories and pictures are generated from your child's request by an AI model. Every story is one of a kind - the same idea will never give the same story twice. The model is told to write for the age you choose, and will apply its own safety filters on top. Filtering can never be perfect, so we recommend that your child is supervised while using the app. Anything factual in a story is invention rather than fact. This is an app for an adult to read alongside a child. PRIVACY, IN PLAIN TERMS • What the story is about, and what you type about your characters, are never sent to us, and appear in no usage statistic, diagnostic log or crash report. • No advertising, no profiling, no third-party trackers. No advertising ID, no Android ID, nothing derived from your hardware. • What we get is the shape of what you did rather than the content of it, and it never identifies you: how often a story is finished; which options are picked; what failed. This helps us to improve the app for the future. • One switch in Settings turns off the sending of even this limited data. • We do not and will not sell data or usage information to any third parties. Nothing goes to advertisers or data brokers. FREE Free to use today, with no ads and nothing sold to anyone. Generating each story costs us money, so at some point we'll need to charge for new ones - still no ads, still nothing sold. The stories you have already built will stay free to read.
