Recording artists

Grandma's version.
Uncle Pete's version.
Every version.

People are always free. Invite as many grown-ups as you like to record for your kids — on every plan, including the free one. The only thing a plan sizes is the shelf.

The cast

A family is everyone who reads to them

An invitation is an email or a link. Whoever opens it becomes a recording artist for your family — nothing to buy, nothing to set up.

Grandma

Records the long ones. Does all the voices. Has never once finished a book in one sitting.

Uncle Pete

Three time zones away and somehow still the favourite reader in the house.

Dad

Records from hotels. Says goodnight between the pages.

The babysitter

Reads the same book slightly wrong every time, which the kids insist on.

Invite anyone

One link. That's the whole onboarding.

From the Family tab, invite a grown-up by email. They get a link, make an account (Google, Apple, a password — their choice), and they're in. They see the books on your shelf and can record any of them.

Roles are simple. Admins run the family — the shelf, the plan, the PIN. Recording artists record. A grandparent who only wants to read never sees a setting.

  • Unlimited recorders on every plan, free included
  • Unlimited listeners — every child gets a profile
  • Two names per grown-up: what the app calls you, and what the kids call you

How to invite Grandma and Grandpa

The shelf is the permission list

Put a book on the shelf and everyone can record it

An admin records straight from the catalog. But when you want Grandma to read something first, add it to the bookshelf without recording — that's her invitation to it. Artists can also ask for a book, and you approve with a tap.

Invite the best reader you know

They don't need a plan, a card, or a manual. Just the link.

Questions about everyone records

No. People are always free. A recording artist joins your family with an invitation and records on your plan — including the free plan.
As many as you like. Recorders and listeners are unlimited on every plan; the shelf is the only thing a plan sizes.
Yes. A grown-up in two families sees both, records for each, and can lend a finished recording from one shelf to the other.
