Screen-free

The story, without the screen

Just listen. Your recordings play like an audiobook — on a phone face-down on the nightstand, on a speaker, in the car — with the pages turning only if someone wants them to.

For the parents who worry about screens

A picture book, or a bedtime radio play

Every recording in Voicebooks can be played two ways. Open the book and the pages follow your voice. Or press Just listen and it plays through like a story on the radio — the phone goes face-down, the room goes dark, the voice keeps going.

Skip goes by book, not by page. Loop it for the ones who need the same story three times. Shuffle it for the ones who don't.

Music underneath

A soft bed of music under the whole playlist, ducked under the voice, or none at all.

Keeps playing in the background

Lock the phone, switch apps, put it in a pocket — the story keeps going, with the controls on the lock screen.

On the TV, too

The same recordings on the living-room TV, big pages and all, when it's not bedtime yet.

Every voice, every profile

A child picks their own name and hears the recordings made for them. Nobody else's settings.

We keep the phone in the hallway. The speaker on her dresser plays her dad reading and she has no idea there's a screen involved. That's exactly what I wanted.

Questions about listen-only bedtime

No. It plays the recordings straight through. The book is there if someone opens it, and hidden if nobody does.
Any speaker the phone connects to — Bluetooth, AirPlay, a cable. The phone does the playing.
No. It works on every plan, including the free one.
