Six steps to your first tale
Create your family
One space for the whole family, and the profile every tale is built on — so each story can account for who your child actually is. Every tale you make stays here, ready to read again.
Add your child
Name, age, what they love — and who is around them: friends, siblings, nursery, the family pet. All of it shapes the story. Add a photo once if you want the hero to look like them; every tale after that reuses it.
Choose the format
Text to read, narration to listen to, illustrations to look at — or a printed book to hold.
Say what it should help with
Afraid of the dark, a new baby at home, hard goodbyes at nursery. Write it in your own words — psychologists built the rest.
Read it tonight
The tale is ready in minutes and yours for good — on screen, read aloud, or in print.
Talk it over afterwards
Every tale ends with a short note from the same psychologists: what this story was quietly working on, what to ask afterwards, and the words that help it land.
Your data
Your child is not our product
You are trusting us with a small person. Here is exactly what we do with what you give us.
Encrypted, on the way and at rest
Everything you write and every file you upload is encrypted travelling to us and encrypted while it is stored.
Upload a photo once
We keep it on encrypted storage so you never upload it again, and every new tale draws the same familiar hero.
Delete it whenever you like
A photo, a child, or the whole family — one tap and it is gone from our storage for good.
We ask for as little as we can
A first name, an age, and what is going on right now. That is what a story needs. We do not collect more.
Never written to our logs
Your child's name, photo and voice never appear in our logs or in the tools our team uses day to day.
Never sold, never for advertising
The only outside services that ever touch your data are the ones that build the tale itself. They are bound by contract and named in our privacy policy.
Built on real child psychology — not a clever prompt.
Our psychologists wrote the method
The algorithm behind every tale was written by child psychologists, and our AI is trained on it — so each story works gently on what your child needs right now, instead of improvising.
No lectures, just adventures
Your child watches a hero just like them make a brave choice — and quietly learns they can too.
In your child's language
Every story is written directly in your language — never translated into it, so it always sounds like it was meant for you.
Why we start this early
The hardest feelings arrive early — long before a child has words for them. A four-year-old certain something lives under the bed. A six-year-old whose whole world just gained a baby sister. A child who cannot yet say what hurts, only that something does. Those moments pass either way. What differs is whether anyone helped make sense of them while they were happening.
Mainory exists for that window. A story is how a small child first understands anything at all, so we put your child inside one and let them watch someone exactly like them be brave, share the toy, ask for help. Not a lesson — an adventure they happen to recognise themselves in. Handled at three, a fear is a story about a brave fox. Left alone, it is often still there at thirty.
We are not therapy and we do not replace it. If your child needs a specialist, please find one. What we are is the half hour before sleep you already spend together, made to do a little more work than it did last night.
Do that often enough, early enough, across enough families, and something larger shifts: a generation that grew up able to name what it feels. Children are what the world becomes. Helping them start well is the most useful thing we know how to do.
The present that knows their name
A book with your grandchild, niece or godchild as its hero — in their own language, printed close to home wherever home is. Tales become giftable at launch; leave your email and we will tell you the day they do.
