An almanac of bedtime

Tonight,
in your voice.

A new bedtime story every night — written for your child, read aloud in Mom’s or Dad’s voice. Even on the nights you can’t be there.

The bedtime story is older than writing. Talmanac just keeps it going on the nights you can’t.

Chapter I · How it works

Three small rituals.
One quiet kingdom.

I.
Voice recorder consent screen, naming a voice 'Mom'

Lend us your voice

Six short passages, read aloud in a quiet room. About four minutes. We name it Mom, Dad, or whatever you like.

II.
Story creator screen with listener age, mood, and length pickers

Choose tonight’s mood

Bedtime, nap, or playtime. A listener age. A length. An optional spark — a sleepy forest, a kind rabbit.

III.
Story player with auto-scrolling transcript reading 'Moonlit Ocean'

Press play. Drift off.

A fresh story, written tonight, read in your voice. The words light up as they’re spoken.

A passage

Hear how it sounds.

Moonlit Ocean
Nap · 2 min · in Mom’s voice

The waves crash gently against the sandy shore.

The sun is setting, and the sky is painted with warm pinks and oranges.

A little girl sits on the sand, her knees bent and her hands in her lap.

She watches the waves, her eyes wide with wonder.

The water is cool and refreshing, and she feels a sense of peace wash over her.

A demo — the real one is read in your voice.

Chapter II · The choir

A voice for
every grown-up
who matters.

Mom. Dad. Bibi the grandmother. Uncle Sal who lives a flight away. Each voice rests in the choir, ready to carry tonight’s tale — even when the people themselves can’t.

Chapter III · The archive

Every story,
kept like a chapter.

Tonight’s story doesn’t vanish at sunrise. It’s saved — cached on your device, ready to be replayed offline next Tuesday at 3am when someone needs it again.

The almanac

Small magic, every night.

Ages 1 to 10

From toddler-simple to early-reader rich. The vocabulary, arc, and length all tune themselves.

Your voice, cloned kindly

Six short passages, four minutes, total. Stored privately. Yours to delete whenever.

Three moods

Bedtime, nap, or playtime. Soft and slow, or bright and bouncy — your call.

A spark, optional

“A sleepy forest. A kind rabbit. Something calming.” Steer the story with a single line.

Auto-scrolling transcript

Words light up as they’re spoken. Older kids read along; younger ones just drift.

Offline replay

Each story is cached on the device. Airplane mode, basement, road trip — bedtime still happens.

Letters from the night

What parents say.

I travel for work two weeks a month. My daughter heard my voice every single night. I cried in a Marriott in Cleveland.
— Daniela, mom of one · Brooklyn
My dad passed in March. We recorded six passages from an old voicemail. My son still gets bedtime stories from grandpa.
— Marcus · Atlanta
My partner and I both clone in. Our kid has tied bedtime to whoever’s home. It freed our evenings.
— Priya & Owen · London
I was suspicious of AI doing bedtime. But the stories are calm, simple, never weird. My boy asks for a new chapter every night.
— Jen, kindergarten teacher · Portland
A note from the keepers

Privacy, plainly.

Consent first, always.

The recorder won’t even start until you confirm you have permission to record the voice. We mean it.

Your voice is yours.

Voice samples are uploaded once, kept private, and never used to train anyone else’s model.

One tap to forget.

Delete a single voice or wipe everything from Settings. The almanac keeps no copy.

On-device when it can be.

Story text is written on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence whenever your device supports it.

The footnotes

Questions, answered.

How long does it take to clone a voice?+

About four minutes. Six short passages read aloud in a quiet room. You name the voice (Mom, Dad, Grandma) and it’s ready for tonight.

Can I use it without cloning a voice?+

Yes. Talmanac ships with a warm built-in narrator (Apple narrator) so you can start a story 30 seconds after install.

What ages is it for?+

Kids 1 through 10. The story arc, vocabulary, and length adapt to the listener age you pick.

Does it work offline?+

Once a story is generated, the audio caches on your device. You can replay it on a plane, in a basement, anywhere.

How do you keep my voice safe?+

Voice samples never leave our private cloning pipeline. They aren’t used to train anything. You can delete the cloned voice — and all stories — at any time from Settings.

How much does it cost?+

Free to download with a generous nightly story allowance. A small monthly subscription unlocks unlimited voices and longer chapters.

Android?+

iOS first. Android is on the constellation map for late 2026. Drop your email below to be notified.
