Your child is the protagonist by name, with their interests woven in. Not a library of generic stories — tales written about them, fresh every night.
Every story is tuned for sleep: gentle pacing, sensory detail, no peril or chases, ending with the protagonist drifting peacefully off to sleep.
Less than the price of a coffee a year for the bedtime tale. Add a hand-painted illustration with each story for $10/mo. Cancel anytime, switch tiers anytime.

Generated for a 5-year-old whose interests were the moon, small animals, asking why.
Maya had a question, and it was this: where do dreams come from?
Not *how* — she knew how felt too big and too grown-up and probably involved a lot of words that would take all night. Just where. Where, exactly, did a dream begin before it arrived in her head?
She thought about it while she was supposed to be thinking about other things.
Yours will use your child’s name, age, and interests.
It works best for ages 2–10. The model is told the child's age and adjusts the vocabulary, sentence length, and themes accordingly. The story is short — about 600–800 words, roughly a 4–5 minute read aloud.
Yes. Each story is generated the same evening it's sent, using your child's name and chosen interests as inputs, and a different archetype each night so the stories don't feel repetitive.
Every generated story passes a content-safety check that rejects violence, peril, scary creatures, weapons, loss, and other content not appropriate for bedtime. If a story doesn't pass, the system regenerates with a stricter prompt before it ever reaches you.
Cancel any time from the manage link at the bottom of every story email — that stops future billing immediately. For refunds, two automatic conditions: if our cron didn't send a single story that month (delivery failure, our fault), you can refund that month for 90 days. If our logs show no one opened or clicked any story we sent that month, you can refund it for 30 days after the month ends — no need to explain. Anything else, email tucktales@forage.bot and we'll sort it with you.
Your email, your child's first name only, their birthday, the interests you enter, the delivery time and timezone, and anything else you choose to add in the profile — brothers' and sisters' first names, subjects to avoid, or a note about where you are at the moment. No last names, no photos, no account for the child. We never sell or share any of it.
Yes, and you do it yourself — no email, no waiting on us. Every story email has a “Delete my data” link, and it is also on your manage page. It shows you exactly what is about to go, then erases the profile, every story we wrote, and every illustration, and cancels your subscription in the same step. Story links stop working immediately. It cannot be undone. Your payment record stays with Stripe because we have to keep accounting records, and story emails already in your inbox are yours, not ours.
At launch, one subscription is one child profile. To add another child, sign up again with their details — each profile gets its own stories.
Each nightly story arrives with a custom AI-painted cover illustration — calm, picture-book style, generated fresh for that night's tale. The text and the bedtime feel are identical to the $1 tier; you're paying for the art. You can switch tiers any time from the manage link.
