Story Teddy
Made in Australia

Bedtime stories with your child in them.

A small wooden-quiet box for the bedside. It writes a new story for your child โ€” using their name, their friends, the things they love โ€” and reads it aloud in a warm voice. Tap the picture, and it begins.

No screen to scroll. No microphone. No ads. No videos to fall into.

How it works

Three things, then you can put your phone down.

1

Tell it who they are

Their name, their age, the dog, the best friend, the thing they are frightened of this month. Once, in the app.

2

Stories arrive on their own

Written overnight and waiting on the shelf by morning, each with its own picture.

3

They tap a picture

No reading required, so a three-year-old can work it alone. It remembers where they stopped.

Story packs

Buy stories, not subscriptions you forget to cancel. A pack sits on the shelf until it is used.

Prices in Australian dollars, GST included.

What a story costs elsewhere

We like both of these. They make lovely things, and if your child wants the Gruffalo, buy them the Gruffalo โ€” we cannot write that. What we can do is put your child in the story.

Prices read from each company's own Australian storefront on 4 August 2026.

What it deliberately cannot do

A list we are prouder of than the feature list.

It cannot listen

There is no microphone in it. Not a disabled one โ€” there is no part.

It cannot watch

No camera either, and nothing on the screen but a shelf of covers.

Nothing reaches in

The teddy asks our server for its stories. Nothing on the internet can start a conversation with a box in your child's bedroom.

Every story is checked

Written, then read again separately for anything that does not belong in a children's story, before it ever reaches the shelf.

Not quite open yet

Story Teddy is being built and tested on two real children in Sydney, who are the harshest reviewers available. Packs go on sale when it is good enough for yours.
