About this app

DOWNTIME FOR YOU. GROWTH FOR THEM.

We all deserve a few quiet minutes. We built Kidbox Stories to give you a break while your kids (ages 2 to 8) read, learn, and grow. It’s a library of illustrated, narrated children’s books with no ads. Just stories they pick for themselves, and quiet minutes you don’t have to feel guilty about.

HOW YOUR READER GROWS

Every storybook is animated and narrated, with each word highlighted as it’s read. Toddlers listen and watch. Preschoolers connect sounds to words. Early readers read it themselves with our Read Along feature, at their own pace, with help when they want it. “Read it to me” becomes “I’ll read it myself.”

REAL AUTHORS. GOOD HANDS.

Our stories come from therapists, counselors, teachers, television writers, and parents like you. People who know what a five-year-old finds funny and what a bedtime story is supposed to do. Find books by age, topic, or the skill you’re working on: sharing, big feelings, new siblings, dinosaurs, ponies, pirates, and everything between.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Our learning arcade turns vocabulary, spelling, phonics, and grammar into games kids beg to play. All the fun of an arcade, with learning at the center. Rounds are short enough for the car line.

THEY MAKE IT. THEY READ IT. (AND YOU RELAX.)

In a kid-safe corner of the app, your child picks characters, places, and fun ideas, and watches them become a fully illustrated storybook of their own. Kids who make their own stories read more, spell better, and stay happily busy. Their creations stay private to your family, right on the shelf next to the “real” books.

REWARDS THAT POINT THE RIGHT WAY

Finishing books earns stars. Stars unlock new stories, games, and stickers. Reading is the only currency in Kidbox: no coin packs and no upsells beyond your subscription. The reward loop runs on pages read, not minutes watched.

MADE FOR HOW FAMILIES ACTUALLY WORK

Separate profiles and shelves for each child
A parent view showing what they read and practiced (while you took your break)
Offline reading for flights and road trips
Your child’s data stays in your family. Never sold, never used for ads
Any book can be ordered as a printed keepsake and read screen-free

TRY IT FIRST

Reading starts free. No surprise paywall mid-story. One family subscription unlocks everything, and you can cancel anytime.

We’re three founders with five kids between us, and we built the 6pm screen time we wanted for our own families. For smarter kids, and saner parents. Hand it over tonight (thank us later).
