About this app

Readby lets the people a child loves - parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles - record themselves reading books aloud, so their voice is there at bedtime even when they can't be.

Add a book, record yourself reading it page by page, and the story is saved to your family's library. At bedtime your child can listen to Grandma read their favorite book - on the couch, in the car, or on a plane - because recordings play back even without an internet connection.

WHY FAMILIES LOVE READBY
- Keep bedtime stories in the voices your child knows best
- Perfect for travel, deployments, long-distance grandparents, and co-parenting
- Works offline - downloaded stories play anywhere, no signal needed
- A simple, calm interface designed for kids and grown-ups alike

HOW IT WORKS
1. Add a book to your family library
2. Record yourself reading it, one page at a time
3. Press play at bedtime - as many times as they ask

BUILT FOR FAMILY
Invite the whole family to contribute recordings to one shared library, so every reader can add their voice to the collection.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Readby speaks English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Polish. Choose yours in Settings, or let Readby follow your device.

PREMIUM
Readby is free to start, and listening is always free. Premium unlocks unlimited recordings, video recording, high-quality audio, soothing ambient sounds, a sleep timer, page-turn editing, and reading milestones. One Premium subscription covers everyone in your family group.
