A bedtime story your child wrote by eating
Every meal your child logs adds to tonight's story. At dinner the last line arrives and the story opens, starring their hero, their buddy and their pet, and quietly making friends with the food they usually push away.
The day draws the story
The story isn't a random bedtime tale. It is built from what actually happened on the plate. Through the afternoon the home screen even says so: “Log dinner to unlock tonight's page.”
Pages aren't just read, they're played. Tap a glowing spot to find out who is hiding, hold the egg to warm it, help a friend across the river. A few small actions change what happens next, and every night ends on a cliffhanger and a new friend for the Cast Book, so there's always a reason to log tomorrow's breakfast.
No meals means no story that night. The habit carries the reward, so there is never a reason to nag.
A food to befriend
During setup your child plays “Yum or yuck?”. There are no wrong answers. Later you can choose one food they usually refuse as the food to befriend.
Over about two weeks the story characters, never your child, meet that food, play with it, cook it and finally take a curious bite. By the time it shows up at dinner, it is familiar and a little bit exciting.
You can also pick up to two story focuses, such as more veg and fruit, water, new foods, breakfast or calmer mealtimes. Stories never mention your child's logs or gaps.
Starring your child, their buddy and their pet
Your child builds a hero that looks like them from skin, hair, outfit and aura swatches. No photo is ever used. They pick a buddy: Waffli the creative bunny, Ferno the brave dragon, Zest the curious fox, Torbi the calm turtle or Puddle the cheerful octopus.
Their real pet joins every story too, or a story pet if they don't have one. A pet's name stays on the device.
Want it read out loud? “Read it to me” reads each page. And because parent check is on by default, you can read every story before your child does.
What a story will never say
Every story follows the same kindness rules as the rest of the app. The words healthy, unhealthy, good food, bad food, junk, diet, calories, weight, picky, fussy and yucky never appear. No sentence about food uses must, should or have to. Missed meals are never mentioned, and your child's allergens never appear in words or pictures.
A quieter day makes a gentler story, never a red mark.

Bedtime story questions
How is the bedtime story made?
Each meal your child logs adds to that night's story: breakfast and lunch each add a scene and dinner adds the last line. The story opens after dinner is logged, or in the evening if dinner never gets logged, as long as at least one meal was logged that day.
Who is in the story?
Your child's own hero, built from swatches and never from a photo, plus the buddy they chose (Waffli, Ferno, Zest, Torbi or Puddle) and their real pet or a story pet. Stories are shaped around the interests your child picks.
What is a food to befriend?
A food your child usually pushes away. Choose one in the parent settings and, over about two weeks, the story characters meet it, play with it, cook it and finally taste it. Your child is never asked to eat anything.
Can I read a story before my child does?
Yes. Parent check is on by default, so each night's story waits for a grown-up's OK. You can switch it off to let stories open on their own.
What happens if my child logs nothing?
No meals, no story that night. Nothing is taken away and nobody is scolded. Tomorrow's breakfast starts a new page.
Tomorrow's breakfast is the first page
Set up the family tonight in five minutes. Log breakfast tomorrow. Read the story at bedtime.
