storyFT - Bedtime Stories

storyFT is a bedtime audiobook app for kids: a curated library of public-domain fairy tales, folk tales and lullabies, read by volunteers, streaming free to everyone, forever. MADE FOR LITTLE LISTENERS No reading required — a child finds their story by its picture, and tapping it starts the audio straight away. Two taps from open to story. WHAT'S IN THE CATALOG Recordings from LibriVox and the Internet Archive. Every story is listened to by a person before it's added — never scraped and published automatically. New stories arrive every month, grouped into collections like Fairy & Folk Tales and Lullabies, Rhymes & Poems. ENDS IN SLEEP Four sleep-timer choices: end of story, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or off. Instead of cutting out, the audio fades gently over the final stretch, and the screen settles into a still goodnight picture that dismisses with a tap. SAFE BY DESIGN No ads. No usage analytics or tracking of any kind. No accounts to create and nothing for a child to type. No social features, no sharing, and no links out of the app anywhere a child can reach. The only notification storyFT ever posts is the playback control on your lock screen — never a reminder, never a promotion. OFFLINE, WITH LIFETIME PRO The whole catalog streams free, forever, whether or not you ever pay. Lifetime Pro is a single one-time purchase — not a subscription — that lets you keep stories on the device to play in the car, on a plane, or in airplane mode at bedtime, and it works across your family's devices. A downloaded story stays yours even if it later leaves the catalog. There's also an optional tip, which unlocks nothing and exists only if you'd like to help. FOR GROWN-UPS Purchases, downloads and settings sit behind a quick math question a young child can't answer, asked again every time. In there: limit stories to an age group, choose the sleep-timer default, decide whether it keeps playing through a collection, and manage downloads. Questions?

Stories now keep going until it's time to sleep. The timer starts on 15 minutes, and with 15 or 30 minutes stories play one after another from the same collection, never the same one twice in an evening. "End of story" is now "One story". - Fixed: the next story could be skipped or marked as heard without playing, and the lock screen kept showing Pause after the evening ended. The library now holds 177 stories, each one listened to by a person before it was added.
