Open the app and enter a few character names and details (e.g., your child, siblings, pets, favorite toys).
Pick a genre (Adventure, Fantasy, Space, Superheroes, and more).
Set the Silly Scale from “Super Chill” to “Ridiculous!” to choose the tone.
Tap Generate Story. You’ll get a ~5–10 minute bedtime story.
Share via iMessage, Mail, AirDrop, or copy to Notes/Pages to add drawings.
Tip: To add illustrations, copy the story into Apple Notes or Pages, draw with Markup, then export as PDF.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad which support Apple Intelligence running current iOS/iPadOS. On-device story generation uses Apple’s foundation models on supported devices. Older devices cannot run the app.
How do I share a story?
After generating, tap Share and choose iMessage, Mail, AirDrop, or another app. For illustrations, copy into Notes/Pages first.
Can I control how silly the story is?
Yes. Use the Silly Scale before generating. “Super Chill” is calm; “Ridiculous!” is extra wacky.
Does the app work offline?
Core features work offline on supported devices. Some sharing options may need internet.
Can the app generate images?
No, but why not paste the story into Notes/Pages and add your own drawings.
Are the stories safe for children?
Stories are designed to be family-friendly. Because content is based on your prompts, we recommend an adult reviews/reads aloud.
