Storybooks where your child is the hero

TaleBit is an app that writes and paints personalised picture books for young children. A parent creates a small hero — hair, outfit, colours, or a real photo — and then a story can be started in two ways: a child speaks an idea out loud, or they build the adventure picture by picture from magical worlds, animal companions and moods. Within a few minutes the idea becomes a finished storybook with a painted illustration and recorded narration on every page, and the child chooses what happens on the next one.

It is made for families with children roughly between the ages of three and twelve, including families raising bilingual children, because the same story can be read and narrated in more than one language. Children read on their own with big, forgiving taps, while parents manage child profiles, photos, privacy and their plan inside a parent-gated area. Every page is reviewed for safety before it reaches a child, and photos stay private to the family that uploaded them.

TaleBit is built by a small independent team of parents, designers and engineers who wanted the bedtime story to be something a child helps create rather than only consumes. We build the app ourselves, test it with our own children, and keep the reading experience calm: no ads, no endless feed, and nothing to install or print.
