How it works

Three steps. About two minutes.

Chapter one arrives first and the rest are written while you read. You see the reading and listening time before you start.

  1. I.

    Choose

    Genre, tone, point of view and length. Flash fiction for a coffee break, a novella for a long weekend.

    Choosing a genre and length
  2. II.

    Shape

    Write your own premise or pick one of ours. Rename the characters, set the chapters, choose the ending. Or skip it all.

  • A series only you can continue

    Each story keeps a record of its characters, places and ending. Correct it, then write book two.

  • A story that keeps going

    Start an episodic series. Each episode ends on a hook; write the next one when you are ready, and end it with a finale.

  • On the plane, in the tunnel

Questions

Before you download

Is the story written by AI?

Yes. An AI model writes it from your choices. Exported stories carry an “AI-assisted” note.

Does listening cost extra?

No. The app uses the voices built into your phone. Voice quality depends on your device.

What content is allowed?

Everything from bedtime stories to dark, mature themes. No explicit sexual content. Intimate scenes fade to black.

What if a story fails?

If a story cannot be finished, your credits go back to your account automatically.

Who can see my stories?

Only you. Your stories are private. A public library where you can choose to share them comes later.

Tonight’s story is waiting.

3 free credits are enough for your first short story.
