No ads, ever · 3 personalised stories free every month · a library you won’t run out of
Written with care, checked for calm — no ads, and nothing rolls on to the next thing by itself.
You didn’t plan to hand them a screen.
You just ran out of everything else.
The tablet worked. That is the worst part — it bought you twenty minutes and cost you the evening.
What is missing isn’t the guilt. It’s a replacement.

StoryVeda
Their own nameYour languageIndian cultureMade to switch offYour own voiceA wind-down ritual
Story apps don’t do prayers.
Meditation apps aren’t made for children.
Neither one knows your child’s name.
Not a longer feature list.
A different category.
Four things, not forty.
Everything StoryVeda does sits under one of these. Nothing else to learn.
- Personalised stories Your child is the hero. Their name, their dog, their Nani, the thing they are obsessed with this month.
- Sleep & calm Audio-first, no autoplay, no advertisements. Built to end the day rather than extend it.
- Learning & values Seven languages, prayers and festivals, and words worth keeping — carried by the story, never drilled.
- Family memories Collections to return to, and stories you can send to a Dadi, a Nani or a Bua who lives too far away. Record your own voice and hear your family's stories narrated in it — and invite Dadi–Nana to record theirs with Apno ki Awaaz.
Don't take our word.
Take theirs.
Real stories from the app, narrated exactly as your child would hear them tonight. Switch the narrator and hear the same story change.

Listen together at bedtime
Warm narration, lights low, phone face down. Night after night.
You tell us about them.
We write the rest.
Their name. Their age. The pet who follows them around. Tonight's particular worry. Change anything below and watch the story change with it.
The Night Aarav Borrowed the Moon
Everyone they love,
written in.
Not a name dropped into a template. The people and animals who actually live in your child's day.
Nani, Dadu, Bua, Mama
Add the family and they turn up in the story — the grandmother who lives eleven hours away, the uncle who always brings sweets.
And whoever else lives there
The dog by name. The cat who ignores everyone. The imaginary elephant. Children notice instantly when a story knows.
Their name, said properly
A phonetic field on every profile, so the narrator says it the way you do.
Their age and reading level
The same story, pitched differently for a three-year-old and a nine-year-old.
What they are obsessed with
Space, dinosaurs, trains, cricket, magic — whatever it is this month.
Three narrators
Three warm narrators — Maa, Dadi and Didi — so bedtime can sound different on different nights. Didi's voice is free for every family; Maa and Dadi join with Premium.
Every story is built to finish.
Most apps are designed to keep your child watching. StoryVeda is designed to let them go to sleep.
No autoplay
The story ends. Nothing starts after it. Nothing pulls them back in.
No ads
Not now, not on a free tier, not ever. Nobody is bidding for your child's attention.
Ears, not eyes
Audio-first, so the screen can go face-down on the bedside table.
It slows down
The last minutes of every story get quieter and gentler on purpose.
the full story library. And one written
only for them.
Worlds to wander through — from Panchatantra to outer space, from Baby Krishna to extraordinary women who changed the world.
and narrated
ages 2–12
and meditations
Worlds worth returning to.
Episodic series your child can grow through, a few nights at a time. The story remembers where you left it.
The parts no other
app bothered with.
Shlokas with their meaning explained. Gratitude questions your child answers out loud. Festivals that arrive on time.
Prayers & chants
a deep library of recordings — shlokas, chants, breathing, guided visualisations — each with transliteration and a plain-English meaning, so you can explain it when they ask.
Gratitude, out loud
Three gentle questions a night, in seven languages. Your child can answer by speaking — and you keep the recording.
Festivals, on time
Diwali, Rakhi, Janmashtami, Navratri, Ganesh Chaturthi — the story arrives the week it matters, not months later.
Magic Word Vault
Every new word they meet is saved with its meaning, an example and how to say it. They can visit it whenever they like.
Goodnight Whispers
Record a short voice note before you travel. They can play it any night, as many times as they want.
Magic Moons
A quiet reward for finishing a story — streaks and small badges, with nothing to buy and nothing to chase.
A story in Dadi's voice, forever
Send any loved one a private link on WhatsApp. They open it in their browser — no app, no account — press one golden button, and tell a bedtime story in their own voice. It appears in your child's StoryVeda app within minutes, and it stays there.
Recordings are private to your family, are never made public, and can be deleted by you at any time. Listening to family recordings is free, always.
Available now in the app: Magic → Apno ki Awaaz.
Read them a story tonight.
From wherever you are.
A StoryVeda gift isn't a subscription. It's your voice at their bedside, in the language you'd actually use, every night — even from two thousand kilometres away.
We tried everything else first.
The stories were flat and generic. Nothing knew his name, his world, his pace.
The Hindi was so heavily Sanskritised that a five-year-old couldn't follow his own mother tongue.
Then autoplay would start the next one. Bedtime became a negotiation, every single night.

The questions parents actually ask.
How long does a story take to create?
About a minute. It was built for the nine o'clock window, not for a weekend project.
How many stories can I create?
Three personalised stories free every month. Unlimited on Premium.
Can siblings use it?
Yes. Each child gets their own profile, and their own stories about themselves.
Which languages does StoryVeda speak?
Seven, including English, Hindi and Hinglish.
Does it work offline?
Offline listening is part of Premium — useful on aeroplanes and in the car.
Is it safe for my child?
It is written for bedtime. No advertisements, no autoplay, no external links anywhere in the child's experience, and age-appropriate by design. Our privacy policy names every company that touches your data.
Can I use my own voice?
Yes. Record a short sample in the app and hear your own stories narrated back in your voice. Up to four family voices, each recorded with the speaker's consent, used only for your own family — never for anyone else.
