The bedtime your kid keeps, even when you can't.

Travel-heavy work has a real cost: the nights you miss tucking your child in. Video calls help when timing aligns. They don't most of the time — bedtime in their zone is mid-meeting in yours, or already too late by the time you get back to the hotel.

A personalized audiobook in your voice fixes that one specific gap. Two minutes of recording, once, becomes hours of bedtime stories your child can play themselves on any trip you take. They hear you read; they fall asleep. You can be in Tokyo or Toronto.

How it works

Two minutes of your voice on your phone, in any quiet room — home, hotel, even the office at 6pm.

Built around irregular schedules

Most of our traveling-parent customers don't travel every week — they travel some weeks, on a schedule that's both predictable and impossible to plan bedtime around. The audiobook works for both: it's the default option on nights you can't read in person, and it disappears the rest of the time when you're home.

You don't have to sit your child down for a video call from the hotel. They have you whenever they want.

Frequently asked questions

I'm on the road most weeks. How does this help?

Record two minutes of your voice once. We deliver an MP3 audiobook in your voice within a few days. From then on, every time you're traveling, your child can play it at bedtime — at home, in a car, on a plane. Plays without internet. The recording works for every trip, not just one.

Do I need to record from home, or can I record from a hotel?

Either works. A quiet hotel room with the AC off is fine. If HVAC noise is unavoidable, record from the bathroom — usually the quietest space.

What if my schedule means I'm home one week and gone the next?

That's the typical use case. Record once, rotate through multiple audiobooks across trips — a Grimm's tale for a quick trip, a longer book like Pinocchio or Oz for a longer stretch. Your child has their pick when you're gone, and you read in person when you're home.

Will my child still want to read with me when I'm home?

Yes. The audiobook is a substitute for one specific moment — bedtime when you can't be there — not a replacement for in-person reading. Kids prefer being read to in person when given the choice.

Can I order more than one book?

Yes. The voice clone from your original recording can be reused for additional audiobooks at standard pricing. One recording session covers an unlimited library over time. Email [email protected] about additional titles.

What about time zones?

Doesn't matter. The audiobook plays on local time — your child's bedtime — regardless of where you happen to be. No coordination, no Wi-Fi-dependent video call.
