Screen time, but you're in it.
The easiest way to turn screen time into reading-together time — with a story that's actually about your kid. You in the frame, them in the story, both of you on the couch.
Try It FreeNo credit card. First story in under 60 seconds.
The 4:30 PM moment.
Dinner isn't going to make itself. The toddler is melting down. The 6-year-old has hit the wall. You hand over the iPad. Cocomelon starts. You exhale.
And then — the guilt. The little voice that says this isn't what I pictured. You know they'll be fine. You also know there has to be a better option than the algorithmic feed designed to glue them in place.
There is. And it doesn't require taking the screen away.
From passive watching to reading together — your child as the hero.
Same 20 minutes. Completely different outcome.
+38% 24-hour recall when the child is the protagonist (Symons & Johnson, 1997) · d = 0.59 for joint book reading (Bus, van IJzendoorn & Pellegrini, 1995)
They are the protagonist
Not a passive viewer. Their name. Their face. Their choices. Researchers call this the self-reference effect — kids retain stories where they are the hero up to 3x better.
Stories with a beginning, middle, end
Not an infinite scroll. Each story wraps in 3–8 minutes with a clear arc, a lesson, and a satisfying resolution. Designed for transitions, not stickiness.
Built for connection, not capture
No autoplay rabbit holes. No ads. No "next video" dopamine loop. When the story ends, your kid is calmer, fuller, and ready for what is next.
“I don't feel guilty handing over the iPad anymore. He's learning. He's the main character. He acts the stories out the next morning.”
