Stories with a purpose

Transparent AI
Before anything is created, we tell you which AI provider receives each piece of data and why, and ask for your permission. It is never used to train models.
Privacy first
Your family's data is never sold, and you can delete your account and all your data from the app at any time.
No ads
A calm, safe space for your child — no advertising and no distractions.
The NeuroStories magic
Your family, turned into cartoon characters inside the story
Upload a photo and NeuroStories turns your child and up to 5 family members — pets included — into illustrated characters, the heroes of their own story. Seeing themselves inside the story changes everything.
+ Attention
When children recognize themselves as the hero, their attention spikes and stays on the story.
+ Retention
Learning through themselves improves how much of the story's lesson they absorb and remember.
+ Connection
Seeing their own family on the pages builds emotional closeness and a desire to read again.

Features
Two ways to create, one hero
A challenge for something that's hard, an adventure to imagine and laugh. Either way, your child and family live the story.
A challenge
For something that's hard: emotions, routines, fears, school, family, sleep… Pick from dozens of situations or write your own.
An adventure
To imagine and laugh: outer space, under the sea, dinosaurs, a secret mission… or tap "Surprise me" and let the story invent itself.
Your family as cartoons
Your child, parents, siblings, grandparents and even the pet appear as illustrated characters, made from a photo.
An illustration on every page
Every page gets its own full-screen illustration in an animated-film style.

What is a personalized story?
A personalized story is written for one specific child: it uses their name, age and interests, and the people in their life as characters. In NeuroStories, your child and family are also drawn as cartoons from a photo, so they recognize themselves on every page.
When children see themselves as the hero, they pay more attention, remember more of what happens and want to read it again. That's why a personalized story works just as well for something that's hard as for a fun moment together before bed.
How stories help with everyday challenges
Meltdowns when the tablet goes off, fear of the dark, a new baby sibling, sharing toys, the first day of school… These are normal childhood challenges, and stories are one of the gentlest ways to face them: your child watches a character just like them go through the same situation and find a way through.
With "A challenge" you pick a topic — emotions, routines, social skills, independence, sensory, transitions, fears, school, family or sleep — and a specific situation, or describe it in your own words. The story ends by showing the skill in action, without lecturing. If your child is neurodivergent (autism, ADHD) or sensitive to noise, the predictable story and the "Voice only" sound setting make it even more comfortable.
- Puts words to big feelings
- Prepares kids for changes and new situations
- Shows step by step how to solve a problem
- Strengthens your bond through shared reading
- Builds confidence in daily routines
What are social stories?
Social stories are short, descriptive narratives that explain a specific situation — going to the dentist, taking turns, starting school — and what to expect in it. Carol Gray developed them in 1991 for autistic children, and today they're used with many other kids because knowing what will happen reduces uncertainty.
NeuroStories' challenge stories build on that idea: clear language, a familiar situation and a hero who succeeds. The difference is that here the hero is your own child, with their family, and the story is ready in about a minute.
An adventure: the creative mode to imagine and laugh
Not everything has to be a challenge. With "An adventure", your child is the hero of a fun story: in outer space, under the sea, with dinosaurs, on a secret mission or in an upside-down world. Type the idea, dictate it, or tap "Surprise me" and the whole adventure invents itself.
Every adventure has a real plot — a problem, attempts, a clue and sometimes a final twist — and if your child asks for a favorite movie character, we turn it into an original character for the story.
Bedtime stories starring your family
Bedtime is the perfect moment for a story: a short adventure to dream about, or a story from the "Sleep" topic about staying in bed alone, the dark or nightmares.
Every story comes narrated, with soft music and, if you like, sound effects that follow the story. All sound stays below the voice, and you can slow the narration down for a calmer end to the day.
