Stories for little ones, told in a voice they know.

A new story whenever your child asks: at breakfast, in the car or at bedtime. It's read aloud in English or Romanian, even in your own voice.

Coming soon to the App Store For iPhone · Free stories included
Story worlds

A new adventure, every time they ask.

Pick a world (Bedtime, Emotions, Park Play, Kindergarten and more) and Glimsi writes a gentle story just for your child, then reads it aloud.

  • “What happens next?” lets them choose how it continues
  • Seasonal worlds that change through the year
  • A small quiz the next day about the stories they heard
Glimsi's story worlds: Emotions, Kindergarten, Park Play, Family Time, Bedtime and Curious Explorer
The End, and what happens next: two ways the story could continue
Your idea, or the dice

Any idea can become a story.

Type a sleepy tractor on a quiet farm, or shake the phone and let the story dice pick who, where and what. Glimsi only writes stories that are right for children.

The story dice: Bear Cub, Snowy Valley, Humming Compass
Your voice

Your voice, even when you're away.

Record a short sample, and Glimsi can tell stories in your own voice. That's for the nights you're travelling, or when a grandparent wants to read along from far away.

  • The voice is made on the iPhone, and your recording never leaves it
  • You confirm it's your voice, or that you have the speaker's permission
  • Character voices give every friend in the story their own sound

English and Română

Two languages, one tap.

Switch the whole app to Romanian, and stories are written and read in Romanian, with ten Romanian voices and Romanian friends in every tale. It's made for families keeping two languages alive.

Ready for what's next

A story for tomorrow's big moment.

The dentist, the first day of kindergarten, a haircut or a sleepover: pick what's coming up, and Glimsi tells a story that makes it feel familiar.

The Little Library's free stories are always there, even without a signal.

Plan: Dentist, Doctor visit, Kindergarten, Birthday party, Haircut, Airplane

Stickers

A sticker for every story heard to the end.

Every story that's heard all the way through earns a sticker, and listening streaks make some of them golden. The album fills up week by week, world by world.

Calm and safe

Made for little ones. Built for parents.

There's nothing in Glimsi to sell your child, and nothing that follows them around.

No ads, no tracking

No advertising, no analytics SDKs and no accounts to create.

Your voice stays home

Recordings and the narrator voice are made and kept on your iPhone.

Safety-checked stories

Every story is checked before it plays, and one tap reports it to us.

Grown-up check

Purchases and links that leave the app sit behind a check for adults.

Honest about AI

Stories are written by AI and the voices are AI-generated. A parent agrees once before the first one.

Free stories included

The Little Library plays for free, offline, with no subscription.
