Official Storybox app
Storybox is the kids story app for child-led stories.
Storybox, at mystorybox.co, turns a child's spoken idea into illustrated story pages families can read together. Use it as an AI story generator for kids for a bedtime story, travel story, or grandparent read-aloud that still has an ending.

Storybox stories
A child's voice starts the prompt, then Storybox creates illustrated pages with a beginning, middle, and end.

My Storybox
Families can save the stories that land, reread them, and share trusted reading links.
At bedtime
Bedtime prompts
Use a character, cozy place, and tiny problem when your child wants one more story at night.
Private by design
Your child speaks, and their voice never leaves the device.
When your child says a story idea, Storybox turns the words into text right on your iPhone or iPad. The recording of your child speaking is never uploaded to any server. Only the resulting text idea is sent to create the story.

Built for family story time
One spoken idea becomes a story you can actually finish.
Storybox is for children who have more imagination than typing patience, and for grown-ups who want screen time to come back to reading. A simple spoken prompt becomes illustrated pages the family can save and read again.
